Donald Trump attacked President Joe Biden for his recent comments that he should be behind bars less than two weeks before the election.
“We need to lock him up,” the 81-year-old president said Tuesday at an event in New Hampshire before correcting himself to say, “we need to lock him up politically.”
The comment sparked outrage among Republicans who say the many criminal cases against Trump are politically motivated by the far left and Biden’s Justice Department.
Trump attacked Biden in front of thousands of his supporters at a rally in Duluth, Georgia, calling it “illegal” and “election interference.”
“He can’t say that,” Trump told his adoring fan base.
“But I already told you that, because it’s election interference, this is all,” he continued. “He said, ‘We have to lock him up.’ This is illegal and should lead to cases.”
Trump was greeted early in his remarks with a new MAGA-esque chant coined by conservative commentator Tucker Carlson: “Daddy’s home.”
Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson compared Donald Trump to a father who is ‘pissed off’ that his children are misbehaving, prompting new rally song: ‘Daddy’s home’
Trump’s team pulled out all the stops at the swing state event on Wednesday with a stacked lineup of guests as the 2024 hopeful made one of his final pleas to Atlanta-area voters with just 13 days to go until election day.
The former president’s crowd quickly embraced a new slogan introduced in pre-programming by noted conservative media personality Tucker Carlson.
The former Fox News host compared Trump to a “pissed off” father who had to win the 2024 election so he could “come home” and “spank” his disobedient children — in this case the Democrats.
“If you allow people to get away with things that are completely over the top and outrageous … you’re going to get more of it,” Carlson said at the meeting co-hosted by the conservative nonprofit Turning Point Action.
Just a few minutes into Trump’s hour-and-a-half speech, the crowd chanted, “Daddy’s house.”
Trump’s campaign has done everything it can to convince voters in swing states to vote for him.
Trump walked onto the stage Wednesday for a light show and a sparkler and an orchestral-sounding version of his intro song God Bless the USA.
Georgia is one of seven swing states that Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris are furiously pursuing during the countdown.
Capturing Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin is essential to winning the White House in 2024.
The outcome in almost every other state is already assumed known based on past election results and more definitive polls.
An absolutely stacked lineup of speakers got the pro-MAGA crowd excited about the former president’s arrival at the Gas South Arena in a suburb about 30 miles from downtown Atlanta.
This included Carlson, as well as Robert F. Kennedy Jr., country music star Jason Aldean, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Democrat turned Republican former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard.
Carlson was by far the most popular comment during the program and received a one-minute standing ovation.
‘If you let your two-year-old smear the contents of his diapers on the wall of your living room and you don’t do anything about it. When you let your 14-year-old light up a joint at the breakfast table. If you allow your hormone-addicted 15-year-old daughter to slam her bedroom door and give you the finger, you’ll get more of it. And those kids are going to end up in rehab,” Carlson said in a confusing rant intended to compare the state of the country under Democrats to the way parents treat their children.

“It’s not good for you and it’s not good for them. No,” the media personality added. ‘There has to be a time when daddy comes home. Yes, that’s right. Dad comes home. And he is angry. Dad is angry. He is not vengeful, he loves his children – no matter how disobedient they are – he loves them. Because they are his children, they live in his house.’
‘But he is very disappointed in their behavior and he will have to let them know. “Right now, go to your room and think about what you’ve done,” he continued.
‘And when daddy comes home, you know what he says? “You’ve been a bad girl. You’ve been a bad girl and now you’re going to get a good spanking. And no, it won’t hurt me more than it will hurt you, no it won’t. I’m not going to lie. It will hurt you much more than it will hurt me. And you deserve this. You’re going to get a good beating for being a bad girl.’
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. made remarks before Trump took the stage at the Turning Point-hosted rally in Duluth, Georgia on Wednesday, October 23, 2024
“And it must be so,” he concluded the riff.
The meeting was co-hosted by Trump’s campaign and Turning Point Action, an organization founded by MAGA world icon Charlie Kirk that focuses on engaging young people in the conservative political movement.
Trump brought out the big guns during his rally to inject more star power into his campaign, while big names such as Barack Obama and rapper Eminem target Vice President Kamala Harris.
Pre-program speakers in Duluth included: RFK Jr., Rep. Greene, Carlson, former Rep. Gabbard, Ben Carson, Peter Navarro, Rep. Mike Collins, conservative commentator Benny Johnson and anti-trans athlete advocate Riley Gaines.
Kirk delivered the final remarks before Trump took the stage at Gas South Arena in Duluth.
The arena has a capacity of 13,100 spectators for sporting events – but a few thousand extra seats were added to the arena floor for the Trumps’ rally.
Only a few dozen seats remained free in the arena in areas that had no view of the stage.
Voters in Georgia have already begun casting their ballots at polling locations across the state. People could vote in person or fill out their ballot at home and drop it off at the same locations.
Early voting started on October 15 and runs until November 1.
The polls will then open again on Tuesday, November 5, before election day.

Many voters in Buckhead, Georgia, told DailyMail.com on Wednesday that they think early voting is an extremely important initiative because it encourages greater involvement in elections.
“Well, for me, I’m on call on Election Day,” said a gynecologist voting at the Buckhead Public Library on Wednesday.
“I was going to be delivering babies at the hospital down the street on election day, so I wouldn’t be able to vote because I have to do my job,” Cantey Doga, 35, added. “So I’m very happy that I can vote early on my day off.”
Kimberly Graham, a tech writer in Atlanta, said, “First, people have to work. You cannot always get out on the designated voting day.’
“So giving us the opportunity to come in when we can, when our schedules allow, I think is beneficial to everyone, giving everyone the opportunity,” the Harris voter added.
