“Look, we did something that was historic, we saved tens of millions of lives worldwide when we, together, all of us, we got a vaccine done,” Trump said. “This was going to ravage the country far beyond what it is right now, take credit for it… it’s great, what we’ve done is historic. Don’t let them take it away.”
“You’re playing right into their hands” when you doubt the vaccine, Trump added.
While the reception to those comments appeared lukewarm, the crowd cheered when Trump expressed his opposition to vaccine mandates. “If you don’t want to take it, you shouldn’t be forced to take it, no mandates but take credit… don’t let them take that away from you,” he said.
O’Reilly proceeded to tell the audience that “both the president and I are vaxxed.”
“Did you get the booster?” O’Reilly then asked Trump. “Yes,” Trump replied. “I got it too,” O’Reilly added.
The former president was then forced to quieten boos that appeared to come from one side of the arena. “Don’t, don’t, don’t… that’s alright, it’s a very tiny group up there,” he said.
