Donald Trump lashed out at President Joe Biden for his recent comments that he should be behind bars less than two weeks before the election.
“We have to lock him up,” the 81-year-old president said at an event in New Hampshire on Tuesday before correcting himself and saying “we have to lock him down politically.”
The comment sparked outrage from Republicans who say the numerous criminal cases against Trump are politically motivated by the far left and Biden’s Justice Department.
Trump lashed out at Biden before thousands of his supporters at a rally in Duluth, Georgia, calling it “illegal” and “election interference.”
“He can’t say that,” Trump told his adoring base of supporters.
“But I’ve been telling you that for… it’s election interference, that’s all it is,” he continued. “He said, ‘We have to lock him up.’ This is illegal and should cause cases.”
Trump was also greeted at the beginning of his remarks with a new MAGA-flavored chant coined by conservative commentator Tucker Carlson: “Daddy’s House.”
Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson compared Donald Trump to a father who is “angry” because his children misbehaved, prompting a new rally cry: “Dad’s home.”
Trump’s team pulled out all the stops at the swing state event Wednesday with a huge lineup of guests as the 2024 hopeful made one of his final pleas to Atlanta-area voters with just 13 days left until Election Day. elections.
The former president’s crowd was quick to embrace a new slogan that was debuted in pre-programming by well-known conservative media personality Tucker Carlson.
The former Fox News host compared Trump to an “angry” father who needed to win the 2024 election so he could “come home” and “spank” his disobedient children, who in this case are Democrats.
“If you let people get away with things that are completely over the top and outrageous… you’re going to get more,” Carlson said at the rally co-sponsored by the conservative nonprofit Turning Point Action.
Just minutes into Trump’s hour-and-a-half-long remarks, the crowd chanted, “Dad’s home.”
Trump’s campaign went to great lengths to persuade voters in swing states to vote for him.
Trump took the stage Wednesday to enjoy a light show, a sparkler welcome and an orchestra-sound version of his intro song God Bless the USA.
Georgia is one of seven swing states that Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris are furiously courting in the countdown.
Winning Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin is essential to winning the White House in 2024.
The outcome in almost every other state is already assumed to be known based on previous election results and more definitive poll numbers.
An absolutely packed lineup of speakers got the pro-MAGA crowd excited about the former president’s arrival at Gas South Arena in a suburb about 30 miles from downtown Atlanta.
This included Carlson, as well as Robert F. Kennedy Jr., country music star Jason Aldean, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and former Democratic-turned-Republican Rep. Tulsi Gabbard.
Carlson was by far the most popular of the pre-show comments and received a minute-long standing ovation.
‘If you allow your two-year-old to smear the contents of his diapers on your living room wall and you don’t do anything about it. If you let your 14 year old son light up a joint at the breakfast table. If you let your hormone-addled 15-year-old daughter like it, close her bedroom door, and point her finger at you, you’ll get more. And those kids are going to end up in rehab,” Carlson said in a confusing rant that sought to compare the state of the country under Democratic rule to the way parents treat their children.
‘It’s not good for you and it’s not good for them. No,” the media personality added. ‘There has to be a time when dad comes home. Yes, that’s right. Dad comes home. And he’s angry. Dad’s angry. He’s not vengeful, he loves his children, no matter how disobedient they are, he loves them. Because they are his children, they live in his house.
“But he is very disappointed with her behavior and will have to let her know.” “Go to your room right now and think about what you did,” he continued.
‘And when dad comes home, do you know what he says? ‘You’ve been a bad girl. You’ve been a bad girl and you’re getting a vigorous beating right now. And no, it’s not going to hurt me more than it hurts you, no, it’s not. I’m not going to lie. It’s going to hurt you a lot more than it hurts me. And you earned it, you are receiving severe spankings because you have been a bad girl.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. delivered remarks before Trump took the stage at the Turning Point-hosted rally in Duluth, Georgia, on Wednesday, October 23, 2024.
“And it has to be that way,” the riff concluded.
The rally was co-organized by the Trump campaign and Turning Point Action, an organization created by global MAGA icon Charlie Kirk that focuses on engaging young people in the conservative political movement.
Trump brought out the big guns at his rally to inject more “star power” into his campaign, as big names like Barack Obama and rapper Eminem opt for Vice President Kamala Harris.
Speakers prior to the program in Duluth included: RFK Jr., Rep. Greene, Carlson, former Rep. Gabbard, Ben Carson, Peter Navarro, Rep. Mike Collins, conservative commentator Benny Johnson, and anti-trans athlete advocate Riley Gaines.
Kirk delivered closing remarks before Trump took the stage at the Gas South Arena in Duluth.
The stadium has a capacity of 13,100 for sporting events, but a few thousand more seats were added to the stadium floor for Trump’s rally.
Only a few dozen seats in the arena were left empty in areas that did not have a view of the stage.
Georgia voters have already begun casting their ballots at early voting locations across the state. People were able to vote in person or fill out their ballots at home and drop them off at the same locations.
Early voting began on October 15 and will run until November 1.
Polls will reopen on Tuesday, November 5 for Election Day.
Many voters in Buckhead, Georgia, told DailyMail.com on Wednesday that they believe early voting is an extremely important initiative because it encourages a higher level of participation in elections.
“Well, in my case, I’m on call on Election Day,” said an OB-GYN who voted at the Buckhead Public Library on Wednesday.
“I would be delivering babies at the hospital down the street on election day, so I wouldn’t be able to vote because I have to do my job,” added Cantey Doga, 35. “That’s why I’m very happy to be able to vote early on my day off.”
Kimberly Graham, a technical writer in Atlanta, said: ‘On the one hand, people have to work. You can’t always leave on the designated day to vote.
“So I think giving us the opportunity to come when we can, when our schedules allow, is a win-win, giving everyone the opportunity,” the Harris voter added.
