Listened to the episode on immigrants and aid workers. A large part of the episodes involves the people condemning the harsh rhetoric around immigrants, but the sound clip they use is out of context. They claim President Trump called immigrants “animals”. If you listen to the full clip you will hear he is talking about MS13 gang members who are known for their brutality.
