New US Citizen Thanks Pres. Trump for His Action on COVID; His Response to Her Was Perfect
Posted at 3:13 am on September 16, 2020 by Becca Lower
On Tuesday night, President Donald Trump took part in a town hall event produced by ABC News’ “20/20†program called “The President and the People,†which featured undecided voters from across the commonwealth of Pennsylvania asking the president questions.
Towards the end of the 90-minute special, a young woman rose from the audience to ask her question — and the way Pres. Trump answered her destroys any narrative the Left could conjure that calls him uncaring or a racist.
Host George Stephanopoulos introduced her this way: “The next one comes Flora [sic] Cruceta. She’s from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. She has not voted before because she just became a citizen.†Before Flor could begin, Pres. Trump praised her becoming a citizen, with “Oh, very good.â€
But several times while asking her question, Flor was forced to stop speaking — because she was sobbing so hard.
She started, “Thank you so much. Hi, Mr. President and Mr. George. My name is Flora [sic] Cruceta . I’m sorry if I can’t hold my…hold my tears…†She began to sob here.
A second time, the President noted her new citizenship, “I love…I love what you just did.â€
She continued, “I came in 2006 with my mom from Dominican Republic…sorry.†Her sobbing became heavier at the mention of her mother.
Pres. Trump’s response was heartfelt and compassionate. “That’s all right. And just take your time, that’s fine.†He turned towards Stephanopoulos, “George has plenty of time, I hope, right?†The host agreed that he did. The President then asked Flor if she said her mom had had COVID, but gets no response.
