Trump said immigrants are “poisoning the blood” of America. Tommy Tuberville thinks the former president is too soft

Alabama Senator Tommy Tuberville expressed his disappointment on Tuesday that Donald Trump’s comments accusing migrants of “poisoning the blood of our country” weren’t even more xenophobic.

During a rally in New Hampshire on Saturday, Trump told a crowd of supporters that migrants are “poisoning the blood of our country … That’s what they’ve done. They’ve 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.”

While President Joe Biden’s campaign pointed out similarities between Trump’s comments and the writings of Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler, Republicans were quick to excuse the screed. Tuberville took things a step further by complaining to reporters that Trump’s comments weren’t harsh enough.

      The stupidest man in congress.

      At least now that Gohmert is gone.

      And I appreciate you specifying that he’s the stupidest “man” in Congress, because Bobo is truly a special kind of stupid.

        I actually meant the senate anyway. There is a lot of competition if you include the house.

        Gohmert was such a treasure. I mean, he absolutely wasn’t, but still.

          Remember that time they put a mirror on his desk so that he’d peck at that instead of interrupting a hearing by landing on the chairman’s head?
