Fox News host Jesse Watters looks at the implications of former President Trump's campaign event in the Bronx, New York Thursday on "Jesse Watters Primetime."

NEW YORK GOV. KATHY HOCHUL CALLS TRUMP SUPPORTERS ‘CLOWNS’ IN HER OWN 'BASKET OF DEPLORABLES' MOMENT

JESSE WATTERS: Love was in the air. Donald Trump, speaking for over an hour, addressing the economy, the border, foreign policy and, of course, Joe Biden.

Not everybody was happy that Trump was on their turf. Reverend Al Sharpton, happy DEI Thursday by the way, was ready for a street fight.

Donald Trump's been running his mouth his whole life, nonstop, and they can't find a single thing he said that's racist. They have to go back to the 80s to find Central Park 5. Here's Trump in the 80s, by the way. Black America wanted to be Trump before Black America had even heard the name Joe Biden. 

Politics has always been personal. Personality's persuasive, but nothing persuades like results. Traditional Democrat constituencies; young Black, Hispanic voters are not better off than they were four years ago. And they're coming around to a man who represents a movement they were told not to trust. But every bone in their body tells them that they can't trust the party bosses. Sick of their corny commands and broken promises, people in the Bronx and all over America are beginning to think for themselves independently outside of a system that's trapped and scolded them for opening their mouths and eyes.

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul appeared to call Trump supporters "clowns" on Thursday during a media appearance ahead of the former president’s New York City rally in the Bronx. 

"Well, I’ll tell you what won’t make a difference at all, Jake, and that’s for Donald Trump to be a ringleader and invite all his clowns to a place like the Bronx," ochul told CNN’s Jake Tapper.

She continued, "New York will never, ever support Donald Trump for president. We know him better than anyone and that means we understand what he’s all about. He’s just for himself. So, this state will go solidly behind Joe Biden for president as it has in the past. So, if he wants to spend his time doing these made-up, fake rallies and pretending there’s support here, be my guest, because while you’re doing that, Donald Trump, Joe Biden’s out there on the other side making sure he’s delivering for all Americans." 

In response to Hochul's comments, the Trump campaign told Fox News Digital: "Kathy Hocul is just upset that President Trump is pulling crowds in her state that she could only dream of; and Democrats are in disarray because Americans, including Hispanics and Blacks, are waking up to the fact that Joe Biden and the Democrat Party have been using them for votes and ripping them off for decades."

TRUMP VOWS TO ‘SAVE’ DEEP-BLUE NEW YORK CITY IN MASSIVE, HISTORIC BRONX RALLY

Trump, who has been in the state recently for his hush money trial, has said he thinks he has a good chance of winning the state in November despite the fact that it hasn’t voted Republican since 1984. 

A recent Siena College poll showed President Biden with just a nine-point lead over Trump (47% to 38%) in the state. Biden won the state handily in 2020 with 60.8%. 

Two years ago, Hochul also raised the ire of Republicans when she told GOP candidates in the state to "get out of town" and "head to Florida" where they belong.

"We're here to say that the era of Trump and Zeldin and Molinaro — just jump on a bus and head down to Florida where you belong. Get out of town," Hochul said in 2022. "You don't represent our values."

The comments reminded some of Former Secretary of State and Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton's infamous "basket of deplorables" comments from a New York fundraiser in 2016.

"You know, to just be grossly generalistic, you could put half of Trump’s supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables. Right?" Clinton said at the time. "The racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic — you name it. And unfortunately, there are people like that. And he has lifted them up."
