Twitter Mocks Eric Trump for Saying Democrats Who Criticize His Father Are ‘Not Even People’
‘I’ve Never Seen Hatred Like This’ Eric Trump Tells Sean Hannity
Eric Trump, the middle son of President Donald Trump, sat down with Fox News’ Sean Hannity Tuesday night and immediately began attacking Democrats, saying “they’re not even people.” That’s an exceptionally broad assault on the vast majority of Americans. As of Tuesday Gallup says 57 percent of Americans disapprove of Donald Trump’s job performance.
Hannity introduced the segment in his typical fashion, saying “the destroy-Trump media” is “floating baseless Russian conspiracy theories,” which of course is laughable, since all 17 of the U.S. intelligence agencies agree Russia intervened in the election.
“I’ve never seen hatred like this,†Eric Trump told Sean Hannity. “I mean, to me, they’re not even people.â€

“Morality’s just gone, morals have flown out the window,” Trump added, not mentioning the Forbes report out this week that accuses him of funneling money meant for a children’s cancer charity into Trump businesses.
“We deserve so much better than this as a country,†Trump argued. Ironically, most Americans agree, but not in the way he meant.
Eric Trump went on to attack new DNC Chair Tom Perez, whose name apparently escaped him, as a “total whackjob,” and insisted the Democratic Party is message-less and “imploding.”
Twitter took notice of the attacks on the American people by the son of the President of the United States, and let him have it.

Dear Eric Trump,
Democrats are people. But spoiled rich kids who use a charity for children to launder money? Debatable.
Yours,

Let me be clear: I’m not insinuating that Eric Trump is promoting genocide. But dehumanization is the 3rd of 8 stages of genocide. pic.twitter.com/4xoz3OUjrs
