Dr. Phil McGraw appeared at Donald Trump‘s Madison Square Garden rally, telling the crowd that the former president was “tough as an old Army boot” and pushing back on the idea that he is a bully.
McGraw had interviewed Trump earlier this year for his network Merit Street Media, when the former daytime host said that he doesn’t endorse candidates but sided with the former president’s claims that his prosecutions were rigged.
At today’s rally, McGraw said that he was “not here just to stand up for Donald J. Trump. Lord knows, he doesn’t need me to stand up for him. He’s tough as an old army boot. He’s got lots of enemies, different groups that are scared, and between them, they have impeached him, indicted him, raided him, railroaded him, shot him and sued him. And where is he? He is still standing.”
McGraw said that he “can be honest and say I don’t like or agree with everything that Donald J. Trump does or says.”
“No human is perfect. We don’t strive for perfection. We strive for excellence,” he said.
McGraw spent much of his remarks claiming that Trump supporters are being bullied and silenced, telling the crowd, “When you attack a citizen, and you use the power of the Internet, you use mob mentality, you incite people to gang up and cause boycotts, then it is beyond ugly. And that is what is happening in this country right now, and that is not OK.”
He added, “There is an imbalance of power there, and it is time that every one of us close ranks. We have to stop this now. It’s time that we push back against cancel culture. It’s time that we push back against intimidation tactics.”
