Former President Donald Trump sparked outrage this past Saturday after sharing his views on immigrants during a speech in Ohio.
The former U.S. president asserted that some of the criminals crossing the U.S.-Mexico border “I don’t know if you can call them people. I think in some cases they’re not people… They’re animals, but I can’t say that because the radical left says it’s terrible to say something like that,” he said.
He has expressed these opinions before, starting with his 2016 campaign when he labeled Mexican immigrants as “rapists,” and toughened his stance during his years in the White House.
At another point in his speech, Trump criticized what he believes are China’s plans to manufacture vehicles in Mexico and sell them to Americans. “They won’t be able to sell those cars if I’m elected,” he said.
In recent months, he has also claimed that some immigrants “poison the blood of the country.” He has also promised the largest deportation operation ever seen in the United States.
Responses to His Remarks
The Democratic Party responded in a statement: “The American people will hand him another electoral defeat this November. Because they continue to reject his extremism, his tendency toward violence, and his thirst for vengeance.”
Joe Biden’s campaign team also responded to these statements: “He wants another January 6, but the American people will give him another electoral defeat this November because they continue to reject his extremism. His fixation on violence and his thirst for vengeance,” the campaign said, referring to the 2021 U.S. Capitol riot by the Republican’s supporters.
It’s worth noting that in the same speech, he also claimed that “now, if I’m not elected, it will be a bloodbath for everyone. That will be the least of it—it will be a bloodbath for the country. That will be the least of it. But they won’t sell those cars,” he warned.
