No, Trump was talking about all non-whites. Trump also has said that Irish and Jews are not white. That's how racist these conservatives are.

And he's also said that Jews (like myself) should be "grateful" for what he did for Israel.
Assuming he actually did anything meaningful for Israel (which I'm not totally convinced of), there's a big problem with this. I'm an American Jew - not an Israeli citizen. Doing something good for Israel doesn't immediately impact me. I guess it gives me a place to flee if the US turns into Nazi Germany, but that's not a really good selling point - especially when Trump is echoing Nazi talking points.
"Hey, be grateful you have someplace to run to when I open the concentration camps" isn't a line that makes me want to vote for a guy.
The whole "we did something to benefit Israel so Jews should be grateful" is an anti-semitic trope and it's insulting when the right uses it. (And it's sad when people like my parents fall for it.)
Another American Jew here. Fuck him for "helping" Israel. The worse Israel's crimes are, the more antisemitism you and I face because people think all Jews are Israelis and all Israelis are Jews.
It's really shitty that he is using your existence as a gross political prop. It is obvious he's feeding the fire on purpose with the "all Jews = Israelis" propaganda, and jfc it feels surreal and ridiculous to even have to say that out loud. I'm sorry this is happening, I don't know if it's of any consolation but there are many who know this is wrong and resist alongside you.
I appreciate it and I know that most people don't feel that way. Unfortunately, there is a minority that do, and worse, there is a very small minority who would be happy to do me harm. But that's true about so many groups in America. We're all "others" even if our families have been here for generations. The American Muslim experience is probably not much different from mine in regard to being treated like a foreigner in your own country.
Wait, they're back to hating the Irish again...?
I'm waiting for the Anti-Catholicism to start from the Protestants, it's coming.
That's how Nazi ideology always goes. The whole thing is based on demonizing some group of "others." Once that group of others has been snuffed out you need to find the next one to keep the hate machine running. I think a lot of extremists who subscribe to Catholicism will be unpleasantly surprised to find out they're not very far down on the list.
He’s just trying to say we want to keep America, America.
A nation of immigrants? Because it doesn't sound like that's what they want.
No, by "America" they mean a democracy that enjoys a peaceful transition of power after the conclusion of a lawful election. Wait, they don't want that either.
It's almost as if MAGA just hates America.
He was talking about the border.
We know. Does he really think this makes what Trump said ok?
And who exactly does he think "America" is? Because I guarantee there was someone here before the Kilmeades or Trumps that would have preferred to stop their dumb-ass families from crossing the border.
He's not trying to foment genocide within our borders. He's trying to foment it outside our borders. Now that we've handled that crisis, how can we ~~extermina~~ ~~eradica~~ outlaw drag queens?
And the apologists are ramping up.
Didn't they get their PP slapped hard enough over the dominion suit?
I don't know how they can even slightly be supporting Trump with Smartmatic waiting to drain them dry.
My geuss is that they think sacrificing tucker would have been enough, and that Smartmatic is going to back off now. Which certainly isn't the case.
"He just wants to keep America, America."
Translation: "He just wants to keep America white with as few black or brown people as possible. But saying that out loud at this point might be a step too far. So he's slowly backing into this while echoing Nazi sentiment. Meanwhile, I - as a FOX 'news' talking head - have to reassure everyone that repeating Nazi lines is totally a normal thing and nothing to worry about."
hates on immigrants.
is the spawn of an immigrant.
meanwhile, the white man been "poisoning" the land for centuries.
Trump doesn't mean white immigrants; he married one of those.
He's also married to an immigrant.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
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.
And they wanted to focus on all the Sunday shows, Lawrence, on the word he used, ‘poison,’” Kilmeade said of Trump.
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.
The original article contains 261 words, the summary contains 196 words. Saved 25%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
I agree with the comments here, but one thing I think it being missed is how this is a campaign fallacy built on a lie to install fear against "The Immigrant". Last time this whole thing about millions of illegals crossing the border was brought up I seem to recall it pointed out that most illegal citizens aren't the stereotype "poors" that are painted in this rhetoric, but are coming via plane and just aren't documented legally.
Fascist Sympathizer defends Fascist, news @ 11.
'Fascist sympathizer' can be conveniently shortened to 'fascist'
This is damage control.
Trump used a Hitler line in a prepared speech. The media pointed out the connection to Hitler. Then he used the exact same line again in another prepared speech.
Now the conservative media machine needs to help guide people on how to wave this away until after the election. What better way to do this than to demonstrate arguments that his supporters can make.
If people try to use these arguments, then ask them if they would have supported Hitler in 1938. If they say no, then ask them why they support someone who is saying the same things today. Don't even give these arguments a shred of daylight.
