Donald Trump’s campaign condemns speaker at Madison Square Garden rally after Kamala Harris makes play for Puerto Rican voters with days to go before the 5 November election
These are terrible people and if you’re still a Republican at this point, it’s not a deal breaker for you.
Trump doesn’t apologize, admit mistakes, or accept anything resembling accountability. It’s worked in the past because there haven’t been lasting consequences and the more he gets away with shit the lower expectations get.
The problem for him here is that short term consequences now could become long term consequences after election day. If there’s enough outrage to shift a small portion of the vote in a single swing state, that could cost him the election.
Will it actually make a difference? Who knows, but it sure as hell isn’t going to help. While I’d rather he lost by such an unexpectedly large margin that it can’t be blamed on this, I would still laugh if it all comes down to a sudden shift in the Puerto Rican vote in PA.
You know what every media outlet would be clamoring for any other candidate to do in the wake of this?
Make a public statement about it, directly from the candidate, not from ‘campaign lackeys.’
The failure of Trump to make such a statement, while vile, is sadly expected. The failure of anyone to demand it is mind-boggling.
