President Donald Trump calls out Philadelphia during first debate
'Bad things happen in Philadelphia,' said Trump during the 1st debate against Biden
President Donald Trump called out the City of Brotherly Love during the first presidential debate of 2020 on Tuesday night, saying "Bad things happen in Philadelphia."
The president was responding to a question about election integrity and said falsely that his campaign's poll watchers were improperly turned away at Philadelphia satellite election offices Tuesday.
"In Philadelphia, they went in to watch, they are called poll watchers. A very safe, very nice thing. They were thrown out. They weren't allowed to watch. You know why? Because bad things happen in Philadelphia. Bad things. I am urging my people, I hope it's going to be a fair election. If it's a fair election," said Trump.
