Trump’s allies are attempting to soften his words after he channeled Hitler while attacking immigrants over the weekend
On Saturday, Trump addressed a crowd of supporters in Durham, New Hampshire.
Trump: They’re poisoning the blood of country.. They poison mental institutions and prisons all over the world not just in South America… but all over the world they’re coming into our country from Africa, from Asia pic.twitter.com/fv38EABo1a

His ravings echoed the words of genocidal Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler, who repeatedly compared Jewish people to a blood poison within German society. In his manifesto Mein Kampf, the dictator wrote that “all great cultures of the past perished only because the originally creative race died out from blood poisoning,” and blamed Jews and other “undesirable” groups for said contamination.
Despite the clear retaliatory implications of Trump’s statement — because a blood poison cannot be left untreated — his Republican sycophants quickly fell in line to excuse the former president’s statements.
