Trump Digs In: Media Is 'Dishonest' About My Illegal Immigration Remarks

[DonViejo]

Republican presidential candidate and real estate mogul Donald Trump said Friday that the media is being "dishonest" in covering his comments on illegal immigration, which have proved divisive within the Republican Party

Trump spoke at a news conference at the Beverly Wilshire hotel in Beverly Hills, California, where he was flanked by people who said undocumented immigrants had killed their family members. “People came into the country illegally and killed their children," Trump said. "It's a very, very sad thing what's happening in our country."

The topic of illegal immigration has dominated headlines in recent days due to Trump's prior comments referring to undocumented immigrants crossing the border with Mexico as "rapists" and drug dealers. In the news conference, Trump also mentioned the recent, high-profile death of 32-year-old Kathryn Steinle, who was fatally shot at a popular San Francisco tourist spot by an undocumented man who had been deported five times.

Trump insisted that the media has taken his comments about Mexican immigrants out of context because the press "in many cases is very, very dishonest."

"I have great respect for the country of Mexico," he said, adding "They're sending people into our country that we don't want but we take and that they don't want. And you know who they're sending."

1. What's dishonest about a video with the sound coming out of your very own piehole?

2. LOL, well said.

3. I don't mean to belittle those who lost loved ones

But we could find a number of people for everything that happens. Heck the NRA could find 5 people who were helped by open carry, but does that mean we all should open carry? That speech was horrible and trump used those people as props.

4. When one is a professional huckster everything is a prop.

And that includes Trump himself.

5. Confused

So is it OK to be legal and kill our children? I know that that has actually happened, the other not so sure of.
Just asking. T Rump is a difficult thing to fully understand, it seems as if he channels Goldwater, and Lee Atwater at the same time.
