Did Donald Trump earn Ramiro Gonzalez's vote back?
- Seems like it, yes!
- Not this time.
Ramiro Gonzalez explained to the 2024 Republican presidential candidate at the Wednesday, Oct. 16 Univision event that he's a Republican, but no longer registered: "I want to give you the opportunity to try to win back my vote," he said.
Cuban-born Gonzalez, who now lives in Florida, told Trump that his "action and maybe inaction" during his presidency and last few years has been "disturbing."
"What happened during January 6 the fact that, you know, you waited so long to take action while your supporters were attacking the Capitol. Coronavirus — I thought the public was misled during coronavirus and that many more lives could have been saved if we would have been informed better.
"And also people in your administration who don’t support you. I’m curious how people so close to you and your administration no longer want to support you, so why would I want to support you? If you would answer these questions for me, I would really appreciate it and give you the opportunity. Your own vice president doesn’t want to support you now."
You can watch Trump's response in a clip shared on X by Oliver Alexander, a self-described analyst who calls Gonzalez the "best journalist in America."
Trump says:
"So uh, the people that don’t support, very small portion. We have a tremendous about 97% of the people in the administration support me, but because it’s me, somebody doesn’t support they get a little publicity. The vice president, I disagree with him on what he did. I totally disagreed with him on what he did. Very importantly, you had hundreds of thousands of people come to Washington. They didn’t come because of me. They came because of the election, they thought the election was a rigged election and that’s why they came. Some of those people went down to the Capitol. I said ‘peacefully and patriotically.’ Nothing done wrong at all. Nothing done wrong. And action was taken. Strong action. Ashli Babbitt was killed. Nobody was killed. There were no guns down there. We didn’t have guns. The others had guns, but we didn’t have guns. And when I say we, these are people that walk down... this was a tiny percentage of the overall, which nobody sees and nobody shows.
"But that was a day of love. From the standpoint of the millions, it’s like hundreds of thousands. It could have been the largest group I’ve ever spoken before. They asked me to speak. I went and I spoke, and I used the term ‘peacefully and patriotically.’ If you look at the Democrats what they say, you look at Maxine Waters, and you look at Hillary Clinton, and you look at what they say, and they don’t put that on. They only put Republicans on. But they couldn’t get me because of the fact that I said, everything’s got to be ‘peaceful and patriotic.'
"And we’ll see how it all works out, but I think that we’re going to we’re right now in another election. All I want is honest elections, I’m willing to take any chance I want honest election."
