“I think what drives a lot of us crazy is that he comes in and has these big rallies and musters all this energy and lies and calls people ‘animals,’ and then he… blocked Republicans from negotiating a deal with us,” Slotkin said. “We have a bipartisan agreement.”
She also slipped in the term “animal” in an apparent attempt to piggyback on left-wing and mainstream media arguments. artificial President Trump spoke at a rally in Grand Rapids on Tuesday in the context of an illegal alien who has been charged with murder, and referred to all immigrants as “animals.”
President Trump detailed the alleged murder of 25-year-old Ruby Garcia by illegal alien Brandon Ortiz Vito and pointed to another murder in Grand Rapids in which an illegal alien was convicted of murder. He then spoke about the murder of Laken Riley in Georgia in February. Police suspect they have been identified as illegal immigrants. When President Trump spoke about Riley’s killer, he used the word “animal.”
Here is his full statement:
And just a few weeks ago, I met with the grieving family of Laken Riley. You know, Laken, she was amazing. She was at the top of her class and on top of everything. She was the culmination of everything. she was incredible. I met her parents and they were wonderful people. 22-Year-Old Georgia Nursing Student Brutally Killed by Illegal Exotic Animals – Democrats Say ‘Don’t Call Them Animals’ they are humans. ” I say they are not human beings, they are not human beings, they are animals. [Emphasis Added]
The Biden campaign quickly took Trump’s comment completely out of context, as if he were referring to all “immigrants” as animals. The @BidenHQ x account cut the video to just show President Trump saying, “Democrats say, ‘Don’t call them animals.'” they are humans. ” I say they are not human beings, they are not human beings, they are animals. ”

The body of the tweet uses the word “immigrants” instead of “they,” clearly misquoting President Trump. When President Trump said “they” he was referring to illegal immigrants who were accused of murder. “We want to close our borders. We want people to come into our country, but we want them to come in legally,” President Trump said shortly before that.
Slotkin appeared to remain silent for seven days before calling Garcia’s murder a “domestic violence homicide” during an appearance on CNN. situation On March 29th, he will perform with host Wolf Blitzer.

“This is a horrible, horrible, gruesome death on top of the many domestic violence incidents that have occurred in this area. But…the former president came here to make this into kind of a political event.” she said.
What Slotkin did not mention is that Ortiz Vito, the suspect in Garcia’s murder, was deported under the Trump administration in September 2020, months before Trump left office, and has since illegally entered the United States. That’s what I got back.
President Trump on Tuesday accused Ortiz-Vito of regaining admission to the United States under President Joe Biden’s administration.
“We threw him out of the country, and then crooked Joe Biden brought him back, kept him in the country again, and brutally murdered Ruby,” Trump said.
