Trump Calls Madison Square Garden Event A 'Lovefest,' Mocks Pro-Nazi Rally Comparisons
HuffPost
"That was love in the room, and it was love for our country," Trump said of his racist rally.
Speaking Tuesday from Mar-a-Lago, Donald Trump praised his recent Madison Square Garden rally ― an event filled with racist rhetoric and messages similar to those at a pro-Nazi rally once held at an earlier iteration of the same venue ― as a “lovefest.”
“The love in that room, it was breathtaking. ... It was like a lovefest, an absolute lovefest, and it was my honor to be involved,” Trump said of his event where he called immigrants “vicious and bloodthirsty criminals” and a comedian onstage referred to Puerto Rico as a “floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean.”
“And I’ll tell you right now,” the GOP presidential nominee continued, “nobody’s ever had love like that. That was love in the room, and it was love for our country.”
“Lovefest” is the same word he once used to describe the deadly Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021 ― an event where his supporters chanted “Hang Mike Pence,” threatened members of Congress and violently assaulted police officers, all in Trump’s name.
Speaking Tuesday, the former president also mocked comparisons of his New York rally to a 1939 pro-Nazi gathering held at a previous version of the venue.
