Donald Trump demonized immigrants during a campaign rally near Dayton, Ohio, on Saturday, telling supporters he thinks of some crossing the border as animals or not even people.

In a nearly 90-minute speech, the former president described an epidemic of immigrant-committed crimes and claimed, without evidence, that foreign leaders were offloading their prison populations at the southern U.S. border.

Trump baselessly suggested other countries were sending gang members and other undesirables to the United States before telling supporters, I dont know if you call them people, in some cases. Theyre not people, in my opinion.

But Im not allowed to say that because the radical left says thats a terrible thing to say, he defended, later referring to the hypothetical criminal migrants as animals and bad people.
