And before you all freak out over MSM media

It was poor phrasing -- again.
I heard him say it on the full video and knew exactly what he was talking about. I didn't even vote for the guy but acknowledge the media obsession to report with bias. He did not speak poorly in this instance and the media is either too stupid or biased to understand it and report (or not) correctly. The ones reporting this as calling all immigrants animals do not have enough intelligence and/or integrity to do their job. The onus is on them.

It's not like this was the first time Trump used this terminology.

If news reports said that he said ALL immigrants or ALL illegal immigrants were animals, then yes, that would be false. But nothing I saw made that claim. The reality remains that he did say SOME immigrants were animals, and people trying to deny that are the ones lying.

trump responds

'"So when the MS-13 comes in, when the other gang members come into our country, I refer to them as animals," Trump concluded. "And guess what. I always will."

So in other words, you agree that he said what he said, and it's a lie to claim he didn't.

I never claimed he didn't say that criminal gang members were animals. They are animals and he has said he will continue to call them animals.

It's a despicable statement of course, and proves that he has about the same degree of humanity as Nazis but I'm glad we can agree that he did in fact say these despicable words, as the media has been accurately reporting.

It is not a despicable statement, it is an absolutely true statement and the media should report it with integrity and correct context. If they don't then it shows their bias as you are showing yours.
