The Biden campaign complained about former president Donald Trump describing illegal aliens who murder people as “animals.”
However, the Biden campaign’s statement was devoid of all context, suggesting Trump was describing all illegal immigrants as “murderers.”

“Trump: Democrats said, please don’t call immigrants animals. I said, no, they’re not humans, they’re animals,” the Biden-Harris HQ account, which is an official Biden campaign project, posted on X.
The clip they posted shows Trump saying:
“The Democrats said please don’t call them animals, they’re humans, I said no they’re not humans, they’re not humans, they’re animals.”
However, the post was misleading as it removed the previous 16 seconds of the speech which showed Trump referring to criminals who kill American citizens like Laken Riley.
In the full clip, Trump states:
“(The) student in Georgia who was barbarically murdered by an illegal alien animal.”
“The Democrats said please don’t call them animals, they’re humans, I said no they’re not humans, they’re not humans, they’re animals.”
He’s talking about criminal illegal aliens who murder innocent Americans.

Biden’s propaganda account clipped that part out

The former president added that he would “never forgot my vow” to Laken Riley.
Biden’s campaign’s attempt to twist Trump’s words comes just weeks after they did the same with his “bloodbath” comments, which they claimed were related to not winning the election, which, in fact, was really about China’s auto industry and the economy.
Biden also claims that Trump “refuses to denounce political violence,” despite the fact that he never called for it in the first place.
Donald Trump won’t do what an American president must do.

He refuses to denounce political violence.
I’ll say what Trump won’t: Political violence is never, ever acceptable in America. pic.twitter.com/hJ4jkMdhfY
This is pure projection; as we know, Democrats frequently call for political violence against Republicans but are let off scott-free by the media.

Here’s 2 and a half minutes straight of Democrats explicitly calling for political v*olence. Biden hasn’t denounced them. pic.twitter.com/mbGYXTWAN7 https://t.co/0FABva6m4p
