If your hatred of Trump is SO INTENSE that you find yourself defending vicious ANIMALS like MS-13 gang members it might be time for an intervention. But if you’re blaming American policy for creating these monsters you are probably beyond the help of even an intervention and should just put the Twitter DOWN.
Like John Legend.
This is a seriously gross dumpster fire of a thread.
Even human beings who commit heinous acts are the same species as us, not "animals". I'm in the hospital with our new son. Any of these babies here could end up committing terrible crimes in the future. It's easy, once they've done so, to distance ourselves from their humanity

Using his newborn child to defend MS-13.
Alrighty then.
But it's much more honest and challenging to realize they were all babies once and think about what in society, their home life, etc took them from baby to violent gang member. And then to think about collective action we could take to mitigate these conditions

K.
And we should particularly interrogate the role of American policy in helping to make MS-13 the organization it is now.
— John Legend (@johnlegend) May 18, 2018
NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO and NO!
American policy is NOT responsible for these animals, not in any way, shape, or form. We know, John, you’ve spent nearly a decade listening to a president tell the world America is at fault for everything bad in this WORLD but no.
It’s not true.
And this sort of blame-game enables MS-13 ANIMALS.
Grrrr.
Dehumanizing large groups of people is the demagogue's precursor to visiting violence and pain upon them. It makes it easier to destroy their families and much worse.

Can’t.
Even.

What he said.
Oh please. Doesn't matter where they came from. They are murderers and rapists. I don't understand how the left doesn't realize this? Wow.

But you know, it’s Trump’s fault or something.
You're absolutely right. We should investigate the connection between sanctuary cities and the inflow of dangerous central and south american gangs. We should look at RICO charges for politicians who actively encouraged breaking the law to protect MS-13 as it moved in. https://t.co/fMenWWSY5H

HELL YEAH.
Fine, if John wants to talk American policy being at fault we should absolutely look at how this country enables criminals to live in our country illegally via Sanctuary Cities.
Oh, really? You pretend those who sell babies for sex, human traffic, and cut the hearts out of living 15 year olds, then dismember them are not animals. You pretending savages are just misunderstood makes you part of the problem.

Enjoy your son. Don't make him a tool to advance your political purposes. He'll call you an asshole when he's 15 and finds these tweets on the wayback machine.

Defending MS-13 is awesome. Please don't ever stop defending MS-13.

John, you’re smart enough to realize it’s a metaphor. A harsh euphemism for evil people. Let’s stop playing this silly little game…
— Brad Miller (@BrashMilla) May 18, 2018
Is he really smart enough to know the difference because we’re not so sure.

Uh John,

Humans ARE animals.— Socrates (@socratictimes) May 18, 2018
It’s science.
