Far-left figures on MSNBC and Democratic politicians in New York lashed out at Donald Trump's campaign rally in the Bronx this week, claiming it was 'fake.'
New York Democrats and liberal media figures attacked President Trump for holding a campaign rally in the Bronx, New York, on Thursday, and tried to discredit the rally before it even began. The New York Post reported that 8,000-10,000 supporters showed up at Crotona Park in the Bronx on Thursday, far more than the initial 3,500 the Trump campaign said were expected to attend. The crowd size even surprised a CNN reporter on site at the event. However, progressive Democrats, from New York Gov.
Hochul didn't mince words when asked about Trump campaigning in the deep-blue borough to woo Black and Latino voters. 'Well, I’ll tell you what won’t make a difference at all, Jake, and that’s for Donald Trump to be a ringleader and invite all his clowns to a place like the Bronx,' she told CNN's Jake Tapper as the former president's supporters were gathering. 'New York will never, ever support Donald Trump for president.
Ocasio-Cortez, a fellow New York Democrat, dismissed the Trump rally as a stunt to pay his legal fees. 'He is broke. He needs to pay these legal funds. And bussing people in, in order to get those donations so that he can funnel them to his legal fees, is kind of his business right now,' she told MSNBC's Chris Hayes on Wednesday. Ocasio-Cortez doubled down on Thursday, accusing Trump of sending in supporters from outside states to 'trick' her constituents.
Liberal MSNBC host Alex Wagner also tried to discredit the rally on her Thursday night show. She quoted Rep. Ritchie Torres, D-N.Y., who described the rally as full of 'transplants' before she slammed it as a 'fakey campaign stop.' 'Sort of a weird way to court Black and Latino voters, but also, if you are Donald Trump, I get it,' Wagner said sarcastically. Her guest, Center for American Progress President Patrick Gaspard, also called the rally a 'fraud.
