Right. But don't need "context" to see @NYTimes' take's inaccurate. You can look @ words of transcript. Trump says "we're taking people out of the country"-i.e. deporting-before "animals." NYT changed that to "those trying to breach the country's borders" https://t.co/7Zi5QGWQuu

Ryan is in "legacy mode." Do non-retiring GOP Reps want him in "legacy mode"? That's like Moe Greene letting Michael Corleone have his legacy and settle the family business. https://t.co/uxO491LffD https://t.co/kjdEj5H7wG

Yes, there is a big difference between calling some especially violent criminals animals and calling all border-crossers animals. Seems obvious. https://t.co/wzT0HsEOkr

The fascination of East Coast reporters with this soul-deadeningly dull, ineffective and unready LA mayor is hard to explain. It can't just be that it's an excuse to take a trip out west. So what is it? (Hope, probably.) https://t.co/67m6gLmsbo

Andrea Mitchell repeats @NYTimes' erroneous report. Trump didn't apply the word to "people trying to get into the country." He applied it to some people he was *deporting," in a discussion involving MS-13. Video and transcript here: https://t.co/t2owcfjgZa https://t.co/AjbCVO6za5

Fine debate to have. But it seems you're admitting that your paper got it wrong when it said Trump applied "animal" to "those trying to breach the country's borders," as opposed to MS-13 … https://t.co/obdTDdQLlR https://t.co/W8tmkdrOLL

.@NYTimes non-truth on Trump "animal" comment reminds me of the 2015 Las Vegas GOP debate–NYT reported Jeb & other candidates had "united against" Trump's Muslim travel bar. That was expected to happen but it was not what happened. https://t.co/uaH6tTXoi8

I thought it was all about the truth. When we go wobbly on the truth we go wobbly on America! What the @NYTimes said Trump said wasn't the truth. Whether that makes him better or worse, if he deserved it or not, it didn't happen. https://t.co/6tjXKypgiA
