Donald Trump's Arnold Palmer comments raise eyebrows
New evidence unsealed in Trump election case
A judge on Friday unsealed more evidence in the criminal case accusing former President Donald Trump of attempting to overturn the 2020 election. Jenn Mascott, an associate professor of law and Director of the Separation of Powers Institute at Catholic Law joined LiveNOW from FOX's Josh Breslow to talk about what's next.
LATROBE, Penn. - Donald Trump’s praise of Arnold Palmer at a rally in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, Saturday night raised more than a few eyebrows when he talked about the late golfer’s genitalia.
Trump was campaigning in the town where Palmer was born in 1929 and learned to golf from his father, who suffered from polio and was head pro and greenskeeper at the local country club.

Politicians saluting Palmer in his hometown is nothing new. But Trump spent 12 full minutes doing so at the top of his speech and even suggested how much more fun the night would be if Palmer, who died in 2016, could join him on stage.

"Arnold Palmer was all man, and I say that in all due respect to women," Trump said. "This is a guy that was all man."
Then he went even further.
"When he took the showers with other pros, they came out of there. They said, ‘Oh my God. That's unbelievable,'" Trump said with a laugh. "I had to say. We have women that are highly sophisticated here, but they used to look at Arnold as a man."

Trump senior adviser Jason Miller told reporters before the speech that Trump planned to preview his closing argument against Vice President Kamala Harris at the rally and "start to get into that framing" with 16 days until the election.
Trump eventually hit many of his favorite campaign themes, but not before spending the first part of the rally fixated on Palmer.
