Trump’s closing rally at #Madison #Square #Garden on the second to last Sunday before the election was a release of #rage at a political and legal system that impeached, indicted and convicted him,
a vivid and at times #racist display of the dark energy animating the #MAGA movement.
A comic kicked off the rally by dismissing Puerto Rico as a “floating island of #garbage,” then mocked
Hispanics as failing to use birth control,
Jews as cheap and
Palestinians as rock-throwers,
and called out a Black man in the audience with a reference to #watermelon.
Another speaker likened Vice President Kamala Harris to a prostitute with “pimp handlers.”
A third called her “the Antichrist.”
And the former Fox News host Tucker Carlson mocked Ms. Harris
— the daughter of an Indian mother and a Jamaican father
— with a made-up ethnicity, saying she was vying to become “the first Samoan-Malaysian, low IQ former California prosecutor ever to be elected president.”
By the time the former president himself took the stage, an event billed as delivering the closing message of his campaign,
with nine days left in a tossup race, had instead become a carnival of #grievances, #misogyny and #racism.
