“A lot of people have called violent anybodys animals,” Todd said during an appearance on “Bernie & Sid in the Morning” on WABC Radio.

“Anybody who is a violent criminal in my book can get called an animal if they’re sitting there mauling, killing and raping people. I don’t care where they’re from,” he added.

Todd weighed in on media coverage of Trump’s remark from a roundtable discussion earlier this week, where the president was responding to a California official asking about MS-13 gang members.
