President Trump referred to members of an international criminal gang as "animals." That sparked a debate about whether it's appropriate to use language that dehumanizes; the president has previously referred to Mexican immigrants as "rapists," while conceding that some might begoodpeople.

- Kit Miller, director of the Gandhi Institute for Nonviolence
- Paul Ciminelli, attorney with Ciminelli & Ciminelli
