'Because He's An Idiot': Cohen Rips Trump For Racist 'Poisoning The Blood' Rhetoric

Former Trump fixer Michael Cohen didn't hold back when asked by CNN's Jim Acosta how Trump could get away with the Hitler-like comments about immigrants "poisoning the blood of our country" while he's been married to and fathered children with immigrants.

Acosta also brought up the recent poll of Iowa caucus goers, who are apparently just fine with Trump's fascist rhetoric, and Cohen said he's not buying the polls. I would like to hope he's right and wonder who they're reaching out to as well.

ACOSTA: I did want to ask you though, because I think you were talking about Trump supporters earlier, and I wanted to ask you about this before we wrap things up.

Michael, there's this new polling from "The Des Moines Register" -- maybe you saw this -- asking likely caucus-goers in Iowa what they thought of a candidate who said immigrants were poisoning the blood of the country. And 42 percent said it would make them more likely to support that candidate.

I'm wondering -- I mean, do you think Trump's rhetoric could get worse than what we're hearing right now?
