A Republican Asked Trump To Win Back His Vote. It Did Not Go Well. | EUROtoday

Former President Donald Trump participated in a town-hall-style occasion with undecided Latino voters on Wednesday evening, going through a sequence of powerful questions as Americans have begun casting early ballots throughout the nation.

Ramiro Gonzalez, a Florida Republican, gave Trump an opportunity to “win back” his vote after he mentioned he was disturbed by the previous president’s actions on and after the Jan. 6, 2021, assault on the U.S. Capitol.

“I am a Republican,” Gonzalez, a building employee, advised Trump in the course of the Univision occasion. “I want to give you the opportunity to try and win back my vote. Your action, and maybe inaction, during your presidency and the last few years sort of … was a little disturbing to me. What happened during Jan. 6 and the fact that you waited so long to take action while your supporters were attacking the Capitol.”

He went on to voice considerations that some in Trump’s orbit, specifically his former vice chairman, Mike Pence, now not supported him.

Trump rejected that any notable portion of his supporters had damaged with him after which launched right into a sequence of falsehoods surrounding the Jan. 6 rebel whereas claiming there was “nothing done wrong at all” and “nobody was killed.”

“You had hundreds of thousands of people come to Washington. They didn’t come because of me, they came because of the election,” Trump mentioned, discounting his efforts to inflame his supporters after his loss to Joe Biden. “Some of those people went down to the Capitol — I said, ‘peacefully and patriotically.’ Nothing done wrong. At all. Nothing done wrong.”

The former president then criticized Democrats and mentioned they “couldn’t get me,” as he’d performed nothing mistaken. Trump has, actually, been indicted twice on felony fees associated to his efforts to overturn the 2020 election.

He mentioned Wednesday evening that he believed many individuals remained tremendously loyal to his presidential bid, together with Latinos.

“Maybe we’ll get your vote,” he added to Gonzalez. “Sounds like maybe I won’t, but that’s OK, too.”

The encounter was simply considered one of many powerful questions from undecided voters, lots of whom stood stone-faced as Trump relied on falsehoods and concern frequent at rallies he holds earlier than far more vocal supporters. When one voter requested Trump why he ordered Republicans to tank a bipartisan border deal that may have helped shore up funding alongside the border with Mexico, he refused to reply and as an alternative blamed Democrats for poor administration of American cities.

Another particular person requested Trump if he actually believed the lies that had been unfold about Haitian migrants in Springfield, Ohio, consuming neighbors’ pets.

“This was just reported. I was just saying what was reported,” Trump fired again. “And [they are] eating other things, too, that they’re not supposed to be.”
