While discussing the murder of Georgia nursing student Laken Riley this week, Trump called the illegal migrant who murdered her an “animal.” The Biden-Harris campaign quickly jumped on the clip, selectively editing it, and then trying to make it seem like Trump called all immigrants “animals.”
Popular conservative media account Libs of TikTok shared the clip of Trump and the Biden-Harris attempt to change the framing of the clip.
Watch the full clip below:
New ‘bloodbath’ style hoax just dropped. Trump callled criminals and the illegal who m*rdered Laken Riley “animals.” They clipped it to make it appear that Trump is calling all “immigrants” animals.
Why do Dems love protecting criminals and m*rderers? https://t.co/WnZkopoaev pic.twitter.com/YYNCLjXBkr

Despite blowback for selectively editing the clip and attempting to manufacture a story, CNN is now deciding to run with the story as if the Biden-Harris framing was reality.
“But when he says these immigrants are animals, they’re not humans — what does that suggest?” CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer asked his guests. “Isn’t that brutal? Shouldn’t people be condemning that?”
“[Pres. Trump] was specifically talking about the person who MURDERED Laken Riley,” replies former White House aide Scott Jennings. “That poor girl was murdered in cold blood. Is that person who did it not an animal?”

Everything they say is a lie. This is no different

These media hacks are sickening in their attempts to drum up dissent and misinformation.

CNN viewers will still probably believe the hoax, just as many still believe these. pic.twitter.com/PmbHNIIRMI
