As our readers know, "illegal aliens" and "immigrants" are two very different things. The Biden campaign and other Democrats put them all under the same umbrella with the term "migrants" or "immigrants," meaning they don't feel obligated to provide context.
That happened yet again with lefty media/Biden campaign account reports about what Donald Trump said recently in Michigan:
Trump: Democrats said please don’t call immigrants animals. I said, no, they’re not humans, they’re animals pic.twitter.com/yJ7fFHEUlh

Clips like that are selectively edited to leave something out:
Biden is pushing a new Hoax.

Trump was talking about illegal aliens who murder innocent people like Laken Riley.

The above dishonest framing from Dem media then spilled over into other media.
What was a bit surprising though was when Newsmax drew the attention/ire of many with this piece from Thomson/Reuters that's posted to their site (we'll get to the tweet they deleted in a second):

Are you trying to Bud Light Newsmax? It's working!https://t.co/w30wJXoiL3

Here's the Newsmax (!) story containing the reference to #Trump remarks as "degrading rhetoric he has employed time and again on the campaign trail." People have questions. https://t.co/zUvxdJYcWJ

The Newsmax story says that Trump used the term "animals" about illegal alien criminals, and the tweet has now been deleted. This is what it looked like:
Yesterday @NEWSMAX Morphed into CNN. They made a post stating President Trump called All illegal aliens Murderers, Rapists, and Animals.

They received a TON of Backlash for the Lies. This morning it appears they DELETED the Bogus post….

A low-level staffer was blamed for the post on Twitter:
UPDATE: Newsmax has deleted this and blamed it on a ‘low-level media staffer’

No word if the staffer is still employed pic.twitter.com/q78xa5Yc9G
Looks like @NEWSMAX deleted this tweet and blamed a scapegoat staffer...Wasn't NewsMax all in on the clot shot too? pic.twitter.com/3DJcy2aT4d

Newsmax has deleted this post and has attempted to explain it away by calling it a copy of a Reuters news story.

Are you buying it, and will you forgive and forget? pic.twitter.com/26VME3Vg04
The Newsmax tweet certainly can't be blamed on Thomson/Reuters, but it certainly looked like somebody from the lefty MSM could have written it.
