The event, which was aired on Spanish network Univision, had Trump fielding questions from undecided Hispanic voters, like Tampa resident and undecided Republican Ramiro González, who said he wanted to give the MAGA leader a chance to “win back” his vote.
“I want to give you the opportunity to try and win back my vote,” said the 56-year-old construction worker to Trump, “your action and maybe inaction, during your presidency and maybe the last few years, sort of, was a little disturbing to me. What happened during January 6 and the fact that you waited so long to take action while your supporters were attacking the Capitol? Coronavirus — I thought the public was misled during the coronavirus. And I feel many more lives could’ve been saved if we had been informed better.”
González, who was born in New Jersey and claims to be of Cuban descent, also noted that many people from Trump’s administration, including his own Vice President, no longer support him.
“So why would I want to support you?” he asked.
Responding in a jumbled word salad, Trump argued that 97% of his former administration still support him, and stated that those who don’t, just want to “get a little publicity.” He then went on to say that thousands of people came to the Capitol on Jan. 6 because they thought it was a “rigged” election, and that “”Ashli Babbitt was killed, nobody was killed,” but overall it was a ‘”day of love.”
As you can see in the clip, it doesn’t appear that González, or others in the audience, were impressed by Trump’s answer.
