Why is the Trump campaign panicking after the MSG hate‑rally disaster?

Ben Meiselas 0:00
The Trump campaign is in panic mode at the final stretch of this election following the disastrous event in Madison Square Garden, the hate rally seen around the world, but particularly by undecided voters. The Trump campaign putting out a number of conflicting messages. They have some surrogates who are out there saying, look, Donald Trump's an alpha. And this is what alphas do. How pathetic can you get? You have other Trump surrogates like his chief spokesperson, Caroline Leavitt, saying, look, the audience seemed to be OK with it. Yeah, that's the point. It was a hate rally. And America is not that audience in a hate rally. But then you have on TikTok all of these videos going viral of Puerto Ricans and Latinos who are making these videos of themselves who are out there saying, if you care about this country, you can't vote for this guy.

Video after video. all going viral. I mean, there's tens of thousands of videos that are each accumulating millions of views of Puerto Ricans and other Latinos who are out there just saying this is some horrific stuff and people who are saying that they were undecided now saying that they will not be voting for Donald Trump. Also, You have the endorsements or support of Vice President Kamala Harris by Bad Bunny, Ricky Martin, Jennifer Lopez, who have been posting Donald Trump's hate remarks. So let me just show you what's been going on in the Trump campaign. So here's one of those surrogates, Byron Donald. He's saying that Trump is an alpha and this is what alphas do. They behave like that, he says.
Byron Donalds 1:41
Play this clip. They assume that if you stand on manhood, that you're against women. That is a lie. It's one of the great lies in politics. There's no such thing as toxic masculinity. It's about manhood.

How are Trump surrogates framing the MSG event as an ‘alpha’ moment?

Byron Donalds 1:52
And so they recognize that Donald Trump is an alpha male. He absolutely is. No doubt about it. People like that. They follow it. They need leadership. And I will tell you this. Who do you want at the table with Xi Jinping, Kamala Harris or Donald Trump? Fair question. Fair question.
Ben Meiselas 2:06
How pathetic can you be? That's not how alphas behave. I mean, I just want you to think about this. And I just recently interviewed someone who was like, look, if you were insulted like this to your face, wouldn't you stand up to somebody like Donald Trump? Like he's insulting you, your ancestors and your family over and over again, calling Puerto Rico a garbage can. Donald Trump says America's the garbage can of the world. Donald Trump saying that he's going to have bloody mass deportation exercises. Anyway, here this morning is Donald Trump spokesperson Caroline Leavitt, and she says the crowd didn't even mind. The crowd was okay with what that Kill Tony person was saying about Puerto Rico, Trump's surrogate was saying about Puerto Rico being a garbage can, and also he said that Latinos love having babies and

They come inside and never leave or horrific racist things. Here's what the Trump spokesperson said. Play this clip.
Unknown 3:04
You know, this morning, the mainstream media has picked up on the comics comments, which were offensive, have been denounced by the campaign and everybody else. What what went on with that?
Caroline Leavitt 3:13
Look, it was a comedian who made a joke in poor taste.

What do the viral TikTok videos from Puerto Rican and Latino creators reveal about voter sentiment?

Caroline Leavitt 3:16
Obviously, that joke does not reflect the views of President Trump or our campaign. And I think it is sad that the media will pick up on one joke that was made by a comedian rather than the truths that were shared by the phenomenal list of speakers that we had. We had Congress men and women we had senator jd vance we had dana white friends of the president dan scavino my colleague and friend who shared very intimate moments with president trump when they were in the hospital in butler pennsylvania really showing the truth about president trump and his heart of gold and the crowd they didn't mind right again it was a diverse group of people the joke fell flat but the crowd was there because they know who president trump is and they know he wants to be a president for all americans
