Vice President Kamala Harris condemned a controversial joke made at former President Donald Trump's rally at Madison Square Garden, labeling it as 'nonsense.' She also addressed claims that the event echoed a Nazi rally held at the same venue in 1939.
Harris made these statements in response to questions from a reporter before boarding Air Force Two. The reporter inquired about comparisons drawn between the recent event and the historical Nazi rally, as well as a joke made about Puerto Rico by comedian Tony Hinchcliffe during the rally.
In her response, Harris emphasized that the behavior exhibited by Trump was not surprising, stating, 'This is not new about him by the way. What he did last night is not a discovery. It is just more of the same, and it may be more vivid than usual.' She went on to criticize Trump for perpetuating division and hatred among Americans, attributing his actions to causing fatigue and disillusionment among the public.
'He fans the fuel of hatred and division, and that's why people are exhausted with him. That's why people who formerly supported Donald Trump and voted for him are now supporting me, voting for me. People are literally ready to turn the page,' Harris remarked.
