The Comedy and Claims at Trump's NYC Rally

Trump's recent rally at Madison Square Garden was filled with both laughs and controversies. Before Trump took the stage, comedian Tony Hinchcliffe sparked outrage with racist jokes targeting Puerto Ricans, Black Americans, Latinos, and Jewish people. Politicians from both parties quickly condemned the remarks. Trump, the Republican presidential nominee, then delivered a speech centering around immigration, falsely claiming that countries are sending their prisoners to the U.S. and that immigrant children are vanishing. He also suggested the use of an old law to deport immigrants, a move experts say is legally questionable. Trump's rally happened in a city that traditionally votes Democratic, inviting criticism from local officials. The event brought up several claims that needed fact-checking, such as the idea that Harris has imported criminal migrants or that crime has skyrocketed under the Biden-Harris administration.
