Fox News host Brian Kilmeade defended former President Trump’s comments over the weekend in which he said immigrants are “poisoning the blood of our country,” remarks that have earned him widespread rebuke.

“He was talking about the border. He was talking about people coming from other countries, coming from prisons. And they wanted to focus on all the Sunday shows, Lawrence, on the word he used, ‘poison,’” Kilmeade said of Trump. “He’s just trying to say we want to keep America, America. We want to build up the border and find out who’s coming in and out. And they tried to say that this language was the problem.”

Kilmeade’s comments on Monday morning were first highlighted by Mediate.

Trump, during a campaign event over the weekend, railed against immigration policies set forth by the Biden administration and claimed millions of people are entering the country illegally and “poisoning the blood of our country.”

    And the apologists are ramping up.

    Didn’t they get their PP slapped hard enough over the dominion suit?

      I don’t know how they can even slightly be supporting Trump with Smartmatic waiting to drain them dry.

        My geuss is that they think sacrificing tucker would have been enough, and that Smartmatic is going to back off now. Which certainly isn’t the case.
