Trump campaign is demanding an apology from an unlikely source following the former president’s racist and bigoted rally at Madison Square Garden on Sunday.
The rally was filled with racist and offensive remarks, including comments referring to Puerto Rico as a “floating island of garbage,” “Latinos, love making babies…There’s no pulling out. They don’t do that. They come inside, just like they did to our country,” and comments about Black people carving watermelons, all of which were made by pro-Trump comedian Tony Hinchcliffe.
Other speakers like fired Fox News host Tucker Carlson called Vice President Kamala Harris a “Samoan, Malaysian, low-IQ former California prosecutor.” Businessman Grant Cardone said Harris’ “pimp handlers” will destroy the country. David Rem called Harris “the devil,” and the “antichrist.” Retired professional wrestler Hulk Hogan made a sex joke about Harris. Radio host Sid Rosenberg called former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton a “sick bastard” and a “sick son of a b*tch.”
Trump continued to attack immigrants and vowed to invoke an 18th century law to allow for mass deportations while doubling down on his comments calling his rivals the “enemy within.”
Amid backlash after the rally the Trump campaign is now demanding an apology from Democratic vice presidential nominee Gov. Tim Walz (MN).
“Kamala Harris’ campaign is copying Hillary Clinton’s strategy of attacking half the country. Tim Walz needs to apologize for his disgraceful comments smearing Trump supporters,” a campaign spokesperson said in a statement. “This kind of rhetoric has already inspired assassination attempts.”
The campaign was referring to comments Walz made in Nevada earlier on Sunday comparing Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally to the 1939 Nazi rally that took place in the same venue.
“Donald Trump has this big rally going on in Madison Square Garden,” Walz said. “There’s a direct parallel to a big rally that happened in the 1930s in Madison Square Garden. And don’t think for one second he doesn’t know exactly what they’re doing there.”
