They’re the bottom dwellers that skulk around in the comments section of articles on Breitbart and Yahoo news. That is how they communicated in the unearthed Facebook group.

Think about that. The worst of the deplorables - and that’s being generous - are the ones in charge of the migrants locked in cages. They’re in charge of protecting children who they refer to a “knocks”.

The whole lot of them must be fired and new, highly-vetted employees hired to take their places. The ones who have committed crimes must be tried in court so justice can be served.
