Former President Trump's use of the term 'blood poisoning' in his recent rhetoric has drawn strong reactions from various political figures. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis expressed confusion over the comments, while Congresswoman Elise Stefanik did not respond to requests for comment. Senate Republicans and Democratic lawmakers have criticized Trump's remarks, with some likening them to Adolf Hitler's language in 'Mein Kampf.' The lack of condemnation from Republicans for what is perceived as antisemitic rhetoric has also sparked concern.
Last weekend, Former President Trump peddled the highly dangerous, antisemitic "blood poisoning" conspiracy from Hitler’s Mein Kampf. I’m alarmed by the lack of condemnation from Republicans for the obvious antisemitism spewed by their party's leader.

It is unsurprising, yet no less appallingly disappointing, to see Congresswoman Stefanik remain silent when the leader of her party, Donald Trump, is despicably echoing the words of Adolf Hitler. We must call out antisemitism wherever we see it. https://t.co/x2XKIeXlBt

"Stefanik did not return multiple requests for comment from POLITICO yesterday about her reaction to the former president’s Hitlerian turn of phrase. We thought she was perhaps just too busy ... But ... [s]he was at Mar-a-Lago meeting with Trump." https://t.co/JwGYG2dhgf https://t.co/VwERyXhiy4

Any GOP elected official who does not LOUDLY condemn Trump's repeated quoting of Adolph Hitler is telling you they agree with Trump. I'm especially looking at GOP Rep Elise Stefanik who has REFUSED to comment despite being asked by many media outlets.

#veepstakes Stefanik did not return repeated requests for comment, however, about Trump's weekend rhetoric — which echoed Adolf Hitler's use of the term "blood poisoning" in his manifesto "Mein Kampf," where he criticized the mixing of races. https://t.co/qYNhz5rkuY
