Trump has a long history of being blatantly offensive. Was a joke at his MSG rally finally too far?

Donald Trump walked on a small platform decorated in red, white and blue in the center of Madison Square Garden on Sunday night after six hours of demagoguery from some of his closest allies and biggest supporters.

In front of nearly 20,000 cheering people, a friend of Trump’s called Kamala Harris “the devil” and “the antichrist” before waving around a crucifix. Tucker Carlson called her a “Samoan, Malaysian, low IQ” candidate. Rudy Giuliani said Palestinians are taught to kill at two years old and “Harris wants to bring them to you.” Popular radio host Sid Rosenberg lashed out at “f***ing illegals” and “sick son of a b****” Hillary Clinton. Businessman Grant Cardone said Harris has “pimp handlers.” Wrestler Hulk Hogan made a “hawk tuah” reference. Nearly every speaker attacked transgender people. Trump aide Stephen Miller declared America is “for Americans only.”
