Rep. Ritchie Torres, D-N.Y., said Sunday that while he is tempted to call comedian Tony Hinchcliffe “racist garbage” over his joke about Puerto Rico being a “floating island of garbage,” doing so would “be an insult to garbage.”

The joke from Hinchcliffe, also known as Kill Tony, was made at former President Trump’s
rally at Madison Square Garden on Sunday.

“Tony Hinchcliffe, who is one of the speakers at Donald Trump’s rally at MSG, felt the need to hurl a racist insult at the people of Puerto Rico: ‘there’s literally a floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean right now. I think it’s called Puerto Rico,'” Torres wrote on the social media platform X.

“As a Puerto Rican, I am tempted to call Hinchcliffe racist garbage but doing so would be an insult to garbage,” he continued.

Torres said when Latinos go to vote, they should “never forget the racism that Donald Trump seems all too willing to platform.”

Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar, R-Fla., said Sunday that comedian Tony Hinchcliffe’s joke about Puerto Rico being a “floating island of garbage” is “racist” and “does not reflect GOP values.”

“Disgusted by @TonyHinchcliffe’s racist comment calling Puerto Rico a ‘floating island of garbage.’ This rhetoric does not reflect GOP values,” she wrote on the social media platform X.

“Puerto Rico sent 48,000+ soldiers to Vietnam, with over 345 Purple Hearts awarded. This bravery deserves respect,” she continued.

The congresswoman concluded: “Educate yourself!”

Hinchcliffe, also known as Kill Tony, made the joke Sunday at former President Trump’s rally at Madison Square Garden.

Former President Trump’s campaign said comedian Tony Hinchcliffe’s joke about Puerto Rico being a “floating island of garbage” does not reflect the views of the former president.

“This joke does not reflect the views of President Trump or the campaign,” Trump senior adviser Danielle Alvarez said in a statement.

The joke from Hinchcliffe, also known as Kill Tony, at Trump’s rally at Madison Square Garden on Sunday drew criticism from Democrats and some Republicans, including Florida GOP Sen. Rick Scott and Florida GOP Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar.

“There’s a lot going on. Like, I don’t know if you 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,” Hinchcliffe said, prompting mixed reactions from the crowd.

Hinchcliffe also said Latinos “love making babies.”

“They do. There’s no pulling out. They don’t do that. They come inside. Just like they did to our country,” he said.

Former President Trump cracked up his supporters at New York City’s Madison Square Garden Sunday by making fun of Vice President Harris’ alleged trouble ad-libbing speeches.

The Republican presidential candidate took a moment to ask the crowd of nearly 20,000 people if it was nice to have a president who “doesn’t need a teleprompter.”

Trump claimed he hasn’t used a teleprompter for a “long time,” but then took a moment to poke fun at a moment when Harris got stuck speaking when her teleprompter malfunctioned.

“One thing you have to know is that no matter how good your people are that operate this machinery, it’s going to break and you’re going to be out there all by yourself a lot, and you got to be able to do so,” Trump said. “Three weeks ago, she was saying there was only 32 days left.

“And she’s reading it like, ‘there’s 32 days,’ and it’s stopped. And she went, ‘there’s 32 days, 32, 32,’ and I was watching. I said, ‘this isn’t pretty.’

Eventually, Trump said, the teleprompter kicked back in. Still, he added, “she was gone.”

Center for American Liberty CEO Harmeet Dhillon weighed in on a joke that ruffled feathers at a Trump rally in Madison Square Garden on Sunday.

Comedian Tony Hinchcliffe made the off-color joke during his opening remarks at the rally.

“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,” Hinchcliffe said.

Democrats and left-wing pundits immediately seized on the joke as racist and in poor taste.

“Sorry I could not be at the rally,” Dhillon wrote on X. “But I’m getting an earful from my Republican friends and relatives who live in Puerto Rico! (who am I to judge garbage jokes, living in San Francisco).”

MSNBC on Sunday compared a pro-Trump rally in Madison Square Garden to a pro-Nazi rally held at the famous venue in the late 1930s – despite a diverse list of speakers.

Just after 5 p.m. the liberal outlet included in its lower third the headline: “BREAKING NEWS: TRUMP’S MSG RALLY COMES 85 YEARS AFTER PRO-NAZI RALLY AT FAMED ARENA.”

The outlet echoed the same tired talking point of other Democrats
, including former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Vice President Kamala Harris, and Vice President candidate Tim Walz who have all evoked “Nazis” in response to Sunday night’s rally at Madison Square Garden.

The infamous Nazi rally took place at the arena in 1939. The event was organized by the pro-Nazi German American Bund and was attended by thousands in the lead-up to World War II.

Former President Trump
, while speaking at the rally at Madison Square Garden in New York City, called for the death penalty to be imposed on any migrant who kills an American citizen or law enforcement official.

An estimated 20,000 people packed into the famed arena above Penn Station in the Big Apple on Sunday, as Trump outlined his agenda to make America great again.

One of the big topics, which he said was bigger than the economy, was illegal immigration. Trump accused Vice President Harris of violating her oath over the past four years and eradicating the southern boarder, unleashing an army of migrant gangs who are waging a campaign of violence and terror against U.S. citizens.

“The day I take the oath of office, the migrant invasion of our country ends and the restoration of our country begins,” Trump said. “One of the deadliest and most vicious migrant gangs that Kamala has imported into our country is the savage Venezuelan prison gang.”

Trump sarcastically described the Tren de Aragua as a “nice group of people,” who got together in the worst prison in the world.

Not only have they taken over apartment complexes in Aurora, Colorado, but Trump said they are also taking over Times Square.

“On day one, I will launch the largest deportation program in American history, and to get the criminals out, I will rescue every city and town that has been invaded and conquered, and we will put these vicious and bloodthirsty criminals in jail and then kick them the hell out of our country as fast as possible,” Trump said. “If they come back into our country, it’s an automatic ten years in jail with no possibility of parole. And I’m hereby calling for the death penalty for any migrant that kills an American citizen or a law enforcement officer.

Comedian Tony Hinchcliffe faced a swift backlash Sunday after making a joke about Puerto Rico during opening remarks at a rally for former President Trump at Madison Square Garden.

Hinchcliffe, host of the podcast “Kill Tony,” launched into his off-color joke during opening remarks at the rally.

“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,” Hinchcliffe said.

The joke was immediately seized upon as racist.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., whose family is Puerto Rican, said the joke was supposedly indicative of how the right thinks about poor people.

“And I need people to understand that when they when you have some a-hole calling Puerto Rico floating garbage, know that that’s what they think about you,” she said during a livestream with presidential candidate Tim Walz. “That is, like, that’s just what they think about you. It’s what they think about anyone who makes less money than them.”

Hinchcliffe later defended himself, saying his critics “have no sense of humor.”

“Wild that a vice presidential candidate would take time out of his ‘busy schedule’ to analyze a joke taken out of context to make it seem racist. I love Puerto Rico and vacation there. I made fun of everyone…watch the whole set. I’m a comedian Tim…might be time to change your tampon,” Hinchcliffe wrote on X, taking a jab at Walz, who was criticized for signing a law to add tampons to boys’ restrooms in schools. 

Former President Trump has taken the stage inside a packed Madison Square Garden in New York City.

After being introduced by his wife Melania Trump, musician Lee Greenwood sang, “God Bless the USA,” and Donald Trump walked onto the stage.

“I just want to say a very big hello to a special place, New York and to an incredible arena, Madison Square Garden. Incredible,” Trump said.

He asked the crowd to be excited about the future of America again and to dream big.

“This will be America’s new golden age. It’s going to happen quickly,” he said. “Every problem facing us can be solved. But now the fate of our nation is in your hands. Next Tuesday, you have to stand up and you have to tell Kamala Harris that you’ve done a terrible job, that crooked Joe Biden has done a terrible job. You’ve destroyed our country. We’re not going to take it anymore, Kamala. You’re fired. Get out, get out! You’re fired.”

Former first lady Melania Trump made a surprise appearance to support her husband, former President Trump, at Madison Square Garden.

Trump spoke about New York City, her husband’s hometown.

“For generations, this town has produced America, its most fearless leaders whose mark change the course of the world. New York City and America needs their magic back,” she said.

“Envision a wonderful America where the seeds of security, prosperity, and health are so and once again for the benefit of our families,” she added before introducing Trump. “Let us start together with a shared vision that builds on American greatness. Let’s seize this moment and create a country for tomorrow, the future that we deserve. And now.” 

Trump transition co-chair Howard Lutnick, who is also the CEO of Cantor Fitzgerald, said during the Trump rally at Madison Square Garden in New York City that former President Trump has to be elected back into office so the U.S. can “crush Jihad.”

Lutnick shared his story, saying his company was located on the 101st floor of the 105-floor World Trade Center when terrorists crashed an airplane into the building on Sept. 11, 2001.

He said he was not in the skyscraper that day because he was taking his son to his first day of kindergarten. Sadly, Lutnick lost 658 of his friends and colleagues out of the 960 who worked in New York City that day.

As a result of the devastation that day, Lutnick and his colleagues rebuilt the company and took care of the families of those who lost loved ones. Each employee, he said, took 25% of their salaries and gave it to the families they lost.

“That’s what New Yorkers do,” he said. “And we gave those families $180 million. So, the first thing we must do is elect Donald J. Trump because we must crush Jihad.”

Tesla CEO Elon Musk unveils his new goth MAGA look during his appearance at a Trump rally in Madison Square Garden.

“As you can see, I’m not just MAGA. I’m dark gothic MAGA,” Musk, decked out in all black, tells the crowd. “The energy in this room is incredible.”

The billionaire rails against wasteful taxation, telling the crowd: “Your money is being wasted, and the Department of Government Efficiency is going to fix that. We’re going to get the government off your back and out of your pocketbook.”

He adds: “The future is going to be amazing.”

Donald Trump Jr. tells the crowd at Madison Square Garden Sunday evening that his father, former President Trump, is the “real ‘badass” for coming back defiant after an assassination attempt that nearly claimed his life.

“Everyone’s a tough guy on the keyboard, on the internet. You know, everyone’s a bada–,” Trump Jr. tells the crowd. “But when you get shot in the face and you come back defiant, ready to fight, that’s a bada–. That’s the guy. That’s the guy that can fix the problems that we have. That’s the guy that’s going to keep our enemies in check. That’s a guy that’s going to fight for each and every one of you. He’s done it once. Let’s send him back to Washington, DC with an over whelming mandate to fix the nonsense once and for all.” 

Donald Trump Jr., criticized Democrats over inflation, saying he felt the pinch on a family trip to McDonald’s.

“Last summer, I was coming back from a fishing trip with two of my boys, and we went to McDonald’s and it was $48 for a 10-year-old, a 14-year-old, and me,” Trump Jr. told supporters of his father at Madison Square Garden. “And guys, let me tell you, if Donald Trump Jr. had sticker shock at McDonald’s, we have a serious problem.”

“It does not have to be this way, guys. We can change it,” he added.

Like many fast-food chains, McDonald’s has raised prices amid inflation, angering customers. In September, the chain extended its $5 value meal deal at most locations in the U.S.

Under the deal, customers can pick one of two sandwich options — a McDouble or a McChicken — plus small fries, four-piece McNuggets and a small soda.

Vice presidential candidate Sen. JD Vance, R-Ohio, tells the crowd at Madison Square Garden he feels bad for his Democratic opponent, Tim Walz, because he has to convince the American people that Kamala Harris will be a good president.

“We ought to spare a prayer for Governor Tim Walz because he’s got the hardest job in American politics,” Vance says. “Our friend Tim Walz has got to convince the American people that Kamala Harris is going to somehow fix the very problems she’s been creating over the last three and a half years.”

He continues: “He’s got to pretend that Kamala Harris didn’t open up the southern border and let millions of illegal aliens in, even though we know she did. He’s got to pretend that Kamala Harris didn’t cast the deciding vote on trillions of dollars of new spending, which created the worst affordability crisis in 40 years in this country. And he’s got to pretend that Kamala Harris actually has ideas in her head for how to govern the United States of America.”

Republican vice presidential candidate Sen. JD Vance, R-Ohio, said his favorite “Kamala Harris Moment” is when she’s asked how she will make life better for struggling Americans.

“My favorite Kamala Harris moment is that when somebody asks her for specifics on how she’ll make life more affordable or groceries cheaper, she’ll say, ‘well, I grew up in a middle class family,’” Vance told supporters in Madison Square Garden on Sunday.

Harris has been repeatedly criticized for pivoting to her middle-class roots when asked about the economy and inflation.

“You didn’t actually tell the American people how you’re going to fix what you broke,” Vance said.

Television personality and former clinical psychologist Dr. Phil McGraw tells the crowd at Madison Square Garden Sunday evening he’s standing up for people who are too afraid to support former President Trump publicly.

“So, why am I here? Well, I’ll tell you why I’m here. I’m here to talk to and stand up for the people who have declared their support for Donald J. Trump or they got found out or they want to do it, but they’re too intimidated,” McGraw tells the crowd. “Because, you know what happens when somebody in this country says, ‘hey, I’m going to vote Republican. I’m gonna vote down Donald J. Trump,’ They get canceled, intimidated, marginalized, excluded, or even fired or boycotted. And you know what that means. In short, that adds up to being bullied.”

McGraw says there is a double standard for people who publicly support Vice President Kamala Harris.

Pro wrestling legend Hulk Hogan and his 24-inch pythons returned to Madison Square Garden in New York City for the Trump rally on Sunday to hype up the thousands upon thousands of Trump supporters in attendance.

Hogan, whose real name is Terry Bollea, reminded attendees that when he’s usually in Madison Square Garden, he is “body slamming giants, winning world heavyweight titles” and “cracking people over the heads with steel chairs.”

“Today, Trump-a-maniacs, the energy in here is something like I’ve never felt,” he said. “The energy of all these Trump-a-maniacs is the most powerful force in the universe, and today, this is Donald Trump’s house, brother.”

The Hulkster said when he hears Vice President Harris speak, it sounds like a script from Hollywood from a “really, really bad actress,” adding she is also responsible for the border crisis and inflation.

He called Harris out for flip flopping on issues, spinning and turning issues around and acting like the hero.

“We all know Trump is the only man that can fix this country today,” Hogan said. “Whacha gonna do, and who’s gonna make America great again? God bless Donald Trump. He’s our next president.”

Madison Square Garden was packed to the rafters Sunday as thousands of supporters of former President Trump attended a campaign rally.

Security at the venue stopped letting people into the arena ahead of Trump’s speech. Those who didn’t were seen converging into neighborhood bars and asking for the rally to be shown on TV.

Trump, who grew up in New York City
, is targeting the deep-blue state that most think will swing in favor of Vice President Kamala Harris.

House Speaker Mike Johnson, while hyping up the full Madison Square Garden crowd in New York City, to vote Republican to turn the Senate red and retire speaker Chuck Schumer “for good.”

Johnson said nobody wants four more years of wars and weakness on the world stage, adding American voters are sick of it.

He said the House blocked the Democrats “woke” agenda and instead passed solutions to challenges facing the country, but they were all stopped in the Senate.

“We’re about to grow that majority. That’s what’s going to happen on November 5th. New York is going to make that happen,” Johnson said. “You’re going to elect your incumbents here and our challengers, and you’re going to make a big difference. And we need a Republican Senate so we can retire Chuck Schumer for good. And America needs and everybody knows, no matter where we are in the country, we know we have to get Donald J. Trump back to the White House so we can get this thing fixed.”

Former independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., speaking at Madison Square Garden Sunday afternoon, unleased on the Democratic Party, saying it has lost its way.

Kennedy tells the crowd the Democratic Party is no longer the party of Martin Luther King, Jr., or Robert or John Kennedy.

“It was the party that wanted to protect and nurture the middle class. It was the party that stood up to censorship, the surveillance. It stood up for the CIA, the military conflict, military industrial complex. And it was the party that wanted to protect public health and women’s sports.”

Now all that has changed, Kennedy says.

“The Democratic Party is the party of war. It’s the party of the CIA. You had Kamala Harris giving a speech at the Democratic convention that was written by neocons. It was belligerent. Pugnacious. It talked about domination of the world by the United States through our weapons of war. It’s the party today that wants to divide Americans. It’s a party that is dismantling women’s sports by letting men play women’s sports. It’s the party of Wall Street. It’s the party of Bill Gates, who just gave $50 million to Harris. It’s the party and the Harris campaign is very proud that it received the endorsement of 50 former CIA agents and officers. And of John Bolton and of Dick Cheney.” 

Former GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy said the only person who is going to be happier than anyone else when former President Trump gets elected is President Biden.

“At the only celebration bigger than this one right now is going to be on the evening of November 5th, when we send Donald J. Trump back to the white House as your 47th president and commander in chief,” Ramaswamy said. “And I’m looking around here, there’s only one man who is going to be more happy than everybody else in this room when that happens. And that is going to be a man by the name of Joe Biden.

“Actually, he is so pissed off about what they did to him. And, you know, he’s thinking it, but I’m going to say it, identity politics never works in America,” Ramaswamy added. “ When you select somebody on the basis of their race and their gender, it always ends up being a disaster. And I’m actually talking about Tim Walz this time, by the way.” 

Former Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard tells the crowd at Madison Square Garden Sunday what’s at stake if Kamala Harris were to become president.

“Here is the choice that we have. A vote for Kamala Harris is a vote for Dick Cheney. And it’s a vote for a war. More war likely, World War III and nuclear war. A vote for Donald Trump is a vote for a man who wants to end wars, not start them. And who has demonstrated already that he has the courage and strength to stand up and fight for peace? A vote for Kamala Harris is a vote for open borders, where known violent criminals and Islamist terrorists are streaming across our borders, placing us at risk. A vote for Donald Trump is a vote for secure borders and safe communities, and a confidence that he will seek out those who seek to do us harm and get them out. A vote for Kamala Harris is a vote for economic hardship, high cost of living, poverty and homelessness, and a vote for Donald Trump is a vote for economic prosperity and opportunity for every single one of us as Americans. A vote for Kamala Harris is a vote for censorship and a complete erosion of our fundamental and constitutional rights and freedoms. A vote for Donald Trump is a vote for someone who will defend freedom, and every one of our God given rights that are enshrined in the Constitution and Bill of rights. So the choice is ours. History will look back on us at this moment for the choice that we make. Did we choose war or peace? Did we choose poverty or prosperity?
”

Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., who played a role in the firing of college presidents for anti-Semitism on campus tells the crowd at Madison Square Garden there are “many to go.”

Stefanik, who was one of many featured speakers Sunday afternoon, says college campuses witnessed a skyrocketing of anti-Semitism after the Oct. 7, 2023, massacre in Israel.

“Did you see that committee hearing with those college presidents? Now, former college presidents? That’s right. I asked the presidents of Penn, MIT and Harvard, ‘Does calling for the genocide of Jews violate your university’s code of conduct?’ And one after the other said, ‘it depends on the context.’ And the world heard, ‘you’re fired. Five have been fired. So many to go,” Stefanik says.

You know, after we fire Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, we’re gonna fire Kathy Hochul, Alvin Bragg, Tish James, you’re fired. As I said, President Trump has fought for us. It is now our opportunity to fight for him and New York.”

A massive rally in support of former President Trump packed the infamous Madison Square Garden Sunday night.

The rally has brought so many supporters that the venue has been forced to cut off entrees, and many have been left outside, police confirm to Fox News Digital.

The event is set to feature dozens of speakers, including Republican lawmakers, and Tesla CEO Elon Musk. Trump is expected to speak later Sunday evening.

America First Legal founder and senior advisor for former President Trump, Stephen Miller, urged Americans to get out and vote for the Republican presidential nominee,  adding, “That man took a bullet for you.”

While speaking at the Trump rally at Madison Square Garden in New York City on Sunday, Miller painted the difference between the current Biden-Harris administration and what Trump brings to the table.

“This is a choice between betrayal and renewal, between self destruction and salvation, between the failure of America or the triumph of America,” Miller said. “I want you to think about the decades of abuse that has been heaped upon the good people of this nation, their jobs looted and stolen from them and shipped to Mexico, Asia and foreign countries.”

He continued to have people ponder the thought of their loved ones being ripped away from them by illegal aliens and criminal gangs, as well as about a system that punishes hard working citizens.

Miller talked about Trump raising his fist in the air after being shot in Butler, Pennsylvania, shouting “Fight, fight fight.”

“One man, and that man, ladies and gentleman, that man took a bullet for you,” he said. “He took a bullet for democracy and all we are asking in return is for nine days…you have to vote.

“Vote for freedom. Vote for liberty. Vote for sovereignty. Vote for your children. Vote for your families. Vote for the right of free speech. The right to the Second Amendment. Vote for the right to have a secure sovereign border, and for the right to have a government that puts American citizens ahead of illegal aliens,” Miller said. “With your votes, you can smash this broken establishment, folks.”

Dan Scavino, a Senior Advisor to former President Trump and the former White House Deputy Chief of Staff, spoke at a rally in Madison Square Garden Sunday where he shared a “behind the scenes” moment after the assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania.

“I’m going to give you a behind the scenes with the president,” Scavino said, recounting the aftermath of the assassination attempt on Trump minutes into the Butler rally on July 13.

Scavino said he shared the photo with Trump, the “iconic photo of him raising his fist in the air.”

“[I] said sir, ‘this is the most iconic photo, I think, in the history of not only politics, but of all time,’” Scavino said. “I told him it was from Doug Mills, New York Times photographer, a great photographer. The president’s reaction was, ‘how’s Doug? Is Doug okay? Reach out to Doug. See how he’s doing.’ Of which I did when we were in the hospital. Everything he had going on — just shot in the damn head – and the guy cared and [was] concerned about how Doug is doing, how his team is doing.”

Former President Trump
will bring his showmanship-style Sunday to a campaign rally at New York City’s iconic Madison Square Garden, an event that is expected to draw thousands of supporters. 

The rally in “the world’s most famous arena” comes as Trump targets a deep-blue state that last backed a Republican in 1984. Home to the NBA’s New York Knicks and NHL’s New York Rangers, the Garden has a long tradition of hosting political events close to Election Day. 

In 1968, segregationist platform candidate and Alabama Gov. George Wallace hosted a campaign rally at the venue a week before the election, which was eventually won by Richard Nixon, a Republican. 

Nixon hosted a Halloween campaign rally at the Garden, a week before his Election Day victory during one of the most turbulent periods in American history. 

Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., said Sunday that former President Trump could make history on Election Day and win New York.

Stefanik is in attendance and is expected to speak at the Trump rally at Madison Square Garden in New York City on Sunday. She told Fox News Digital the former president has been thinking of holding a rally there for the past four years.

“I’m so glad that this is happening. This is a real testament to so much support he has, not just in New York, but across the country,” Stefanik said. “This is going to be an iconic, historic day. And you can see, it’s already full.”

She said the tickets for the event sold out in three hours, which, again, is a testament to the enthusiasm, momentum and energy leading into the closing chapter of Trump’s campaign.

Stefanik also said she believes New York is in play and Trump can make history and win New York.

“If you look at Kamala Harris’ performance, she is underperforming Joe Biden in every single swing district,” Stefanik said. “In New York City, she will be the lowest performing democrat nominee for president since the 1980s. President Trump has historic support among growing demographic groups – African American voters, Hispanic voters, Jewish voters, working class voters – so, this is an America first movement that works for all Americans, and I think that New York could make history on election day.”

Fox News Digital’s Brooke Singman contributed to this report. 

Americans Against Antisemitism founder Dov Hikind spoke out against Hillary Clinton and Vice President Kamala Harris for comparing former President Trump’s planned rally at Madison Square Garden to a Nazi rally at the famous venue in the 1930s.

“My God, what the hell is wrong with these people,” Hikind, who’s mother is a Holocaust survivor, said in a video post on X. “This desperation on the part of Hillary Clinton and Harris, calling D Trump a fascist. Madison Square Garden, half the places is going to be Jews there to support Donald Trump.”

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has linked former President Trump’s upcoming rally at New York City’s Madison Square Garden to the infamous Nazi rally that took place in the arena in 1939.

On Sunday, Harris’ running mate echoed the same comparison of Trump’s rally in Madison Square Garden to the 1939 Nazi rally.

“Donald Trump’s got this big, rally going at Madison Square Garden. There’s a direct parallel to a big rally that happened in the mid-1930s at Madison Square Garden. And don’t think that he doesn’t know for one second exactly what they’re doing there,” Walz said.

Former first lady Michelle Obama blasted critics of Vice President Harris at a Michigan rally on Saturday, accusing them of nitpicking the Democratic nominee’s interview answers as a smokescreen for Trump’s track record.

“I hope you’ll forgive me if I’m a little frustrated that some of us are choosing to ignore Donald Trump’s gross incompetence while asking Kamala to dazzle us at every turn,” she said to a crowd of rally goers in Kalamazoo.

“I hope that you’ll forgive me if I’m a little angry that we are indifferent to his erratic behavior, his obvious mental decline, his history as a convicted felon, a known slumlord, a predator found liable for sexual abuse… All of this while we pick apart countless answers from interviews that he doesn’t even have the courage to do, y’all.”

While speaking at the rally, Obama credited Harris for “building a remarkable campaign in record time” and homed in on issues integral to her campaign, including reproductive freedoms.

Trump Organization Executive Vice President Eric Trump previewed the former president’s highly anticipated rally at Madison Square Garden on Sunday.

Former President Trump will be holding a massive rally at the famed New York City stadium on Sunday night.

“I think there is tremendous symbolism,” the younger Trump said. “This is a guy who built the entire New York City skyline. He spent his entire career doing that. The entire city is littered with buildings that have Trump on it.”

“He’s a man that deeply loves New York. I’m a person who deeply loves New York City. You know, I grew up in that building. I grew up in Madison Square Garden. I went o every Rangers game with my father, all the Knicks games, countless concerts. To see him on stage in really the darkest blue area of the country, but with that kind of enthusiasm, I don’t think there could be anything more meaningful to us,” he added.

Vice President Kamala Harris was interrupted by a protester at a church in battleground state Pennsylvania on Sunday while speaking about faith just over a week before the 2024 presidential election.

Harris was speaking to a predominantly Black audience at the Church of Christian Compassion, where she used the story of the Apostle Paul to illustrate how we overcome obstacles to spread the word of Jesus.

“In hard times when we may grow weary in doing good, we must remember the power that works within us, the divine power that transformed Paul’s life, guided him through shipwreck and sustained him through trials,” Harris said.

At one point during Harris’ remarks, a woman in a pew began yelling and interrupted the vice president. As the woman was drowned out by the church band and cheers from the crowd, Harris said “that’s why we have a democracy, and “it’s alright, every voice is important.”

After the protester was taken away, Harris continued: “People feel real pain — but like Paul, we must remember that divine power works through our actions, and we have the power to move past division and chaos.”

Harris finished her remarks noting that there are just nine days until “we decide the future of this nation.”

“What feeds my spirit — I see faith in action all over,” Harris said. “Everywhere I go I see remarkable acts, I see a nation determined to turn the page on hatred and division. To chart a new way forward. I see Americans from red states and blue states who are ready to bend the arc of history towards justice.”

“These next 9 days will test us. They will demand everything we got,” Harris continued. “In times of uncertainty, scripture reminds we will endure.”

Former Rep. Liz Cheney, who is backing Vice President Kamala Harris in 2024, blasted former President Donald Trump as “unstable,” “depraved,” and “cruel” during an appearance on CNN’s “State of the Union” on Sunday.

Cheney also suggested that former Trump administration figures who have been speaking out against Trump, like former White House chief of staff John Kelly, “know” that Trump “has no conscience,” and is “erratic,” “chaotic,” and “cruel.”

The former congresswoman, who identifies as pro-life, also claimed that since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, some states put laws in place that prevent women from obtaining “life-saving care.” She asserted that there have been situations in which physicians are unsure whether the care a woman requires has been criminalized under state law.

Cheney said that there are pro-life and pro-choice women rallying behind Harris so that they never find themselves in a scenario “where either their own life is at risk, where they can’t have babies in the future.”

She also appeared on CBS News’ “Face the Nation” on Sunday morning to share similar thoughts, including the view that Trump lacks a conscience.

Cheney said that she thinks Donald Trump has ushered “violence … into our politics in a way that we haven’t seen before.”

Sen. JD Vance
addressed some concerns regarding former President Trump’s plans on foriegn policy on Sunday.

Critics have argued that Trump is overly hostile toward NATO and other U.S. allies, while extending friendship to dictators like Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping.

Vance addressed those concerns in a Sunday interview with NBC News, telling the outlet that the U.S. would not be leaving NATO under Trump.

Vance also called Putin and “adversary,” but fell short of declaring him an “enemy.”

“Well, we’re not in a war with him, and I don’t want to be in a war with Vladimir Putin’s Russia,” Vance explained.

Sen. Lindsey Graham on Sunday said John Kelly’s “fascist” comment about former President Trump, under whom he served as White House chief of staff, was a sign of desperation for the Harris campaign with just over a week to go until election day.

Graham, R-S.C., appeared on ABC’s “This Week,” where he was asked about how Kelly insisted Trump met the “general definition of a fascist” and would govern like a dictator if allowed during an interview with The New York Times last week. 

“[Kelly’s] undermining a concept that’s been good for America,” Graham said. “I think our generals have sort of been apolitical. He’s entitled to his opinion. I just categorically reject it.”

“Three weeks before the election, you’re calling basically Trump Hitler, a fascist, is not going to resonate,” the senator continued. “What happened to joy on the Democratic side? They went from joy to now Trump is Hitler. Well, that’s desperation.”

Graham further struck back on Kelly’s “fascist” comment, asking Americans to look at Trump’s record as “a friend of Israel unlike any other” and how he helped put Israel “in the strongest position they’ve been in.” He also said there were no wars, the border was at its most secure and inflation was down, all on Trump’s watch.

“I think General Kelly’s criticisms are not based on facts,” the senator said. “I think it’s emotional, it’s sad, and it’s not going to matter.”

Rep. Mike Turner, R-Ohio, discussed the ongoing Israel war, the FBI probing the leak of Israeli classified documents, the 2024 presidential election and the current administration’s handling of the war on Sunday.

Turner appeared on Fox News with host Maria Bartiromo on Sunday and argued that Vice President Kamala Harris has shown far too little support for Israel. He argued that the Biden-Harris administration has hamstrung Israel’s ability to respond to aggression from its neighbors like Iran.

“One of the fallacies of the Biden administration, Maria, is that the United States has rightly assisted Israel in defending against the missile attacks from Iran. With missile defense, the over several hundred missiles that Iran has launched against Israel, the Biden administration has attempted to act like, well, since those missiles didn’t hit their intended targets, it’s as if they didn’t happen,” Turner said. “They’ve limited the ability for Israel to really impact Iran and its ability to continue to threaten Israel.”

Turner went on to argue that the ongoing conflicts in the Middle East would never have started had former President Trump still been in office.

“Vice President Harris even hasn’t embraced fully President Biden’s policy, which even though it’s lukewarm, still fully supports Israel. He gives them very tepid ability to defend themselves, but fully supports Israel. She’s been lukewarm on whether or not she fully supports Israel,” Turner added.

Colorado Democratic Gov. Jared Polis, a surrogate for Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign, downplayed the severity of Venezuelan gangs in his state on “Fox News Sunday.”

Polis argued that former President Trump had “exaggerated” the severity of migrant gangs that had taken over multiple apartment buildings in Aurora, Colorado.

“The Aurora police, the Republican mayor of Aurora have a very different version that they’ve told me,” Polis said. “What I’ve told the city of Aurora is the state is ready. You need it, we have access to any of our state troopers that are ready to back you up in any operation, but the police, the mayor, continue to reassure us.”

“It seems like another one of those things that Donald Trump has either exaggerated or is making up,” he said.

“The city of Aurora is great. I was there with my kids last week,” Polis added.

The daughter of Los Angeles Times owner Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong revealed why the outlet allegedly made the bombshell decision not to endorse a presidential candidate this election cycle. 

Nika Soon-Shiong, a 31-year-old progressive activist, posted a statement to X on Friday claiming that the paper made the decision as a way to push back on the Biden-Harris administration’s support for Israel’s war in Gaza.

“There is a lot of controversy and confusion over the LAT’s decision not to endorse a presidential candidate. I trust the Editorial Board’s judgment. For me, genocide is the line in the sand,” she wrote.

Soon-Shiong’s post received a “Community Notes” fact check from X, which cited Politico reporting and read, “The LA Times editorial board did not make this decision. The board voted to make an endorsement and were overruled by the owner, who is the poster’s father. There is no evidence that his decision was even partly based on the Gaza conflict.”

The activist, who displays a Palestinian flag on her X bio, composed several follow-up posts detailing how her parents’ own experience with Apartheid in South Africa influenced their decision. 

In one, she stated, “The temptation is to speak in muffled tones about an issue the international courts have called a plausible genocide. But this moment requires opposition to crimes against humanity, ethnic cleansing, and Apartheid – as my parents did in South Africa.”

Her father replied to her comments with his own statement to The Times, his spokesman telling the outlet that Soon-Shiong is only speaking for her own opinion and does not speak for the Los Angeles Times.

Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign is giving President Biden the cold shoulder in the final stretch before Election Day, according to a Sunday report from Axios.

Biden officials have reportedly told the Harris campaign that the president wants to support Harris on the trail in some way, but Harris staffers keep delaying discussions.

“He’s a reminder of the last four years, not the new way forward,” a source familiar with the situation told Axios of Biden.

The report comes after Biden conducted a solo campaign appearance in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where he blasted former President Trump with some of his most aggressive rhetoric yet.

“Donald Trump is a loser,” Biden told the audience. “He’s a loser of a candidate, and he’s a loser of a man.”

“I’ve never been this direct,” Biden added. “But I tell you what, [Trump] is about making sure you push people down. He thinks the way you get ahead is to push people down.” 

Fox News’ Carley Shimkus visited Madison Square Garden as supporters lined up in anticipation of former President Donald Trump’s rally on Sunday.

Hundreds of would-be rally goers could be seen waiting outside the stadium even in the earliest hours of Sunday morning. Trump’s rally is not set to begin until the evening.

Trump’s campaign is hoping to sway voters in New York, a state that hasn’t voted for a Republican presidential nominee in decades. Nevertheless, polls show Vice President Harris performing well below the typical Democrat in the state.

Trump’s rally will feature big names from politics as well as celebrities like Elon Musk and UFC CEO Dana White.

Tickets for the rally sold out in just hours. The stadium seats a maximum of 19,500 people.

“Fox & Friends Weekend” co-hosts reacted to Sen. John Fetterman, D-Penn., weighing in on the enthusiasm for former President Trump in his home state during an interview with the New York Times on Sunday.

Fetterman described a “superstore of Trump stuff” that he came across while in Pennsylvania recently.

“It was 100 feet long. It was dozens of T-shirts and hats, bumper stickers. It’s like, where does this all come from?” Fetterman said. “It’s the kind of thing that has taken on its own life.”

“Something very real exists there, and that doesn’t mean that I admire it, but it’s real,” he added.

Fetterman’s comments come as Trump prepares to hold a massive rally at New York City’s Madison Square Garden on Sunday. The stadium can hold an audience of 19,500.

President Biden criticized billionaire Elon Musk as a hypocrite on illegal immigration on Saturday, claiming the businessman started his career in the U.S. as an “illegal worker.”

Biden highlighted Musk’s role as a Republican megadonor and campaign surrogate for former President Trump during a speech in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on Saturday.

That wealthiest man in the world turned out to be an illegal worker here when he was here,” Biden said of Musk.

“He was supposed to be in school when he came on a student visa. He wasn’t in school. He was violating the law. He’s talking about all these ‘illegals’ coming our way,” Biden added.

Biden’s speech comes as Democrats are adopting a more aggressive approach to campaigning in the final days before Election Day. Michelle Obama, speaking at a rally alongside Vice President Kamala Harris, accused Trump of “gross incompetence” and said he suffers from “obvious mental decline.”

Rust Belt autoworkers, traditionally a cornerstone of the blue voting base, are tilting increasingly toward the GOP in a significant political realignment that’s leaving Democrats frustrated.

For people like Brian Pannebecker, founder of Auto Workers for Trump 2024, the change isn’t too surprising.

“The mainstream media are a little bit late to the game,” he said Tuesday on FOX Business’ “The Bottom Line.”

“This has been going on since the 1980s. Ronald Reagan and the Reagan Revolution gave Macomb County, where I’m from, the political nickname of ‘home of the Reagan Democrats,’ and that was when all the UAW members jumped over and voted for Ronald Reagan, and he won in a landslide. So, this has been going on for 40 years,” he continued, referencing the 1984 presidential election from which President Reagan walked away with a 49-state victory.

Despite the United Auto Workers Union’s governing board’s decision to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris this election cycle, many autoworkers like Pannebecker are throwing their support behind former President Trump.

Some are driven by factors like the economy or energy policies. Others are concerned about Harris’ support for electric vehicles (EVs) or even longstanding trade policies they believe have negatively impacted their industry.

“The Democrats have been shipping our jobs to Mexico and China for over 40 years, so this process has just come to a head now with Donald Trump, and he’s speaking our language. He knows what we want to hear, that he’s going to protect our industry before it completely disappears, and we’re going to vote for him in big numbers. I’m saying 65 to 70% of the UAW members are pulling the lever for Donald J. Trump,” Pannebecker said.

Comedian Bill Maher encouraged Vice President Kamala Harris to target an extremist on the Democratic side on Friday during “Real Time,” referencing a “Sister Souljah moment.”

“It’s not too late for Kamala Harris to do what many have been calling for her to do since she became the candidate: have a ‘Sister Souljah moment.’ And if you weren’t around in 1992, let me tell you what a Sister Souljah moment means. It’s when you earn cred with the middle of the road voters by standing up to an extremist in your own coalition,” he said, referencing when former President Clinton had denounced the rapper and activist’s remarks about race while he was running for president.

Maher, who supports the vice president and routinely criticizes former President Trump, has also criticized the far left. The comedian recently said Harris needed to convince undecided voters that she’s not part of the “worst excesses of the left.”

“After the L.A. riots in ’92, she said, if there are any good White people, I haven’t met them,” Maher said of Sister Souljah. “But she also said if Black people kill Black people every day, why not have a week and kill White people? And Bill Clinton, looking for an easy target and also well aware that killing White people would decimate our Olympic snowboard team, rebuked Souljah and came out against taking a week to kill Whitey. And yes, that was seen as courageous. It was an easy win.”

Maher explained that former President Obama also had a “Sister Souljah moment” when he denounced a reverend who “claimed the government purposefully engineered AIDS to kill minorities and spoke the words ‘Goddamn America.'”

President Biden took aim at former President Trump at a campaign event in Pennsylvania Saturday, using his remarks to cast his predecessor as an anti-labor leader who, if re-elected, would renege on some of the union’s hardest-fought gains.

Speaking at an event in Pittsburgh, Biden repeatedly described Trump as a “loser” who doesn’t care about union workers and would gladly do away with benefits like health care and pension plans if he won the presidency a second time.

“I’ve never been this direct,” Biden added. “But I tell you what, [Trump] is about making sure you push people down. He thinks the way you get ahead is to push people down.” 

His remarks were tailored specifically to union workers in Philadelphia, a group that has until recently been a reliable bedrock of support for Democratic candidates. But labor politics have shifted in recent years, especially in Rust Belt states, to favor Trump, many workers citing his accessible rhetoric and appeal to working-class voters.

Former first lady Michelle Obama claimed former President Trump has suffered an “obvious mental decline” while speaking at a rally for Vice President Kamala Harris on Saturday.

Obama went on to accuse Trump of “gross incompetence” in an aggressive speech, calling him a “known slum lord.”

“I hope you’ll forgive me that I’m a little frustrated that some of us would seem to ignore Donald Trump’s gross incompetence while asking Kamala to dazzle us at every turn,” Obama said.

“I hope that you’ll forgive me if I’m a little frustrated that we are indifferent to his erratic behavior; his obvious mental decline; his history as a convicted felon. A known slum lord. A predator found liable for sexual abuse,” she continued.

She then compared the lack of scrutiny toward Trump with media critics who “pick apart” Harris’ answers in political interviews.

“I am praying that those of us who are contemplating voting for Trump, or not voting at all, will snap out of whatever fog we are in,” Obama continued. “I am praying that we consider the decades of sacrifice and struggle by all of our ancestors. The folks who marched an sacrificed and shed their blood for us. We have to ask ourselves, is a vote for Trump or no vote at all the way we honor their lives?”

Former President Trump earned endorsements from
“highly respected” Muslim leaders and Imams during a campaign rally in the battleground state of Michigan. 

Trump, speaking to a crowd in Novi, Michigan, on Saturday afternoon, called the group of Muslim leaders “highly respected,” before bringing them onstage.

“I’m thrilled to accept the endorsement of these highly respected leaders,” Trump told the thundering crowd.

The group of leaders cited Trump’s commitment to ending wars and ensuring global peace as a primary reason for their support, describing him as a leader who “promises peace, not war.”

“We, as Muslims, stand with President Trump because he promises peace, not war!” Imam Belal Alzuhairi said. 

“We are supporting Donald Trump because he promised to end war in the Middle East and Ukraine,” Alzuhairi said. “The bloodshed has to stop all over the world, and I think this man can make that happen. I personally believe that God saved his life twice for a reason.”

Mayor Bill Bazzi, the first Muslim and Arab American elected mayor of Dearborn Heights, Michigan was also present at the rally to express support for Trump.

“We’re going to stop the wars, we’re going to make the United States safe again, and we’re going to make the world safe,” Bazzi said.”What a nice endorsement,” Trump said after Bazzi’s speech. “These are great people.”

Former President Trump will hold a massive campaign rally in New York City’s Madison Square Garden on Sunday, just nine days before voters cast their ballots.

The event, which was first-come, first-serve, sold out within hours of being announced.

The 19,500-seat venue is the home of the New York Knicks and New York Rangers.

The Trump campaign says the program includes political icons, celebrities, musical artists, and friends and family of former President Trump who will discuss how he is “the best choice to fix everything that Kamala Harris broke.”

“This epic event, in the heart of President Trump’s home city, will be a showcase of the historic political movement that President Trump has built in the final days of the campaign,” the campaign said in a statement.

“Elon Musk and the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) CEO Dana White will attend the rally.

Other notable attendees include former Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, political commentator Tucker Carlson and former Democrat presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard.

High-profile names from politics include Sen. JD Vance, Speaker Mike Johnson, Rep. Elise Stefanik and Rep. Byron Donalds.
