An MSNBC host, a CNN analyst, and a Democratic presidential candidate were among those sharing and commenting on a post that falsely claimed President Donald Trump called asylum seekers “animals,” a cycle of renewed disinformation about a clip from 2018.

Chris Hayes of MSNBC retweeted a video clip of Trump talking about MS-13 gang members. But the clip was edited to make it appear as if he were talking about asylum seekers.
