        I bet you also characterize large numbers of Trump voters as deplorables. What is the difference?

        Why don't you do some research on the most dangerous gang in the world. I'm sure MS-13 is glad that you are on thier side.

        You are an absolute dishonest, hypocrital, hack retard of a “journalist”: he called MS-13 members “animals.” Frankly, PETA should be more upset that he insulted animals by comparing them to MS-13 members.
