NBC Chief Foreign Correspondent Andrea Mitchell led the pack Wednesday afternoon in lying about President Donald Trump calling immigrants ‘animals’ when he was speaking about MS-13 gang members at a round table discussion on California’s sanctuary policies for illegal aliens. Much of the media and many Democrats joined Mitchell in lying about Trump’s comments.
“A tough take down by the California governor after @realDonaldTrump calls people trying to get into the country “animals” not people.”

A fed up Donald Trump, Jr. called out Mitchell on Twitter, “He was specifically talking about MS-13, and you know it. They are animals. I know you would rather side with them than Trump as you so often make clear but it’s a bad look for you Andrea.”

From an earlier TGP report on Mitchell, the media and Democrats smear of President Trump:
CBS News was the exception in the media, posting video and reporting online about Trump’s comments in proper context.
President Trump on Wednesday encouraged the Justice Department to investigate Oakland’s Mayor Libby Schaaf for “obstruction of justice,” after she tipped off immigrant communities about an Immigration and Customs Enforcement sweep. Mr. Trump made the comments in a California “sanctuary state” roundtable at the White House, with Attorney General Jeff Sessions feet away down the table.
“To me, that’s obstruction of justice,” Mr. Trump said. “And perhaps the Department of Justice can look into that…”
According to the White House pool reporter in the room, Sessions sat stone-faced as Mr. Trump made those remarks.
The president also called some illegal immigrants not human, but “animals,” after Fresno’s mayor expressed the difficulty in capturing and punishing illegal immigrants accused of crimes, such as members of the MS-13 gang.
“We have people coming into the country, or trying to come in — and we’re stopping a lot of them — but we’re taking people out of the country,” Mr. Trump said. “You wouldn’t believe how bad these people are. These aren’t people. These are animals. And we’re taking them out of the country at a level and at a rate that’s never happened before. And because of the weak laws, they come in fast, we get them, we release them, we get them again, we bring them out. It’s crazy.”…

Donald Trump, Jr. also retweeted this tweet that criticized C-SPAN for misleading editing that helped stoke the smear job against his father, “You intentionally began the clip immediately after he was asked about MS-13 gang members, an international criminal gang, crossing the border. Why would you mislead the public like this?”

He also retweeted the following tweets criticizing Mitchell.
That’s not what he said & not even remotely close to the context. The animals comment was in response to concerns about MS-13. Backing MS-13 over Trump isn’t the media narrative road I’d go down but this is going to be another rake so have at it https://t.co/XBMhVIb4ww

You're a liar, @MitchellReports.
He called MS-13 animals and they are, they brutally murder people. https://t.co/XvJoozortc
