The former president continued his campaign to denigrate people coming to the U.S. in search of a better life

Former president Donald Trump, who opened his 2016 campaign declaring undocumented immigrants “rapists,” took the dehumanization even further this weekend, saying some immigrants are “not people … these are animals.”

“I don’t know if you call them people. In some cases they’re not people, in my opinion,” Trump said at an Ohio rally on Saturday. “But I’m not allowed to say that because the radical left says that’s a terrible thing to say.”

“These are bad — these are animals,” he added. “And we have to stop it.”

    Whenever I read Trumps statements, I am reminded republicans lack basic human compassion. And probably a soul as well.

        Jesus: Give your money to the poor, forgive sinners, pay unto Caesar what is due to Caesar.

        Republicans: Hey! That brown skinned, middle eastern, Jewish hippie is saying a bunch of commie shit! Let’s crucify him!
