Former President Donald Trump returned to Atlanta on Monday, held his rally at a venue known for his campaign and vowed to defend the “hard-working patriots who built this country,” who he said could “save” the nation if they showed for him at the ballot box.

“We will never give up, we will never back down, we will never surrender,” Trump told the crowd. “November 5 will be the most important day in our country’s history.”

Trump spoke for just over an hour. The raucous crowd had begun to thin out just before the former president finished his remarks.

Trump rebukes Nazi comparisons, calls Harris ‘a fascist’

Trump dismissed claims that he or his supporters were comparable to Nazis.

“I’m not a Nazi. I’m the opposite of a Nazi,” Trump told the crowd gathered at Georgia Tech. “Now the way they’re talking is so disgusting and just horrible.”

After his Sunday night rally at Madison Square Garden drew widespread criticism from opponents for crude and racist comments from several speakers, the event drew comparisons to a 1939 Nazi rally at the same venue.

“My dad – I had a great dad, tough guy. He always used to say, never use the word Nazi. Never use that word.”

He criticized Harris for “using the f-word.” After comments by Trump’s former chief of staff John Kelly that the former president met the definition of a fascist, Harris said she agreed with the assessment.

Trump said of Harris: “She’s a fascist, okay? She’s a fascist.”

Trump lashes out at Michelle Obama

When the former president took the stage at his rally in Atlanta, he quickly took aim at the former first lady.

“You know who’s nasty? Michelle Obama,” Trump said at his rally in Atlanta. “It was a big mistake she made.”

“I always tried to be so nice and respectful,” Trump said, claiming she had “opened up a little bit of something,” without further explanation.

Obama spoke at a political rally with Harris over the weekend. She will lead a rally in Atlanta for her nonpartisan caucus on Tuesday.

Trump is returning to a pivotal spot on the 2024 campaign trail

Trump’s rally in Atlanta on Monday was held at the McCamish Pavilion, across the street from the CNN studios where Trump and President Biden held their campaign defining debate just four months ago.

McCamish housed thousands of credentialed media that night, along with the “spin room” floor where surrogates come to insist their candidate won. The spin room proved to be no contest that night, but after Biden’s whispery, incoherent performance, the 81-year-old highlighted the president’s age and ultimately led him jumps off of the race.

Trump’s top aides were on the McCamish floor that night, crying about what happened on the debate stage and predicting a row over Biden, only to have the Democrats choose instead to nominate the vice president Harris.

Trump praises Christians but dismisses them as not ‘very solid voters’

During the rally, Trump spoke about his experience with faith and fatherhood at the National Faith Advisory Board summit. Speaking about growing up in New York, Trump said he sometimes enjoyed religious ceremonies but largely sidestepped questions about his own faith.

Trump praised conservative Christians as an important part of his administration and said a renewed office of faith would have a direct line into the Oval Office. He also promised to repeal the Johnson Amendment, which bars 501(c)(3) nonprofits from endorsing or opposing political candidates.

“I shouldn’t scold anybody, but Christians are not known to be very solid voters,” Trump told the crowd.

“We have to save religion in this country. No, frankly, religion is under threat,” he warned.

Greene lacks New York history to brag about Trump

Marjorie Taylor Greene, Georgia congresswoman and Trump loyalist, used quite the hyperbole to brag about Trump at the Georgia Tech rally.

After returning from Trump’s rally in New York, she described Trump as “the man who built that city.”

Trump’s first real estate development venture, with his father’s company, came in the 1970s. He opened Trump Tower in 1983. Many of New York City’s signature skyscrapers predate this era, including the Woolworth Building (1913), the Empire State Building (1931), and the World Trade Center (opened in 1973).

Marjorie Taylor Greene pushes back against ‘fascist’ and ‘Nazi’ labels

Conspiracy theorist and US Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene pushes back against Donald Trump’s fiercest critics.

“We’re tired of being called Nazis and fascists,” Greene, R-Ga., said at Trump’s rally on the Georgia Tech campus in Atlanta. “Those are absolute lies, and we won’t take it anymore.” Greene suggested that Trump supporters file a class-action lawsuit against the media and others who have circulated these labels about the former president and his supporters in the 2024 election.

She did not mention that Trump has repeatedly referred to Harris as a “communist” and “fascist.”

She blasted Harris and all Democrats as incompetent, claiming their policies aren’t working “and neither are their stupid vaccines” to fight COVID-19. Greene is among the most vocal anti-vaccine conspiracy theorists.
