Speaking Tuesday from Mar-a-Lago, Donald Trump praised his recent Madison Square Garden rally an event filled with racist rhetoric and messages similar to those at a pro-Nazi rally once held at an earlier iteration of the same venue as a lovefest.

The love in that room, it was breathtaking. ... It was like a lovefest, an absolute lovefest, and it was my honor to be involved, Trump said of his event where he called immigrants vicious and bloodthirsty criminals and a comedian onstage referred to Puerto Rico as a floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean.

And Ill tell you right now, the GOP presidential nominee continued, nobodys ever had love like that. That was love in the room, and it was love for our country.

Lovefest is the same word he once used to describe the deadly Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021 an event where his supporters chanted Hang Mike Pence , threatened members of Congress and violently assaulted police officers, all in Trumps name.
