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.”

    He was talking about the border.

    We know. Does he really think this makes what Trump said ok?

    And who exactly does he think “America” is? Because I guarantee there was someone here before the Kilmeades or Trumps that would have preferred to stop their dumb-ass families from crossing the border.

      He’s not trying to foment genocide within our borders. He’s trying to foment it outside our borders. Now that we’ve handled that crisis, how can we extermina eradica outlaw drag queens?
