Trump: Immigrants “Poison The Blood Of Our Country”

“We got a lot of work to do. They’re poisoning the blood of our country. That’s what they’ve done. They poisoned. Mental institutions and prisons all over the world, not just in South America, not just the three or four countries that we think about, but all over the world. They’re coming into our country from Africa, from Asia, all over the world. They’re pouring into our country. Nobody’s even looking at them. They just come in. The crime is going to be tremendous. The terrorism is going to be…and and we built a tremendous piece of the wall and then we’re going to build more.” – Trump, at last night’s rally in New Hampshire.

Claiming that immigrants are “poisoning the blood of the country” is the literal language of Hitler’s Mein Kampf. Trump and his allies are openly embracing fascism, and it’s time for the media to stop being scared to use that word. https://t.co/rWFr1HpgtQ

Classic Trump: say something crazy outrageous, neo-Nazi-like and it gets headlines, creates outrage.

So wait a little. Then say it again, no one notices, no coverage, and it gets normalized and mainstreamed.

Let’s be clear: migrants ‘poisoning the blood’ is Hitler rhetoric. https://t.co/H3QZtIYbaK
