Senator JD Vance defended former President Donald Trump’s recent comments, stating that Trump’s reference to “poisoning the blood” was directed at illegal immigrants, not immigrants as a whole.
Vance criticized the press for being more focused on Trump’s criticism rather than on President Joe Biden, who he claims is causing the immigration problem.
When a reporter compared Trump’s language to that of Adolf Hitler, Vance pushed back, stating that the comparison was absurd and urged the press to do better journalism. (Trending: Judge Announces Historic Ruling In Jeffrey Epstein Case)
“I’ve been asked this question a number of times, and here’s my view on these comments,” said Vance.
“First of all, he didn’t say immigrants were poisoning the blood of this country,” he contended.
Highlighting, “He said illegal immigrants were poisoning the blood of the country, which is objectively and obviously true to anybody who looks at the statistics about fentanyl overdoses.”
“And I think just one observation about the press as an organization, you guys seem far more upset about the guy who criticized the problem than you do about Joe Biden who’s causing this problem,” he continued.
After the reporter asked the senator about World War II, Vance said, “The idea that I am well aware, you just framed your question implicitly assuming that Donald Trump is talking about Adolf Hitler.”
It’s absurd. It is absurd,” charged Vance.
“Why do you think that Donald Trump’s language is targeted at the blood of the immigrants and not at the blood of the American citizens who are being poisoned by the fentanyl problem?” asked Vance.
“I think this is ridiculous,” he continued.
“If you watch the speech in context and you look at what’s going on, it is obvious that he was talking about the very clear fact that the blood of Americans is being poisoned by a drug epidemic,” explained Vance.
“To take that comment and then to immediately assume that he’s talking about immigrants as Adolf Hitler talked about Jews is preposterous.”
Adding, “You guys need to wake up and actually do some journalism.”
