Ex-president also says ā€˜worst gang membersā€™ are entering US, and hinted at ā€˜transgender operations all over the placeā€™

Donald Trump accusedĀ Kamala Harris of running a campaign of hate at his Mar-a-Lago club in a display of projection days after his rally inĀ 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 ā€“ he would have almost certainly been asked about the caustic rally rhetoric ā€“ and in an attempt to change the narrative, arguedĀ 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 ā€“ the same site as Trumpā€™s rally just before the January 6 Capitol attack ā€“ to tie him directly to the riot.

    The tasteless joke was referring to the current state of Puerto Rico right now, which IS full of trash on beaches and shit to super concerning levels. Trump supporting Puerto Ricans found it tasteless but not offensive, while Harris supporting Puerto Ricans found it offensive, this situation is fucking stupid.

      You do realize there was a lot more racist bullshit spewed at that rally, not just from the one ā€œcomedianā€ 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.

      If you think thatā€™s what the joke was about, then congrats, youā€™re probably a conservative, because clearly you have no understanding of comedy.

        I didnā€™t say it was funny anywhere in my comment, moron.
