One of the things that get me is the quality of the voters who think that it is okay to use vulgar language in front of children,
A pro-Trump comedian’s racist diatribe drew widespread condemnation.PoliticoBy Meridith McGraw and Lisa KashinskyOctober 27, 2024Donald Trump’s rally at Madison Square Garden, billed as a triumphant homecoming, turned into a political fiasco on Sunday night as a pro-Trump comedian’s racist diatribe drew furious condemnation, including from prominent Republicans.The rally, held just more than a week before Election Day, was intended to serve as a platform for Trump to make his closing argument. But the racist slurs and vulgarity of the former president’s opening acts were so striking — and sparked such backlash — that his campaign was left on the defensive and issued a disavowal.The event began with comedian Tony Hinchcliffe, host of the “Kill Tony” podcast, who opened the rally with a set replete with slurs about Latinos, African Americans and other groups that Trump’s campaign is actively targeting to turn out for the former president.
I keep on thinking... "Who votes for this low life?" Who thinks that this racist language is acceptable? And why do minorities still vote for him? He delayed disaster support Puerto Rico?
Democrats moved quickly to denounce the derogatory remarks — and to split screen them with Vice President Kamala Harris, who had spent the day courting Puerto Rican voters in Pennsylvania and who had cut a video blasting Trump for withholding hurricane relief to the island even before his allies began their disparaging its inhabitants. Puerto Rican music superstars Ricky Martin and Bad Bunny reposted the video, which also included mention of her plan to boost economic opportunities for Puerto Rico, on Instagram to their combined tens of millions of followers.
In another Politico article they write,
And Trump’s opponents are using the rally as proof of the former president’s divisiveness, going as far as likening the rhetoric from Sunday’s rally to the sinister 1939 Nazi rally that took place in the same venue.“My reaction is that was a combination of 1933 Germany, 1939 Madison Square Garden last night,” former Trump adviser Anthony Scaramucci said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” Monday morning. “What you saw last night is a divisive America. That’s race baiting. It’s all the things that we were doing in the ‘30s and ‘40s.”
Then they turned to gaslighting and blaming others,
Florida GOP Rep. Byron Donalds blamed the media for the backlash surrounding Sunday’s rally during an interview on CNBC’s “Squawk Box” on Monday, saying the media is too focused on “fear-mongering” and not “the facts and the substance.”
Hmm... so it our fault? It is our fault that we found it offensive?
“I didn’t agree with what the comedian said. None of us did,” Donalds said. “When it came out, we were all like, ‘Wait what? Who? Did that get out? No, no, no.’ Nobody agreed with that. Nobody.”
Umm... you invited him to speak at the rally, you must have known his comedy routine but you invited him nonetheless. It speaks volumes to your values.
Trump appeals to the gutter low life and they eat this right up! When these racist remarks were made the crowd cheered!
ProPublicaBy Molly Redden and Andy Kroll, and Nick SurgeyOctober 28, 2024A key ally to former President Donald Trump detailed plans to deploy the military in response to domestic unrest, defund the Environmental Protection Agency and put career civil servants “in trauma” in a series of previously unreported speeches that provide a sweeping vision for a second Trump term.
In private speeches delivered in 2023 and 2024, Russell Vought, who served as Trump’s director of the Office of Management and Budget, described his work crafting legal justifications so that military leaders or government lawyers would not stop Trump’s executive actions.
He said the plans are a response to a “Marxist takeover” of the country; likened the moment to 1776 and 1860, when the country was at war or on the brink of it; and said the timing of Trump’s candidacy was a “gift of God.”
These people are wacko! They want to convert this country into a dictatorship1
In addition to running his think tank, Vought was the policy director of the Republican National Committee’s official platform committee ahead of the nominating convention. He’s also an architect of Project 2025, the controversial coalition effort mapping out how a second Trump administration can quickly eliminate obstacles to rolling out a hard-right policy agenda.
These people need to be stopped! with their lies, with their fearmongering, their vicious attacks on minorities... it is what dictators do but half of the country wants to destroy the US and making it into a White Christian Nationalist nation!
I'm voting for the candidate who supports my family values! I'm voting for Harris/Walz ticket.
I'm also voting "Yes" on the Connecticut ballot question, I don't believe the Republican "Big Lie"
The comidian spoke the truth on the donalds true feelings The guy is a racist and a cheat. He only cares about donald I think he'd throw his kids under the bus If it would help him
