Former President Donald Trump’s campaign rally at Madison Square Garden on October 27, just days before the upcoming presidential election, became a lightning rod of controversy. Intended as a key event for his closing campaign message, the rally was marked by speakers hurling crude and racist remarks at Vice President Kamala Harris and other political adversaries, causing backlash and sparking debate across social and political platforms.
Prominent Trump supporters, including Trump’s childhood friend David Rem and former Fox News host Tucker Carlson, made incendiary comments. Rem labeled Harris as “the Antichrist” and “the devil,” while Carlson insultingly referenced Harris's mixed heritage, calling her “a Samoan, Malaysian, low-IQ former California prosecutor.” A stand-up comedian added fuel to the fire, making offensive jokes about various racial and ethnic groups, including a jibe about Puerto Rico that swiftly drew criticism from Harris's campaign. Shortly after, Puerto Rican artist Bad Bunny publicly endorsed Harris.
The rally, despite its antagonistic tone, highlighted Trump’s influence among his supporters. The event drew a packed arena and featured guests like Hulk Hogan, who performed theatrics reminiscent of his wrestling days and praised Trump as "the only man that can fix this country today."
Critics of the rally have compared Trump’s rhetoric to authoritarian movements, while supporters praised his unfiltered approach. Trump continued to denounce his legal battles as politically motivated and pledged to address immigration and security concerns if elected.
