Per Twitter's RW media paid trend service: The White House, Justice Department and FBI announce an operation to dismantle MS-13 leadership, he also added politics into his statement so its his campaign reaching for straws, oh, & fat ass barr was strutting around tRump at the time.

(3,764 posts)They don't even really know what it means. They just call all brown people "MS-13" because it's the only gang name they know. The fact that they're all bent out of shape over it proves how stupid and easily led they are. MS-13 isn't even one of the bigger Mexican gangs in this country. They're like #8 or so on the list of Top 10 biggest Mexican street gangs operating in the United States. But Dear Leader once invoked their name as a dog whistle for ALL Mexicans, so now his drooling followers just go around repeating it like a bunch of deranged parrots. If they knew anything at all about gang violence in this country, they'd know that there are tons of other gangs that should merit the attention of law enforcement before they ever get to MS-13.
So, to me, when I hear someone call a Latino person "MS-13," it's just like hearing someone say the word "cuck." It identifies them as a an alt-right Nazi who has sworn fealty to Herr Trump.
