John Legend

John Legend took his hate for President Donald Trump to another level when he defended MS-13 gang members on Twitter.com. Legend took to Twitter to slam Trump from the hospital where his wife, Chrissy Teigen, gave birth to their son.

The pop singer was furious that Trump referred to violent MS-13 gang members as “animals”.

Trump made the remarks during a White House meeting, where a California sheriff expressed her dismay that California is a “sanctuary state.”

Referring to the MS-13 gang members, who use machetes to chop up their victims in American cities, Trump replied: “You wouldn’t believe how bad these people are. These aren’t people. These are animals.”

But John Legend objected to Trump’s use of the word “animals” to describe the violent gang members.

In a bizarre series of tweet that sounded like a script from Saturday Night Live, Legend wrote:

“Even human beings who commit heinous acts are the same species as us, not ‘animals.’ I’m in the hospital with our new son. Any of these babies here could end up committing terrible crimes in the future. It’s easy, once they’ve done so, to distance ourselves from their humanity.”

Laughably, Legend added that violent criminals were once babies, too, and they shouldn’t be dehumanized.

“It’s much more honest and challenging to realize they were all babies once and think about what in society, their home life, etc took them from baby to violent gang member[s]. And then to think about collective action we could take to mitigate these conditions.”

He then blamed American policy for making MS-13 the formidable gang it is now.

“And we should particularly interrogate the role of American policy in helping to make MS-13 the organization it is now.”

But he didn’t stop there. He added: “Dehumanising [sic] large groups of people is the demagogue’s precursor to visiting violence and pain upon them. It makes it easier to destroy their families and much worse.”

Legend’s ridiculous tweets attracted widespread criticism and anger from social media users, with one accusing him of comparing violent gang members to “innocent children”.

“No, I’m saying some innocent children grow up to be gang members. do you dispute this obvious fact?” Legend shot back.

And when another joked that the MS-13 gang members were “fine people”, John replied: “Nope. But they’re human. Nazis were humans. KKK members human. The people who do the absolute worst things are still human. Calling them animals may make us feel better. Doesn’t make it true.”

Legend’s mentions are in shambles as his followers object strenuously to the pop singer apparently sympathizing with KKK members and nazis.
