Trump has been facing backlash after a comic called Puerto Rico "a floating island of garbage" at his Madison Square Garden rally.
"That was love in the room, and it was love for our country," Trump said of his racist rally.
The former president also recalled two words his father told him he should never say.
And that's rejecting the one kind of diversity the Republican thinks he could "get behind".
The former president spelled out what "real strength" means to him and the GOP nominee's version definitely wasn't it.
The chair of Puerto Rico’s Republican Party also said he would not support the former president without an apology over a comedian's insults at a Trump rally.
The vice presidential candidate said he hadn’t heard a comedian's offensive remark about Puerto Rico, which has rocked the Trump campaign.
“Well, we’re not in a war with him,” the Republican vice presidential candidate told NBC’s Meet The Press.
Hinchcliffe made a series of vile comments about Latinos, Jews and Black people during Trump’s rally at Madison Square Garden.
One exchange in particular swiftly made it into social media posts from Kamala Harris' presidential campaign.
