Trump made his ‘surreal’ return to New York with his name in lights at one of the world’s most celebrated stadiums, where roughly 19,000 people cheered on crude insults and attacks days before Election Day, Alex Woodward reports from Madison Square Garden

The crowd was beaming with optimism, shaking hands and embracing friends and strangers, all dressed head-to-toe in patriotic colors — then digested six hours of borderline racist, profanity-filled remarks and vulgar insults aimed at their political opponents.

A long list of Donald Trump’s high-profile allies at his massive Madison Square Garden rally labeled Kamala Harris “the antichrist” and “the devil” and lamented “f****ing illegals.” Tucker Carlson joked that Trump’s Democratic rival — a Black and Indian-American woman — is “the first Samoan, Malaysian, low IQ” presidential nominee.

“I don’t know if you know this but there’s literally a floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean right now. I think it’s called Puerto Rico,” said comedian Tony Hinchliffe, who goes by the stage name Kill Tony.
