Trump said his New York rally, marked by crude and racial slurs, was a “true love fest.”

“We need this person to be our commander in chief,” said Buxo, who cannot vote in the Senate because Puerto Rico is not a state. “He will make us feel safe and protect us.”

Still, there was anger in Allentown. Yvette Figueroa, 61, stood near the rally with a trash can labeled “Trash Trump.”

She said of the insult and Trump: “The person who said it was vetted by him. So this is what he did, which means he must take responsibility for what he said. Now it’s too late to say “sorry.” I don’t want an apology, I want justice, and justice will come on November 5th.”

The fallout from the Madison Square Garden event could highlight voters’ concerns about Trump’s rhetoric and his penchant for controversy in the final stretch as both campaigns battle for votes. Speakers at the rally also made racist comments about Latinos, blacks, Jews and Palestinians, as well as sexist slurs about Trump’s Democratic rival, Vice President Kamala Harris, and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

In an interview with ABC News earlier Tuesday, Trump said he did not know Hinchcliffe but did not condemn his comments.

”I don’t know him. Someone put it there. I don’t know who he is,” Trump said, according to the network, insisting he had not heard Hinchcliffe’s comments. When asked what he thought of them, Trump “did not take the opportunity to condemn them, repeating that he had not heard the comments,” ABC reported.
