Marco Rubio: “Poisoning The Blood” Isn’t About Race

CBS News reports:

Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, a possible vice presidential pick for former President Donald Trump, defended Trump’s previous remarks on immigrants “poisoning the blood of our country” in a Spanish-language interview Wednesday with Telemundo.

“That’s a saying that he uses, but it has nothing to do with race, because in the end, he’s talking about the country, not the population,” Rubio said. “The country is threatened by this influx of people, which we now know even includes criminals and terrorists.”

During the interview, Rubio also expressed support for Trump’s plans for mass deportations across the country, telling Telemundo “that’s U.S. law.”
