President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump sharpen their attacks on the campaign trail with the first Presidential debate just weeks away and conventions happening in the coming months.

Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., defended the indefensible last week during a Spanish-language interview in which he downplayed Donald Trump’s comments about immigrants’ “poisoning the blood” of the U.S. Trump’s statements were widely condemned for their hatefulness and their resemblance to remarks that Adolf Hitler and his Nazi followers made about Jews during the Holocaust.
