Trump accuses Harris of ‘campaign of hate’ one day after his racism-filled rally

Ex-president also says ‘worst gang members’ are entering US, and hinted at ‘transgender operations all over the place’

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

It was a fascist rally.

I seriously fucking loath this guy *especially* when he pulls this projection bullshit...

This fucking scumbag could walk on stage, shit his pants in front of everyone, stinking so bad the people closest to him vomit, and with a straight face say "Kambala pants shitter can't even control her own body how can we let this communist control the country!?"

I can't wait until I can go piss on his grave.

Oh, you mean he tried to preempt further criticism by accusing his opponent of what he is doing? Who could have predicted such a novel line of attack.

He lets us witness the unironic version, in its native habitat

It's important to recognize that Trump does not understand hate and love like you or me. His rallies are "full of love" because he views love as loyalty to and adoration of him. Opposition for any reason is hate. He does not see racism as hate because he sees it as truth, and speaking the truth is at worst harsh but necessary.

He honestly is an old version of one of those people who won't shut up about their haters.

Man. Take a look at that makeup line. What a weirdo.

hate only sees hate through the lens of hate so every disagreement is born of it

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 “comedian” 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.

I dunno bro, I saw a lot of bright smiling teeth behind him DURING the joke. Not a single person I know with a soul did anything other than gasp. The entire rally was full of opaque out and open fascist statements and disgusting needlessly aggressive remarks about opponents. If you think it wasn't similar to the MSG Nazi rally then you really ought to watch it. Your blinders are letting you get slow-walked to nazism.

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

Maybe if his spawn's failson husband didn't oppsidaisy the federal contract to restore its infrastructure to a middleman shell company nobody's ever heard of it would be in better condition... or if it wasn't Washington's proving ground for the effects of cruel and unusual policies nobody except companies want. Or if they could spend money on their own infrastructure before paying back bonds like everyone else can legally do. Or maybe if Trump gave any shits at all about it as his entire presidency was riddled with hatred towards US territories like "at least the only thing in range of North Korea's nuke is Guam." I'm sure there isn't metric tons of evidence that his policies reflected that opinion.
