On Friday’s broadcast of CNN’s “The Lead,” CNN Senior Political Commentator and former Obama adviser David Axelrod remarked that President Trump’s description of MS-13 sounded like a description of a White House staff meeting.
In the clip Axelrod was played, Trump said, “They prey on children. They shouldn’t be here. They stomp on their victims. They beat them with clubs. They slash them with machetes, and they stab them with knives. They have transformed peaceful parks and beautiful, quiet neighborhoods into blood-stained killing fields. They’re animals.”
Axelrod reacted, “Well, I actually thought, Jake, when I first started hearing the tape, that he was talking about a White House staff meeting. I didn’t realize he was talking about this.”
