NBC News reporter Dasha Burns recently faced a tough crowd while covering Trump’s rally in the deep-blue Bronx, New York. Several Black and Latino Trump supporters completely shut her down when she tried to confront them on the former president’s “racist” rhetoric. Burns stated on MSNBC on Friday that the Black and Latino supporters she spoke to at the rally had entirely bought into Trump’s policies, irrespective of his past “racist” and “bigoted” remarks. She added that these voters were so focused on their lives and tangible benefits that they promptly shut down any comments that challenged their views.
Burns was struck by the fact that many of the people she spoke to were immigrants with views aligned to Trump’s strict immigration policies, including mass deportations. She said that most of the immigrants, including those born and raised in the Bronx, agree with Trump’s position on immigration, citing that they entered the county legally and resent that the city is currently caring for illegal immigrants, rather than addressing their needs.
Among the rally attendees were Black and Latino voters who were tired of excessive gas and grocery prices and frustrated with the border situation. Burns spoke to a few of them, who praised Trump’s policies and criticized Biden for disrespecting New York citizens. When Burns pushed back with some of Trump’s controversial verbal attacks, such as racism and bigotry, the Trump supporters stated they had no issue with such rhetoric and prioritized Trump’s tangible contributions to their community.
Bronx resident: “Donald Trump already showed me that he understands our problems. He understands what the country needs. He has the heart to do it…Joe Biden and ‘Bidenomics’ or whatever they’ve been saying all these years–they do nothing but talk.” pic.twitter.com/QrY4FYcl9h

Elon Musk Called This Financial News 'Terrifying'
Burns’ encounters with minority Trump supporters at the rally reveal that these voters are not solely concerned about the former president’s alleged racist remarks compared to his policies. They believe that his anti-illegal immigration and economic policies provide tangible benefits to their communities, and they support him regardless of any past controversial comments.

Who will not be attending any more Trump rallies?
Survey says, “Dasha Burns”.
“She said that most of the immigrants, including those born and raised in the Bronx….” Since when is someone who was born in the Bronx (US) an immigrant?
It’s interesting to me to see and hear what the people in the Bronx are actually saying …
Trump’s policies and values are better than Biden or Bidenomics …
What they AREN’T saying is the years of lying that the media and our government officials have done to brainwash them all to hate and despise the only man that can save them …
The only man that stands in their way to total and complete dominance and destruction of mankind … They are all World Economic Forum bought and paid for puppets …
And it’s a real shame that so many cannot get out of that created matrix they have been jammed into …
Just think about it for a second …
Someone who knows about the Deep State, and knows the bang up
job Trump did for those first 2 years in office for EVERYONE …
And now, they are domestic terrorists for believing in him?
Tell me how that makes sense …
Peace in the Middle East too!
Trump has been a contrubutor to black causes for decades. This woman is working for the Democrat Propaganda Machine and she is too stupid to realize it. You’re part of the problem nitwit.
