Senate Republicans on Monday recoiled at former President Trump’s comments at a rally in New Hampshire over the weekend, where he said the thousands of immigrants streaming into the United States on a daily basis are “poisoning the blood of our country.”

They also balked at Trump quoting Russian President Vladimir Putin’s criticism of the American political system as a defense against the 91 felony counts he is facing in Washington, D.C., Miami and New York.

“I think it’s unhelpful rhetoric,” said Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.), a member of Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell’s (Ky.) leadership team, when asked about Trump’s claim that immigrants are “poisoning” the country.

Sen. Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.), another member of the Senate GOP leadership team, said, “Obviously, I don’t agree with that.”

“We’re all children of immigrants,” she said. “It’s just part of his campaign rhetoric, I guess. I don’t know, I can’t explain it.”

When you have immigrant with no intent to assimilate, whatever race they may be matters not at all; it is their philosophy that is ‘poisoning the blood’ of this country.

The Pearl-Clutching Hill is so fekking racist they cannot NOT see this through anything other than a strictly racial lens, and — predictably — GOP caves to that pressure and equivocates.

The uni-party is doing their best to sabotage DJT.

McConnell sycophants, in all of their pitiful glory.

That Republican party is long dead.

It’s MAGA now Baby.

Roll MAGA, roll!

The Senate is a snake pit. Take a look what is gathered on our border at Eagle Pass.

We don’t need this and we need to out these sick bastards in the Senate.

Guess they don’t understand that is part of what many of us like about Trump. States his position in clear and unequivocal terms.

And on this issue he is correct. The massive, unfiltered, unvetted illegal invasion will have serious consequences on our country and social structure.

“poisoning the blood of our country.”

I guess none of these out-of-touch Senators has heard anything about the hundreds of tons of fentanyl coming over the border with the invaders.

“We’re all children of immigrants,” she said."

I don't know about you lady, but I'm the child of legal immigrants, not illegal immigrants. There's a big difference.

Recoiling is what they do best.

Minnesota flag = Somalian

Senate Republican flag = All white

All? Speak for yourself. I'm a grandchild and a great-grandchild of LEGAL immigrants.
