Democrat presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg, in an apparent reference to a video showing President Trump last year referring to MS-13 gang members as “animals,” served up this lecture about humanity as a whole:
You do not refer to human beings as animals. You just don’t.

As Buttigieg is discovering, opinions vary:
Pete.
They are animals.https://t.co/XqRVpmvReQ

I mean, personally, I kind of think members of a death cartel who chop off women and children's heads and hang their bodies off highway overpasses are kind of animals but that's just me. https://t.co/wcR8zr8du5

You'd rather call Trump out than call out someone who would do this.
Then you'll wonder why a Democrat could not beat him a second time. pic.twitter.com/9yIWbiNjTv

A presidential candidate defends MS-13. https://t.co/q09oIVE0SF

When they murder in packs like animals, you do, and if you don't, you're a fool.

So, what's the better name for gang members who stab a teen 100 times and set him on fire? Or who cut off another man's head and tore out his heart, and so on? https://t.co/EbIQcmzUgs

While we wait for an answer from Buttigieg to that last question, maybe the Dem candidate should do a little introspection:
Dems can't even bring themselves to call pre-born babies human beings, but I'm supposed to feel bad about calling murderous gang members animals?

Dehumanizing human beings for politics is wrong. Unless we're talking about fetuses, of course. https://t.co/p1twGqzFc3

Of course.
Buttigieg is the epitome of courage in speaking the truth and stuff. https://t.co/TqDbs7hQyw

Buttigieg can't even bring himself to mention the fetus in that clip, just repeats platitudes about "difficult decisions" and the health of the mother trope. Forgive me if I don't take seriously his righteous indignation over unsavory comments about MS-13 murderers and rapists.

I don't take advice from the party whose platform is more concerned with protecting animals than living babies in the womb. Pound sand.

Especially right before you slaughter them in a late term abortion…

Progressive “priorities” sure can be confusing.
