Sen. J.D. Vance (R-Ohio) pushed back against the idea that former President Donald Trump’s recent comments about illegal immigration constitute racism.

Mr. Vance spoke out in defense of the likely 2024 Republican presidential nominee by offering an alternate opinion to his colleagues about the meaning of the former president’s comments about illegal immigration “poisoning the blood” of our nation.
