At Donald Trump’s racist, hate-filled Madison Square Garden rally this weekend, the Republican Party got a look at rock bottom, and American voters got a glimpse of the babbling hell that awaits them if Trump wins reelection next week.
The event was ugly, with racist jokes about Puerto Ricans and Black people. It was weird, with appearances by wrestler Hulk Hogan, the now-nearly-destitute Rudy Giuliani and some hack radio host who said of the Democratic Party: “The whole f---ing party, a bunch of degenerates, lowlifes, Jew-haters.”
The rally was an insult to decency, an hours-long freak show fully endorsed by the GOP thanks to an appearance by House Speaker Mike Johnson. It sent shockwaves across the country, drawing condemnation even from Republican lawmakers and earning the Trump campaign headlines like:
“Trump rally speakers lob racist insults, call Puerto Rico ‘island of garbage’”
“Trump at the Garden: A Closing Carnival of Grievances, Misogyny and Racism”
"Trump MSG rally marked by racist tropes and vitriol"
Trump’s massive ego demanded a rally in New York City, even though New York is a reliabily blue state. What the former president got was a self-inflicted October surprise, one that will define him and the entire Republican Party from now until Election Day.
Sunday’s rally started with an alleged comedian, Tony Hinchcliffe, saying: “I don’t know if you guys know this but there’s literally a floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean right now. I think it’s called Puerto Rico.”
He followed up with additional racism: “And these Latinos, they love making babies too. Just know that. They do. They do. There’s no pulling out. They don’t do that." He went on to spin that garbage into a graphic sexual joke.
Hinchcliffe also peddled some lowest-common-denominator racism, talking about Black people “carving watermelons” at Halloween.
Radio host Sid Rosenberg took the stage and called Democrats “degenerates” and “lowlifes,” fund manager Grant Cardone called Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris “fake” and said “her and her pimp handlers will destroy our country.” Loathsome former Fox News commentator Tucker Carlson mocked the fact that Harris is biracial – her mother was Indian and her father is Jamaican – calling her a “Samoan-Malaysian low-IQ former California prosecutor.” Vampiric Trump lackey Stephen Miller ominously decried immigrants, saying: “America is for Americans and Americans only.”
At one point, the Madison Square Garden crowd started mocking Harris’s running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, by chanting “Tampon Tim!”
He called Harris “a low IQ indiviual” and, fully unhinged, said the United States “is now an occupied country.”
He labeled the media “the enemy of the people” and, perhaps scariest of all, talked about having anti-vaccine nutter Robert F. Kennedy Jr. be part of his administration: “I'm gonna let him go wild on health. I'm gonna let him go wild on the food. I'm gonna let him go wild on medicines.”

Trump's Madison Square Garden rally was a festival of hate and conspiracy

Tucker Carlson and Elon Musk and Stephen Miller – yikes
Radio host Sid Rosenberg took the stage and called Democrats “degenerates” and “lowlifes,” fund manager Grant Cardone called Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris “fake” and said “her and her pimp handlers will destroy our country.” Loathsome former Fox News commentator Tucker Carlson mocked the fact that Harris is biracial – her mother was Indian and her father is Jamaican – calling her a “Samoan-Malaysian low-IQ former California prosecutor.” Vampiric Trump lackey Stephen Miller ominously decried immigrants, saying: “America is for Americans and Americans only.”

Trump showed up to MSG and made things even worse
Once Trump took the stage, he continued the insanity, repeating his un-American claims that those who don’t support him are “the enemy from within” and saying: “For the past nine years we have been fighting against the most sinister and corrupt forces on earth.”He called Harris “a low IQ indiviual” and, fully unhinged, said the United States “is now an occupied country.”
He labeled the media “the enemy of the people” and, perhaps scariest of all, talked about having anti-vaccine nutter Robert F. Kennedy Jr. be part of his administration: “I'm gonna let him go wild on health. I'm gonna let him go wild on the food. I'm gonna let him go wild on medicines.”
