Taking it out of context like this will allow it to be applied to anybody. "They" can be your family, a church group, or an inmate population, or anybody you like.

Here is what Trump really did say:

“When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending you. They’re not sending you. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.”

Almost two tears now, and nobody has come up with a quote of Trump referring to Mexicans, as a group, as "rapists." It is good to see that lefties understand that there is no evidence of Trump ever calling Mexicans as a group, "rapists."

Lefties still perpetuate the myth that Trump called all Mexicans or Mexican immigrants rapists, but nobody has been able to substantiate this claim yet.

He misspoke, he meant rappers.

This is what Trump said:
“When Mexico sends its people they’re not sending their best ... They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us.[sic] They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists, and some, I assume, are good people.”

They're rapists and some are good people? WTF? He meant rappers!

Anyway, it worked. After that Trumpsters came swarming out of the sticks to root for him. They knew what he meant.

Yep, two years now, and no quote of Trump calling all Mexicans rapists.

**Evmetro** · 08-09-2019, 05:30 PM

Lefties are afraid of the actual quote of what Trump really did say. The actual quote is something that lefties misquote over and over, so here is what he really did say:

“When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending you. They’re not sending you. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.”

Now, let's have a closer look at this:

In the first sentence, he is talking about people who he alleges that Mexico sends, and he has excluded "Mexico's best" from the people who he is talking about. This first sentence clearly shows that Trump was not commenting on "all" Mexicans, just the people who Mexico sends who are not also not Mexico's best.

Ok, next sentence. "They're not sending you, they're not sending you", sounds like it is open to interpretation, but the one thing we do know is that he is not talking about Mexico's best, or all Mexicans.

The next sentence really narrows things down as far as who he is talking about. "They're sending people who have lots of problems, and they are bringing those problems with us." Here, he has narrowed down who he is talking about to people Mexico sends, who are not Mexico's best, certainly not every Mexican everywhere, and who are bringing problems. His grammar is pretty screwed up with the "us" thing, but it does not appear he is intending on including "us" as who he is talking about.

This next part is not describing who he is talking about, but tells us some of the "problems" of the people who Mexico sends who are bringing problems. "They're bringing drugs, They're bringing crime. They're rapists." Those problems that this isolated group of people who are not Mexico's best, not you, not all Mexicans, and who have problems, do sound pretty bad, so I am sure glad that Trump brought these things up. These things need to be brought up and be handled.

Last sentence: "And some I assume, are good people." It was pretty generous that Trump added this on, considering the kinds of problems that this isolated group of people are bringing. He assumes that some of these people who Mexico sends who are not Mexico's best, not you, not all Mexicans, and who are bringing such problems are actually good people.

Now we know who Trump was talking about:
An isolated group of people who Mexico sends who are not Mexico's best, not you, and who bring lots of problems.

Now we know who he was not talking about:
He was not talking about Mexico's best, or all Mexicans, or you.

I would definitely vet the information.

**Evmetro** · 08-25-2019, 12:55 PM

Still seeing lefties claiming Trump has called Mexicans "rapists", but still no lefty can provide a link to an actual quote of Trump doing this.

Where's the quote?

**Evmetro** · 08-26-2019, 10:11 AM

I guess if nobody has posted an actual quote of Trump saying that Mexicans as a group are rapists, after all these years since he announced his campaign, it probably won't be happening anytime soon.

I hope that when Politifact is used to make a point against Trump, you'll be consistent and accept it.

There isn't one.

Liberals need to twist his words into a racist model in order to accuse Trump of racism. THEY are the racists.

That's her issue to deal with for appealing to them as a source of "fact checking".

As for me, I reject Politifact as a source on sight. They have shown themselves to be nothing more than a propaganda machine for liberals, masquerading as "impartial fact checkers". Most times, their reasoning behind rating a statement a certain way is faulty, incomplete, misguided, or just plain wrong.
