PermalinkA comic kicked off the rally by dismissing Puerto Rico as a âfloating island of garbage,â then mocked Hispanics as failing to use birth control, Jews as cheap and Palestinians as rock-throwers, and called out a Black man in the audience with a reference to watermelon.
Another speaker likened Vice President Kamala Harris to a prostitute with âpimp handlers.â A third called her âthe Antichrist.â And the former Fox News host Tucker Carlson mocked Ms. Harris â the daughter of an Indian mother and a Jamaican father â with a made-up ethnicity, saying she was vying to become âthe first Samoan-Malaysian, low IQ former California prosecutor ever to be elected president.â
By the time the former president himself took the stage, an event billed as delivering the closing message of his campaign, with nine days left in a tossup race, had instead become a carnival of grievances, misogyny and racism.
