KRISTIN WELKER: I want to ask you- you talk about moral clarity and I want to ask you about something that former President Trump recently said. He referred to migrants as, quote, “poisoning the blood of our country”. This is language that the Biden campaign, others, says quote, “is parroting Adolf Hitler”. Are you comfortable with former President Trump's comments?

U.S. REP. ELISE STEFANIK: Well, yet again, we have the media which is so biased, which is reiterating whatever the talking points the Biden campaign is giving. Let me be clear… 

WELKER: I'm just giving you the opportunity to respond. I'm just giving you the opportunity to respond. 

STEFANIK: Our border crisis…our border crisis is poisoning Americans through fentanyl. It is poisoning people, including in my district, who are dying from overdoses of fentanyl. And you know why? Because of Joe Biden's wide open border that- executive actions he took on day one. So yes, I stand by President Trump. And President Trump also has… 

WELKER: And his words? And his words? 

STEFANIK: Yes. And the strong- he has the strongest record when it comes to supporting the Jewish people and supporting the state of Israel. Whether you look at the historic Abraham Accords, or whether you look at the ability for Jewish students to sue and stand up for equal treatment at schools under the Title VI executive order that President Trump put into place, not Joe Biden.
