President Trump on Friday weighed in on the migrant caravan heading to the US.
When President Trump was pressed on a claim about migrants, he told a reporter, "don't be a baby."
Trump made the remarks Friday while answering questions about a large migrant caravan heading to the US-Mexico border.
"People are coming over from Honduras, they have like 5,000 people, Honduras and Guatemala, El Salvador, and some of these people are hard criminals, hardened criminals," Trump said during his participation in a roundtable on defense spending.
Subsequently, a reporter asked: "What evidence do you have these are hardened criminals?"
"Oh please, please. Don't be a baby. Take a look," Trump responded. "Look at what's happening. Look at the Mexican soldiers that are laying on the ground. Take a look. These are hardened. I didn't say in all cases, but in many cases these are hardened criminals."
USA Today notes, the caravan consists of thousands of mostly Honduran migrants that are fleeing poverty and violence.
