Vice President Kamala Harris on Monday condemned the tone of former President Donald Trump’s rally at Madison Square Garden the night before, arguing that it underscored her campaign’s argument against him. “I think last night, Donald Trump’s event in Madison Square Garden really highlighted a point that I’ve been making throughout this campaign,” Harris told reporters before heading to Michigan. “He is focused and actually fixated on his grievances, on himself and on dividing our country.” The former president largely stuck to familiar lines at Sunday’s event in New York City, but the opening acts unleashed racist and vulgar attacks on Harris, Democrats, immigrants and even Puerto Rico — which prompted angry rebukes from Democrats and some Republicans. Comedian Tony Hinchcliffe’s comments about Puerto Rico provoked the most backlash. “There’s a lot going on, like, 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,” he said. “I think it’s called Puerto Rico,” the comedian and podcast host said in the city that’s home to the largest Puerto Rican population on the US mainland.
