Fox News host Brian Kilmeade defended former President Trump’s comments over the weekend in which he said immigrants are “poisoning the blood of our country,” remarks that have earned him widespread rebuke.
“He was talking about the border. He was talking about people coming from other countries, coming from prisons. And they wanted to focus on all the Sunday shows, Lawrence, on the word he used, ‘poison,’” Kilmeade said of Trump. “He’s just trying to say we want to keep America, America. We want to build up the border and find out who’s coming in and out. And they tried to say that this language was the problem.”
Kilmeade’s comments on Monday morning were first highlighted by Mediate.
Trump, during a campaign event over the weekend, railed against immigration policies set forth by the Biden administration and claimed millions of people are entering the country illegally and “poisoning the blood of our country.”

Critics quickly drew comparisons to Adolf Hitler, who used similar rhetoric with President Biden’s campaign accusing him of “parroting” the infamous dictator.
The former president’s comments come after he was asked directly by Fox News host Sean Hannity if he would act like a dictator himself if he were elected president again, answering “only on day one,” before saying his first goals would be to seal the southern border and ramp up efforts by the U.S. to drill for oil.
Kilmeade said leading Democrats and media figures are trying to make people “fearful” of a second Trump term so they will “hold their nose” and vote for Biden.
