Today’s quote comes to us from Dasha Burns, a news reporter for NBC and MSNBC.
Ms. Burns attended Thursday’s Trump rally in the South Bronx and interviewed a number of people there.
Afterwards, this is what she reported to MSNBC show host Ana Cabrera:
“Well, this might sound a little counterintuitive, but I did talk to folks in that crowd who themselves were immigrants, a lot of folks from the Dominican Republic. A lot of the people that I talked to were born and raised in the Bronx. For some of them, this was their first-ever Trump event.
“When you talk to immigrants going to these Trump rallies, they agree with his message on immigration. Their point is, ‘I did it the right way, I came here legally,’ and especially those living in New York right now, the sentiment I heard from a lot of voters, was, you know, ‘We have these immigrants right now that the city is taking care of in a way I’ve never felt taken care of by this city’.”
“It was a large crowd and a diverse crowd. Yes, there were people from Westchester and New Jersey, but there were a lot of people there from the Bronx, Black and Latino voters that are sick of how much they’re paying for gas and groceries, that are frustrated with the situation at the border, and that find President Biden’s rhetoric when it comes to minority voters a little bit offensive.”
Wow. That was on MSNBC? I hope they had smelling salts available for Cabrera and her staff.
The obvious gist of Ms. Burns’ report is that whatever you think of Donald Trump and whatever you think of (these are my opinions) his huge ego and propensity for wild exaggerations, these people feel that what he did as President made more sense and made their lives better. By contrast, Joe Biden has made their lives worse.
I award Dasha Burns Quote Of The Day honors for stating this so plainly on MSNBC. I hope she still has a job there.
