MAGA Mike Johnson Waves Off Trump's Hitleresque Remark: 'It's Not Hateful'

Adolf Hitler was an evil man, and quoting the dead despot to support a candidacy is a terrible idea. It's just that simple -- unless you're a Republican and can't seem to condemn former President Donald Trump for quoting der Fuhrer when he demeaned immigrants. And Trump has never apologized for that. Instead, he doubled down.

House Speaker Mike Johnson seemed to have issues on Face the Nation with condemning Donald Trump's "poisoning the blood of our country" remark about immigrants. Is it so hard to say that Trump was wrong? It is for Mike Johnson. On an aside, can't they get good hosts on Sunday showsFa anymore? Margaret Brennan failed to mention that the remark Trump made was a Hitler quote. That seems important, IDK.

"When President Trump says immigrants are poisoning the blood of our country, is that a statement you agree with?" Brennan asked Brennan.

"That's not language I would use, but I understand the urgency of President Trump's admonition," Johnson said. "He's been saying this since he ran for president the first time, that we have to secure the border. And I think the vast majority of the American people understand the necessity of that, and I think they agree with his position."

Nice dodge there, Mike.

"But that statement goes beyond what you are personally comfortable with," Brennan said.

"That's not language I would use, but I understand that-" he said.

"It sounds hateful," Brennan said.
