BRETT SAMUELS , The Hill; Trump calls Madison Square Garden rally a ‘love fest’
"Former President Trump on Tuesday described a Madison Square Garden rally that was marked by racist and sexist comments as a “love fest.”
“There was love in the room. The love in that room was breathtaking,” Trump said in remarks from his Mar-a-Lago estate.
“It was like a love fest. An absolute love fest,” he added, scoffing at critics who likened the rally to a 1939 Nazi event at the arena.
Trump did not address the backlash to comments made by other speakers at the New York City rally, including comedian Tony Hinchcliffe, whose joke comparing Puerto Rico to a “floating island of garbage” has caused a firestorm, including with some Latino voters."
