GOP Has No Excuses For Trump's 'Poisoning The Blood' Remark

Just after Donald Trump used the fascist term "vermin," the former President told a crowd in New Hampshire that immigrants are "poisoning the blood of our country." He's telling us who he is, but Republicans aren't listening. Most people would be disgusted by anyone who invoked Hitler's incendiary and dangerous words, but Trump supporters continue to give their guy a pass. On an aside, Elise Stefanik seems to have remained quiet on this issue.

Republican Rep. Nicole Malliotakis probably should have stayed silent during her interview with CNN's Abby Philip.

"Look, I'll start off by simply asking, is Trump right that immigrants are poisoning the blood of this country?" Philip asked.

Here's the part where once again, another Republican covers for their guy by saying that he didn't mean what he said. He meant something else entirely.

"Well, I don't think that's what he was saying," she insisted. "When he said they are poisoning, I think he was talking about the Democratic policies. I think he was talking about the open border policy. And if you look at what my mayor, our mayor here in New York City, is saying, that this migrant crisis is destroying New York City, I think it's pretty much the same thing."
