Megyn Kelly Rips Trump’s ‘Bro-Tastic’ Madison Square Garden Rally: ‘Do They Have No Women Advising Their Campaign?’
Megyn Kelly tore into former President Donald Trump’s Madison Square Garden campaign rally on Monday after the it made headlines over a series of offensive jokes told by speaker Tony Hinchcliffe.
“I watched all of Trump’s remarks, start to finish, and he did a great job,” said Kelly on her SiriusXM show, before adding that “Trump was not well-served by those around him.”
She continued:
It wasn’t a Nazi rally, all that is nonsense. But I am telling you, even for me, and I voted for Donald Trump last week, it was too bro-tastic. Okay? It was. You’re trying to win an election in which you’re hemorrhaging female voters. Maybe when you present in front of hundreds– thousands at least in Madison Square Garden, you clean up the bro talk just a little so you don’t alienate women in the middle of America who are already on the fence about Republicans.
Do they have no women advising their campaign? Is there no actual woman sitting behind the scenes coming up with a guest line-up and saying, “Let’s just have a word with the guys who are going to be speaking about [how] this isn’t the bar, this isn’t 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’s not helpful even if we do want to rally the base or guys to go full off-color, insults to different racial groups, and so on.
I get it. Trust me, nothing that was said offended me. I’m almost unoffendable, but I understand how this plays, especially with women, and it was an f’d-up choice. They talk what was an amazing celebration of Trump, exciting and well-attended and hugely enthusiastic, and gave themselves a big black eye.
Kelly concluded, “This isn’t about the insane media, which did of course what the insane media is gonna do. This is about them giving the insane media all these headlines that undermine the main man, Donald Trump, who did exactly what he should have last night. You f’d up! Hopefully you’ll do better in the closing week of the campaign. That’s my take on it.”
Hinchcliffe – whose speech was reportedly not vetted by the Trump campaign – made a number of offensive jokes at Trump’s rally. During his controversial speech, Hinchcliffe called Puerto Rico a “floating island of garbage,” joked about Black people carving watermelons, and said Latinos “love making babies” so they can “come inside, just like they did to our country.”
