Trump calls New York rally a lovefest despite crude and racist remarks

huffpost.com

Donald Trump described his recent rally in New York, which included crude and racist remarks from speakers, as an “absolute lovefest.” He defended the event despite calls from some allies to apologize for the comments made, particularly a joke about Puerto Rico. Trump's campaign distanced itself from the specific joke made by comedian Tony Hinchcliffe but did not address other offensive remarks. As Election Day approaches, some Republican allies expressed concern that the rally could alienate Puerto Rican voters in key swing states. In a follow-up rally in Allentown, Pennsylvania, Trump received mixed reactions. While some attendees defended him, others expressed anger over the comments made at the New York event, highlighting the potential impact on his support among Latino voters.
