Megyn Kelly reveals the major problem with Trump’s ‘bro-tastic’ Madison Square Garden rally

Megyn Kelly has revealed the big problem with former President Donald Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally.

The radio host praised Trump for staying on message at Sunday night’s rally in New York City, saying he did a “great job” and admitting she voted for him to hold the nation’s highest office.

But she said “Trump was not well served by the people around him,” amid controversial jokes from comedian Tony Hinchcliffe.

“It wasn’t a Nazi rally, that’s all nonsense,” Kelly said. “But I’m telling you, even for me, and I voted for Donald Trump last week, it was too bro-tastic. OK? That’s it.’

“You’re trying to win an election where you’re disappointing women voters,” she said. “Maybe if you’re presenting to hundreds of thousands of people at Madison Square Garden, you can polish the brothers’ talk a little bit so you don’t alienate women in the middle of America who are already on the fence about the Republicans.

“Don’t they have women advising their campaigns?” Kelly asked.

‘Isn’t there a real woman behind the scenes who comes up with a guest line-up and says, ‘Let’s just talk to the guys who are going to speak about [how] this is not the bar, this is not their living room, this is a campaign.

‘This is politics. We’re trying to get him elected. We don’t need to rally the base or guys anymore and it doesn’t help to rally the base or to completely off-color different racial groups and so on. .”‘

“I understand,” Kelly continued. “Believe me, nothing that was said offended me. I’m almost beyond insult, but I understand how this plays out, especially with women, and it was a damn choice.

“They took what was a great celebration of Trump, exciting and well attended and hugely enthusiastic, and gave themselves a big black eye.

“This isn’t about the crazy media, which of course did what the crazy media is going to do,” Kelly concluded.

“This is about the fact that they’ve given the crazed media all these headlines that have undermined the main man, Donald Trump, who did exactly what he should have done last night.

“You’re lost!” she said.

‘Hopefully you will do better in the final week of the campaign. That’s my opinion.’

Hinchcliffe called the US territory a ‘floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean’

Her comments came as the Trump campaign was doing damage control following Hinchcliffe’s comment about Puerto Rico at the rally.

During his speech — which campaign officials said was not approved in advance — Hinchcliffe called the U.S. territory a “floating island of trash in the middle of the ocean.”

But more than 400,000 Puerto Ricans are estimated to live in battleground Pennsylvania, as Trump critics were quick to point out Sunday night. (Residents of Puerto Rico and other U.S. territories cannot vote in U.S. presidential elections).

On Fox & Friends Monday, spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt claimed it was just “a comedian making a joke in poor taste.”

“It is clear that this joke does not reflect the views of President Trump or our campaign,” she added.

“And I think it’s sad that the media is picking up on one joke made by a comedian, rather than the truths that were shared by the phenomenal list of speakers that we had,” she said, shifting the blame to the media. who Trump called the “enemy of the people” in his own remarks.

“And the audience didn’t mind, right?” Leavitt continued, noting that the crowd was “a diverse group of people.

“The joke went unnoticed, but the crowd was there because they know who President Trump is and they know he wants to be a president for all Americans.”

Senior adviser Danielle Alvarez also claimed, “This joke does not reflect the views of President Trump or the campaign.”

Trump campaign spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt said Hinchcliffe’s jokes do not “reflect the views of President Trump or our campaign.”

Leavitt also defended the overall tone of the meeting.

‘It was happiness and joy. And it was such a diverse group of people in that stadium, packed in front of the house,” she told Fox & Friends.

‘There was no empty seat. You had Black Americans, Latino Americans, Jewish Americans, men and women of all ages coming out to support President Trump and not being afraid to show it.”

But other comments from Hinchcliffe also caused controversy.

“These Latinos also love making babies. Just know that they do,” he said at one point.

‘There is no question of retreating. They don’t. They’re coming in, just like they did to our country.”

“Republicans are the party with a good sense of humor,” he said after that comment.

Republicans rushed to condemn the comments.

Florida Sen. Rick Scott, who is running against former Rep. Debbie Mucarsel-Powell, wrote, “This joke failed for a reason. It’s not funny and it’s not true. Puerto Ricans are great people and great Americans!’

The racist comments at the meeting sparked media opprobrium, with the New York Times headlines about “grievances, misogyny and racism.”
