There are really two things going on in this Fleccas Talks video. First of all, he’s in West Hollywood because Stormy Daniels and her attorney were there yesterday to receive the key to the city. Why does she deserve the key to the city? Because she’s part of the resistance to President Trump and I guess that’s all it takes these days.

The second element of the video is more interesting. Austen Fletcher asks the people of West Hollywood if they heard about President Trump calling MS-13 members “animals” and the reaction of some is outrage.

“I think he’s a pig,” one woman says, adding, “No, they’re not animals at all. They’re human beings just like us.”

A man in a green sweater said of Trump’s MS-13 comments, “I think he’s criticizing his own American people.”

A second man turned the accusation around on President Trump, “What can you say about this guy. He’s the animal.”

“Would you agree that not all MS-13 members are animals?” Fletcher asked.

“Absolutely,” the man replied. He then clarified, “The guys that [are] running around gang-banging, killing people, they’re animals, you know. But the rest of the gang—it’s a big gang.”

Back when President Trump said there were “very fine people” on both sides of the tiki torch parade in Charlottesville, I was one of the people who said this was garbage. People giving Nazi salutes and chanting about Jews are not fine people. To hell with those racist creeps. They are both dumb and dangerous, which is a bad combination. I wish the President had called them “animals.”

These people on the street in far-left West Hollywood are probably still outraged about Trump’s comments on Charlottesville and yet here they are making the same mistake. MS-13 is one of the vilest, most violent gangs on earth. Their motto is “kill, rape, control” and that’s exactly what they do, including here in America. Let me once again quote the lede from this Washington Post story published last November:

As many as 10 members of the MS-13 street gang lured a man into a park in Wheaton, Md., spoke with one another over walkie-talkies as he arrived, stabbed him more than 100 times, decapitated him and then cut out his heart, according to police documents made public Wednesday in Montgomery County District Court.

That’s just one example of many. So it’s pretty amazing to see members of the resistance (not to mention various left-wing activists and reporters) leap to defend the common humanity of these ruthless killers. Why would they do that?

It’s the same reason West Hollywood is giving a porn star who (willingly) slept with a married man the key to the city: They hate Donald Trump. They hate him so much that it’s not enough to point out when he’s wrong, they have to attack him even when he’s right. If that means defending the honor of murderous MS-13 members, they’ll do that. They hate Trump so much that the irony of it won’t even hit them.

Here’s the clip. The section dealing with MS-13 is toward the middle.
