Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump hosted a rally at the iconic Madison Square Garden as the campaigns for votes entered their final bout.
The main battle of the US elections is between Trump and Harris. Who would bear the crown?
As they entered the final bout of their campaign, both candidates tried to capture the vote of the Latinos. However, Trump’s campaign team went about their rally woefully, invoking racist and vulgar comments.
The opening acts of the campaign did little to promote their candidate. The rally began with Tony Hinchcliffe, a comedian and podcast host who tried to degrade Puerto Rico.
“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,” he said. “I think it’s called Puerto Rico.”
The Trump supporters seemingly took the degradation well because the crowd cheered, forgetting that New York is home to the largest population of Puerto Ricans.
“These Latinos, they love making babies, too. Just know that they do,” Hinchcliffe continued.
In a view of getting on the good side of the Puerto Rican immigrants, Trump’s Campaign tried to dismiss the views of Hinchcliffe.
“This joke does not reflect the views of President Trump or the campaign,” Trump campaign spokesperson Danielle Alvarez said in a statement.
The response was not good enough because the Harris campaign quickly got clips of the comments and posted it on their social media, in a bid to sway the vote with the racism card.
While Trump was conducting his campaign in New York, Harris did hers in Pennsylvania which was home to about 500,000 Puerto Ricans.
Trump tried to sway voters claiming Kamala Harris and Joe Biden were vessels in a larger cabal.
“We’re running against a massive, crooked, malicious leftist machine that’s running the Democrat party,” the former president said. “They are smart and vicious; they are the enemy within; we must defeat them.”
