Trump Campaign Team Says Joe Biden Saved Them From Fallout After Racist MSG Rally
HuffPost
Co-manager Chris LaCivita said Trump was "aggravated" over speakers at the event but credited Biden for redirecting the fury.
Donald Trump faced an uproar over racist jokes told at his Madison Square Garden rally before the election ― but President Joe Biden stopped the damage and “saved” the news cycle for Trump, the president-elect’s campaign team claimed in a new interview.
Speakers at the event — which included Tony Hinchcliffe, the comedian who called Puerto Rico a “floating island of garbage” — left Trump “aggravated,” co-campaign manager Chris LaCivita told Politico in an article posted Thursday.
“Unforced error,” chief pollster Tony Fabrizio added. “I mean, obviously we weren’t happy that it happened.”
LaCivita said they planned to put out a one-line statement and “move on” but Fabrizio hinted that the media fury wasn’t letting up. Then three days after the event, Biden appeared to call Trump supporters “garbage” in response to the joke.
“The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters,” Biden said.
