You know that the Democrats are worried when the party that wants to take God out of everything suddenly starts praying.
Former President Trump held a massive rally in, of all places, South Bronx, New York, on Thursday, and it had New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez calling on the heavens in despair.
The Bronx native retweeted a post on X on Thursday which predicted that Crotona Park, where the rally was held, would be a āmuddy MESS tonight for the Trump rally.ā
āGod is good,ā Ocasio-Cortez wrote, adding a praying hands emoji.
TurnsĀ out,Ā not only was Ocasio-Cortez taking theĀ LordāsĀ name in vain, but she turned out to beĀ completelyĀ wrong about the muddy mess.
Pictures and videos reveal that the skies cleared up and the rally at Crotona Park drew several thousand supporters, with attendees lining up in the overflow spaces just for a glimpse of the former president.
(According to the New York Postās law enforcement sources, 8,000 to 10,000 people attended the rally.)
WARNING: The following post contains language that some readers may find disturbing.
āWeāreĀ going to bring safety back to our streets.Ā WeāreĀ going to bring success back to our schools. Weāre going to bring prosperity back to every neighborhood in every borough of the greatest city in our land. Weāre going to reduce taxes. Weāre going to bring businesses and big taxpayers back to New York,ā Trump told the crowd, per CBS News.
The outlet also noted that Trump said his policies would particularly benefit black and Hispanic communities, stating,Ā āThe biggest negative impact is against our Black population and against our Hispanic population who are losing their jobs, losing their housing, losing everything they can lose.ā
Former New York State Senator and Democrat turned Trump-supporter Reverend RubĆ©n DĆaz was called up on stage with Trump during the rally, and he had a few words about Ocasio-Cortezās āprophecy.ā
āIĀ want to tell AOCā¦.āĀ DiazĀ said,Ā as the crowds erupted into boos at the sound of her name.Ā āThis morning she intended to become a prophet and she said,Ā āeven GodĀ doesnātĀ want Trump in the Bronx becauseĀ itāsĀ going to rain.'ā
āMadam prophet AOC,āĀ DiazĀ said,Ā mockingly,Ā āYou have become a false prophet. Look at what a beautiful day.ā
āThat means,āĀ he added,Ā ānot only you guys want Trump in the Bronx, because if we are going to measure it up the weather, then I would say humbly, that even God want in the Bronx.ā
Ocasion-Cortez also told Spectrum News on Thursday that Trump was trying toĀ ātrickāĀ Bronx residents but that they knew better.
āThis is an attempt, I think, to trick some of our folks here, but I think the Bronx knows better,ā she said, according to videos captured by Mediaite.
But many Trump supporters at the rally had some unfavorable things to say about the Congresswoman.
āYou need to tell her that she need to stay out of the Bronx,ā one supporter said, while many others remarked that AOC has ādone nothing for the Bronx.ā
Even CNN had to admit that not only was the rally in the Bronx a success, but that ā unlike some other rallies where people come from all over the country to see Trump ā the attendees of this rally were mostly residents of the deep, deep blue New York borough.
Bronx residents expressed their excitement at having Trump come to their borough, one resident remarking that while other presidents have come to more affluent parts of the Bronx, Trump ācame to Morrisania, South Bronx ā the hoodĀ hood. So, I respect that.ā
The success of the Trump rally in deep blueNew York proves that the stark difference between the country under Trump versus under Biden is having a deep impact even in the bluest cities.
Ocasio-Cortez grossly miscalculated the anger and frustration many Bronx residents are feeling over the economy and the focus on illegal immigrants rather than New Yorkers themselves.
The tide is turning all over the country, and as Ocasio-Cortez has seen, praying for your opponentās failure is not the best way to turn it back.
