Included in the lineup of powerful speakers at Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally on Sunday was popular television personality Phil McGraw, better known as Dr. Phil.
McGraw, 74, is the host of the daytime television program, Dr. Phil.
“I’m 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. He just keeps on because he loves this country, too,” McGraw said.
McGraw said that he doesn’t “ like or agree with everything that Donald J. Trump does or says” and noted that “no human is perfect.” He said rather than striving for “perfection,” we should strive for “excellence.”
“But you don’t have to love everything about someone in order to love them,” he added.
McGraw focused the majority of his speech at the Trump rally on the bullying tactics of the left, and noted that many people are afraid to speak out in support of Trump.
“I’m here to talk to and stand up for the people who have declared their support for Donald J. Trump, or they got found out, or they want to do it but they’re too intimidated” he announced.
“You know what happens when somebody in this country says ‘hey I’m going to vote Republican, I’m going to vote Donald J. Trump?’ They get cancelled, intimidated, marginalized, excluded, or even boycotted … In short that adds up to being bullied,” he said.
McGraw noted that leftist celebrities such as Beyonce, George Clooney, Robert De Niro and Lizzo don’t receive any backlash from the media for endorsing Kamala Harris, but added, “watch what happens tomorrow morning when people find out I came here to talk to you.”
“You say this in Hollywood and all of a sudden, you ain’t got a job. Problem is I don’t need one!” he declared.
Below is one key clip from his speech:
This is Oprah’s worst nightmare. She didn’t realize Dr. Phil
wasn’t just another puppet. He had the integrity to walk away from the legacy media and represent the authenticity Americans need today. Listen to this at Madison Square Garden last night.
