'What's he confessing to?' Trump's Mike Johnson 'secret' draws Electoral College concerns [View all]

By David Badash, The New Civil Rights Movement
Published October 28, 2024 11:18 AM ET

Donald Trump's six-hour Madison Square Garden rally Sunday night, filled with "anger, vitriol and racist threats," began almost immediately with the "joke heard around the world"—an attack calling Puerto Rico a "floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean"—and ended with 80 minutes of Donald Trump telling “scores of lies.”

The racist broadside was from comedian Tony Hinchcliffe, who also told the MAGA crowd: "And these Latinos, they love making babies, too, just know that. They do, they do. There’s no pulling out. They don’t do that. They come inside, just like they did to our country."

As Mediaite reported, Hinchcliffe, pointing to a Black man in the audience, "went with what seemed like an off-the-cuff 'joke.'"

But during those 80 minutes Donald Trump made one statement that has constitutional law and other experts concerned.

Referencing Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, Trump said: "I think with our little secret we are gonna do really well with the House, our little secret is having a big impact, he and I have a secret, we will tell you what it is when the race is over."


Trump at everyone of his fascist get togethers always will say something..............and this is his modus operandi..........always........GET OUT AND VOTE
