Former President Donald Trump defended his comments on immigration, while his critics accused him of using Hitlerian language for saying illegal immigrants are “poisoning the blood of our country” during his recent campaign rally.

In an interview with conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt on Dec. 22, President Trump was asked whether he was aware that Hitler used the phrase to mean that “Jewish blood cannot be part of German blood.”
