A friend of Donald Trump’s referred to Vice President Kamala Harris as “the devil” and “the antichrist,” drawing an ecstatic roar from the MAGA-hatted crowd that filled Madison Square Garden on Sunday.

Queens resident David Rem, a 60-year-old sanitation worker who was billed as the former president’s “lifelong friend,” but apparently first met him just two weeks ago, gesticulated with a crucifix while delivering a particularly manic address, telling the crowd at Madison Square Garden that “the cross that I’m holding is the cross that my mother… used to hold in the air when she prayed at night, every night, for Donald Trump and his family, because we knew three years ago that he was going to be, his life was going to be attempted to kill [sic], because they don’t want Donald Trump at the ballot box.”
