Ex-president also says ‘worst gang members’ are entering US, and hinted at ‘transgender operations all over the place’

Donald Trump accused Kamala Harris of running a campaign of hate at his Mar-a-Lago club in a display of projection days after his rally in New York became embroiled by racist and crude comments that aides worried might have broken through to voters in the final days of the presidential race.

The event was open to reporters but Trump took no questions – he would have almost certainly been asked about the caustic rally rhetoric – and in an attempt to change the narrative, argued Kamala Harris was stoking division.

It was also an attempt to pre-empt what could be a damaging day for the Trump campaign. Later on Tuesday, Harris will speak at a rally on the Ellipse in Washington – the same site as Trump’s rally just before the January 6 Capitol attack – to tie him directly to the riot.

    You do realize there was a lot more racist bullshit spewed at that rally, not just from the one “comedian” right?

      And you do realize that I am only referring to the person most people were bitching about, without the extra context?

      And I am aware of the crazed old Pro-Isreal guy that appeared on stage, most of the MAGA crowd behind him started saying no in response to his offensive comments, after a bit, on video.

        I dunno bro, I saw a lot of bright smiling teeth behind him DURING the joke. Not a single person I know with a soul did anything other than gasp. The entire rally was full of opaque out and open fascist statements and disgusting needlessly aggressive remarks about opponents. If you think it wasn’t similar to the MSG Nazi rally then you really ought to watch it. Your blinders are letting you get slow-walked to nazism.
