Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis has firmly defended former President Donald Trump's controversial comment about immigrants 'poisoning the blood of this nation'. Malliotakis highlighted her belief that Trump was not referring to immigrants, but rather Democratic policies, namely the current administration's open border policy.
In order to explain her stance, the Congresswoman alluded to the increase in fentanyl trafficking across the border, relating it directly to the migrant crisis. Malliotakis stressed that it is this increase in drugs coming across the open border that is truly poisoning America—an issue she deems of serious concern.
