Trump calls New York rally an absolute lovefest despite backlash over offensive remarks

boston.com

Donald Trump described his recent rally in New York as an "absolute lovefest," despite backlash over crude and racist comments made by speakers. He expressed pride in the event, which included remarks targeting various groups, including Puerto Ricans. Some of Trump's allies have urged him to apologize for the comments, but he has not done so. His campaign distanced itself from one comedian's joke but did not address other offensive remarks made during the rally. As Trump prepares for a rally in Allentown, Pennsylvania, reactions are mixed. While some Puerto Rican voters express anger over the comments, others defend them as humor. The controversy may impact Trump's support among Latino voters in key swing states.
