Former President Donald Trump is defending his rally at Madison Square Garden in New York that was criticized for hate-filled and racist rhetoric. "The love in that room was breathtaking ... politicians that have been doing this for a long time, 30 and 40 years, said that there's never been an event so beautiful. It was like a lovefest," Trump said from his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida on Tuesday.
About 20,000 thousand people attended the event, enthusiastically showing their support for Trump. However, much of their support was overshadowed by speakers who made crude remarks.
"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. Yeah, I think it's called Puerto Rico," Comedian Tony Hinchcliffe joked at the beginning of the rally.
The comment quickly went viral, especially among those in the Puerto Rican community. Several influential Puerto Rican celebrities, including Bad Bunny, Jennifer Lopez, and Ricky Martin, expressed their support for Kamala Harris following the comment.

Next week we show you what a real love fest is when we move the country forward; free of hate and intolerance; and propel Mr. Jack Smith towards his final mission: seeing to it that you are brought to swift justice and complete irrelevancy.

Kamala Harris is going to cram that shit down his throat and up his fat ass later tonight. Bank on it, Turd-Traitor!

(4,389 posts)they were all adoration and love towards him, and that all that matters to him. To anyone with a lick of sense, they saw it as what it was... a hate rally akin to the 1939 nazi party rally. Too bad there's not a person courageous enough to sit him down and explain the difference to him.
