Former Pussycat Dolls member, Kaya Jones, has come under fire for her ‘racist’ comment likening innocent immigrant children to child soldiers of the MS-13 gang. 

‘These look like soldiers to me MS13 soldiers,’ Jones tweeted in the caption of a photo initially shared by Stormy Daniels’ lawyer, Michael Avenatti. 

‘But the left will have you believe they are babies being ripped from their mothers arms. Babies don’t have facial hair!’ she added, though none of the boys have facial hair in the photo she shared. 

Avenatti posted the heartbreaking photo of the teens at the McAllen Miller International Airport on Wednesday. 

‘Here is a pic I just took at the McAllen airport of seven young boys of detained parents being transported out of the area by handlers via AA flt 5772 to DFW,’ he wrote.

‘Who knows where they are going from there. Sending children 1000 miles away from their parents is a disgrace. #Outraged,’ Avenatti added.

The next morning, Jones shared the photo along with her comment, which drew backlash from several Twitter users.

‘*brown teenage boys sitting in a group* hmm yes looks like violent gang members to me you’re really just not even trying to hide the racism now huh,’ one user tweeted. 

Another user wrote: ‘Stereotype much? Or do you know the source of the photo and the true story of those captured in it? I’m all for ridding MS13, but not for judging people from afar. #maga’

Comedienne and Brooklyn Nine Nine actress, Chelsea Peretti, tweeted: T’ake Jesus name out of your bio u animal.’

Jones later denied that she was judging the children and said: ‘Why are their arms covered ? I’m trying to understand in a whole. I get judged for being a former pussycat doll. I’m not judging but making an assessment nothing more or less.’

But nonetheless, the ‘snowflakes’, as Jones called them, kept mercilessly mocking her on social media.  

‘Yes, I’ve heard that MS-13 is known for sitting quietly in airport lounges,’ historian, Kevin Kruse tweeted.  

‘Yep. Sitting down. Pieces of paper in hand. Watching TV. All classic MS-13 stuff,’ another wrote.

‘Their face tattoos and machetes are the real giveaway,’ another said. 

Others called Jones out judging the teens, especially when she has ‘Jesus 1st’ in her Twitter bio. 

‘This is a pretty un-‘”Jesus 1st” tweet,’ one person said. 

Another shared a gif of Whoopi Goldberg with the caption: ‘your bio says Jesus 1st…Jesus said not to judge.’ 

Jones, who was a member of the Pussycat Dolls until she left the group in 2004, later tweeted: ‘You snowflakes are so easily triggered. Remember you guys aren’t sure which bathroom to use well us God loving Americans have 8 trillion bullets pick your battles there guys.’

Last year, Jones made headlines when she claimed the girl group was a ‘prostitution ring’.

‘I wasn’t in a girl group. I was in a prostitution ring. Oh & we happened to sing & be famous. While everyone who owned us made the $,’ Jones tweeted. 

Jones went on to add that to be part of ‘the team you must be a team player. Meaning sleep with whoever they say’.

The claims were vehemently denied by the Dolls. 

‘The Pussycat Dolls has always and will always stand for female empowerment and sisterhood. We stand in solidarity with all women who have bravely spoken publicly of their horrific experiences of abuse, harassment and exploitation,’ their statement read.

‘However, we cannot stand behind false allegations towards other group members partaking in activities that simply did not take place.’

The notorious MS-13 gang that Jones referred to in her tweet is a transnational gang that has committed horrendous acts of violence across America. 

President Donald Trump, whom Jones is a vocal supporter of, said in May that he ‘is committed to protecting communities from the violent animals of MS-13’.

The gang’s motto is ‘mata, viola, controla’ which means ‘kill, rape, control’.

There are more than 10,000 MS-13 members in the US and more than 30,000 worldwide. 

Long Island communities have been strongly impacted by the violence and suffering spread by MS-13.

Police suspect the gang was involved in at least 25 killings on Long Island between 2016 and 2018.
