Former Trump fixer Michael Cohen didn't hold back when asked by CNN's Jim Acosta how Trump could get away with the Hitler-like comments about immigrants "poisoning the blood of our country" while he's been married to and fathered children with immigrants.

Acosta also brought up the recent poll of Iowa caucus goers, who are apparently just fine with Trump's fascist rhetoric, and Cohen said he's not buying the polls. I would like to hope he's right and wonder who they're reaching out to as well.

ACOSTA: I did want to ask you though, because I think you were talking about Trump supporters earlier, and I wanted to ask you about this before we wrap things up.

Michael, there's this new polling from "The Des Moines Register" -- maybe you saw this -- asking likely caucus-goers in Iowa what they thought of a candidate who said immigrants were poisoning the blood of the country. And 42 percent said it would make them more likely to support that candidate.

I'm wondering -- I mean, do you think Trump's rhetoric could get worse than what we're hearing right now?

And I suppose you probably have stories, Michael, from when Trump would not talk about this out loud so much but he would talk about it casually behind the scenes.

COHEN: Look, first of all, as you know, I don't think much of any of these polls. I don't buy it. All right?

While there's still a group here in America that are racists and that they may like Donald's rhetoric and so on, I do have to believe that Americans are -- as a whole, in totality, do not adhere to this rhetoric or do not appreciate the rhetoric that is coming out of Donald's mouth.

I have to believe that because all of us are immigrants. I mean, my wife is an immigrant. My father's an immigrant.

ACOSTA: We're a nation of immigrants. Absolutely.

COHEN: Donald's mother is an immigrant. Donald's father is an immigrant. For god's sakes, what are we talking about here?

You know, immigrants are what made America and continue to make America the country that it is.

So how is it possible -- 42 percent of these are polled? It is not a good reflection on the American people. And I don't buy the poll --

ACOSTA: And he's married immigrants. Here's the thing, he has married immigrants.

COHEN: Two out of the three. Yes.

ACOSTA: And so how is it he can talk about immigrants poisoning the blood of our country when he has married immigrants and fathered children with them?

COHEN: Because he's an idiot. There's no other way to describe it. He thinks that this violent, divisive rhetoric is doing him good. Remember, the people that are right now surrounding him, they are racists themselves. And they believe and they are feeding Donald this false notion that this sort of rhetoric is going to propel him back to the White House.

Which is the only way that he becomes protected from the Department of Justice and from the multitude of legal issues that are, right now, you know, affecting him and his life and his business.

It was nice to hear someone say that out loud for once, and Trump really should be asked if his own family is "poisoning the blood of our country" as well if there was an actual reporter allowed to get within a mile of him that would to ask it.

We know none of the useless sycophants on Fox or any of the other platforms he agrees to give interviews on are going to bring up the comments at all, much less mention the hypocrisy, and he's avoided all the debates so far with his fellow Republicans, and I'm sure he will continue to avoid them with Biden.

Regardless of whether the racists in his base like this crap, this sort of stuff is going to turn off independents and Republicans who are on the fence with their support of Trump.
