Trump defends New York rally with crude remarks as a lovefest

Donald Trump defended his recent New York rally, which featured crude and racist remarks, calling it an “absolute lovefest.” He rejected calls from some allies to apologize, instead expressing pride in the event and its atmosphere. Despite backlash, including criticism from Puerto Rican leaders and some Republican allies, Trump continued to downplay the controversy. He distanced himself from a specific speaker's comments but did not denounce them outright. As Trump campaigns in Pennsylvania, where Latino voters are increasingly significant, reactions to his rally vary. Some voters express anger over the remarks, while others, including some Puerto Ricans, found humor in them.
