Donald Trump held a massive rally in Madison Square Garden on Sunday, where MAGA speakers pushed hate to a New York City crowd ahead of Election Day.
lost the New York City borough by nearly 75 points in 2020, and by even more than that four years earlier. But on Sunday, ahead of Trump’s mega-rally at, the area was overrun with red apparel and a seemingly unlimited variety of memes glorifying the former president and denigrating his Democratic opponent, Kamala Harris.
Trump’s stop in New York City, with less than two weeks until Election Day, was unorthodox, given that New York is a solidly blue state. He described his Madison Square Garden party as a “celebration” last week, and the event did indeed feel more like a pre-emptive victory party than something intended to make inroads with any particular voting bloc.
Robert’s story was somehow tame compared to the fear-mongering, grievance-airing, and hate the speakers spewed inside the venue. One of the first to take the stage, a nakedly racist comedian named Tony Hinchcliffe, called Puerto Rico “a floating island of garbage” and joked about a Black man in the audience carving watermelons at a Halloween party. The comments have drawn bipartisan backlash. Trump’s campaignfrom Hinchcliffe later in the day, only for Donald Trump Jr.
I’d been in my seat for over five hours at this point, and I was starting to wonder whether this much continuous exposure to bilious MAGA talking points, to garish red and blue lighting and jumbotron graphics depicting migrant gang members ready to move in next door and kill me, was beginning to warp my conception of reality.
The MAGA faithful were still riding high outside of the Garden after Trump finished. They chanted. They took photos in front of the arena. They crowded around Sarah Palin, who wore a short fur coat and posed for selfies. One young Trump fan in a shirt featuring nothing but the former president’s outstretched fist from the aftermath of the Butler assassination attempt chatted with her for a few seconds before walking away with a girl and letting the scrum close back around Palin.
“Bye, Darryl! Bye!” she called back at him, feigning like she was going to leave without him. “Why waste your time with an idiot?”
