Donald Trump News: ‘Back home to mommy…’: Trump’s message to hecklers at Coachella rally
At a rally in Coachella, California, Donald Trump addressed hecklers in a heated exchange, suggesting that one of them would later “get the hell knocked out of her.” Trump mockingly said, “Back home to mommy, she goes. Was that you, darling? And she gets the hell knocked out of her. Her mother’s a big fan of ours, you know that, right? Her father too.” This happened as the heckler was escorted out of the rally in a predominantly Democratic state.
CNN highlighted Trump’s increasingly hostile rhetoric during the final stretch of his campaign. Daniel Lippman, a Politico White House reporter, noted that Trump’s language mirrors some of the violent remarks from his 2016 campaign, such as urging the removal of protesters on stretchers. “He feels trapped by the criminal cases against him, and if he loses, he may face prison time. His speeches have taken a darker tone as a result,” Lippman explained on CNN.
During the rally, Trump fiercely criticized the Biden-Harris administration, portraying the U.S. as being under occupation. “We’ve got people taking over parts of Colorado and other states. Some states don’t want to admit it because they’re embarrassed… It’s no different than if we lost a war,” he remarked.
Referring to California as “Paradise Lost,” Trump warned, “We’re not going to let Kamala Harris do to America what she did to California.” Despite his bold statements, it remains unlikely that Trump will gain significant support in California, a heavily Democratic state. His stop in Coachella, a city best known for its iconic music festival, did little to change this.
The rally capped off a week of controversies for Trump, during which he falsely claimed to have visited Gaza, suggested CBS should lose its broadcast license, spread misinformation about Biden’s hurricane relief efforts, called Sunny Hostin from “The View” a “dummy,” and insulted the city of Detroit in a separate speech.
