Dr. Phil Spoke At Trump Rally Because Harris Ignored Him

Dr. Phil McGraw came under fire a few weeks ago after he railed against diversity, equity and inclusion during a speech at Donald Trump s Madison Square Garden rally and now hes telling Piers Morgan he only spoke at the event because Kamala Harris campaign ignored him.

That was an act of rebellion on my part, McGraw told Morgan in an interview released Tuesday. I requested 25-plus times to speak to Kamala Harris. I offered to give the identical speech at a Harris rally.

McGraw said he would have happily crossed off Trumps name and replaced it with Harris had he been given the opportunity to speak in front of her supporters.

However, its presumable it wouldnt have gone over well, especially considering how McGraw criticized DEI initiatives during his MSG speech, saying that America was built on hard work and not on DEI.

The TV personality also insisted to Morgan that his speech didnt mean he endorsed Trump, despite the fact that speaking at a political rally for a candidate running for office is, in most peoples eyes, the very definition of an endorsement.

McGraw also dubiously claimed that a day after he spoke at the Trump rally, a Harris staffer got in contact about possibly speaking at one of her rallies.

I said right back, Absolutely, tell me when and where to be, and I will bring a transcript of the speech and give it at a Harris rally, he recalled telling the staffer. And she answered accordingly crickets. Never heard another word once they found out I was serious.

HuffPost reached out to the Harris campaign for comment, but no one immediately responded.

You can see McGraw and Morgan discuss the MSG speech below.
