Former President Trump has repeatedly said undocumented immigrants are "poisoning the blood of our country," language echoing the rhetoric of white supremacists and Adolf Hitler.
Why it matters: The phrase "poisoning the blood of our country" has a deep racist and antisemitic history, and the comments come as some Republicans have openly endorsed the once-fringe and racist "white replacement theory."
Your internet masters have taught you that the way to defend Trump is to parse his words, using the logic if he didn't quote Hitler directly, he's not a Nazi.
That may have worked for you in High School, but we are adults here, and can understand Trump's Nazi messages about poisoning the blood and vermin.
