Mike Huckabee Seems To Equate Kids Torn From Parents With MS-13 In Racist Tweet

Many of the migrant children separated from their families have been under the age of 5.
By Hilary Hanson

Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee (R) appeared to equate migrant children separated from their families at the U.S.-Mexico border with MS-13 gang members in a racist tweet Saturday morning.

“Nancy Pelosi introduces her campaign committee for the take back of the House,” Huckabee tweeted, along with a photo of men making signs associated with MS-13, a violent gang that began in Los Angeles in the 1980s. It now operates primarily in Central America and has members in the United States.

The Russian mob has been linked to trafficking, opioid distribution, and money laundering - and they have a reputation for being very brutal. Yet I don't hear squat about them from this administration; I don't see Russian emigrees being deported; and I sure don't see their kids being taken.

out...what did Jesus say about the stranger again?

And to top it off: I'll be sure to tell your grandchildren you voted for tRUMP because you still support and defend him.

Take that dear sister.

It’s always the same thing. “(Group X) is an imminent threat! If we don’t stop them, they’ll destroy our country!”

It’s the same garbage. A few drunk drivers killing people, and a few violent crimes translate to a nationwide call to arms against “the others.”

It’s just like how the gays are converting your children, the “transgenders” are raping women in bathrooms, and all Muslims are an unpatriotic security threat.

These Fascists are all scum!

Blood libel

Blood libel (also blood accusation) is an accusation that Jews kidnapped and murdered the children of Christians in order to use their blood as part of their religious rituals during Jewish holidays. Historically, these claims – alongside those of well poisoning and host desecration – have been a major theme of the persecution of Jews in Europe.

They’ve been pulling this shit for decades. Remember Willie Horton (be very afraid of the feral, unguided-missile of a black man) in 1988?

Racist then.
Mega-racist now.

he call himself a Christian. He is using this photo because he knows, as Trump has shown, that it will work. It will energize the deplorable, the haters. If nothing else, it will drive them to violence in securing a white deplorable America against tolerance and progressive policies.

There are 6000 to 8000 ms13 here. The gang started in east LA. How many arrive each year from abroad? I doubt it is even five percent. Hundreds of thousands come here. Ms13 is less than rounding error. Illegals in study after study are proven to be less likely to commit crime than native born. This is a fact proven with many different measurement techniques. Smearing them as ms13 is just like the blood libel used to make people hate jews.
