Conservatism is dead. Conspiracism is dancing on its grave

Lindsay Beyerstein October 31, 2024

Conspiracist ideology has consumed the Republican Party. At his rally at Madison Square Garden, Trump pledged to demolish the deep state, drive out the globalists, and rout the fake news media. Speaker after speaker referenced the Great Replacement conspiracy theory, a dogma that was once confined to the manifestos of mass shooters, but which is now the Trump campaign’s closing argument for the presidency.

Former Fox host Tucker Carlson, who promoted the Great Replacement over 400 times on his now-defunct show, told the crowd at Madison Square Garden that the political class “despises [the people] and their values and their history and their culture and their customs really hates them to the point that it’s trying to replace them.”

The former president’s son, Donald Trump, Jr, was even more explicit.

“The Democrat[sic] Party has forgotten about Americans. Rather than cater to Americans, they decided, “You know what? It would just be easier to replace them with people who will be reliable voters.”

"Our elections are bad, and a lot of these illegal immigrants coming in, they're trying to get them to vote," Trump Sr., said last month.

The Republican National Committee under Lara Trump is claiming that millions of undocumented migrants could vote next week. A vast body of research, including recent audits by Republican-controlled states like Georgia, has found that voting by non-citizens is essentially non-existent.

By hyping this fake threat, Republicans are creating a pretext to challenge the election if Trump loses, putting a racist spin on their perennial allegations of voter fraud, and creating excuses for Republican governors to purge their voter rolls.

However, this obsession with non-citizen voting goes deeper than that. The lie of mass voting by undocumented migrants is the conceptual glue that binds the three major components of their conspiracist ideology: The Deep State, the Big Lie, and the Great Replacement.

Let’s review their delusional belief system:

The Deep State is a shadowy network of elites inside and outside of government who supposedly direct the course of history. This cabal is responsible for everything from Trump’s impeachments and prosecutions to voting laws and immigration policy. Some say it controls the weather.

The Big Lie is the debunked claim that voter fraud cost Donald Trump the 2020 election. Trump kicked off his Madison Square Garden rally by vowing to “totally obliterate the Deep State.”

The Great Replacement is the charge that the Deep State is deliberately importing migrants in order to replace white Americans, a process sometimes known as “white genocide.” The lie of massive noncitizen voting explains why the Deep State is supposedly importing all these migrants to commit election fraud.

These beliefs meld seamlessly into a paranoid whole. Trump told rally-goers in Atlanta that the only reason Democratic immigration policy must be the result of evil or stupidity. “Well, they’re not stupid because anybody that can cheat on elections that good is not stupid,” Trump told rally-goers in Atlanta. “But I never really talked about the third reason because it’s so sinister, but they want to sign these people up to vote, and if they do that, this country is destroyed.”

Trump has been blaming migrants for his political failures for years. In 2016, Trump lost the popular vote and blamed it on millions of illegal voters. Incredibly, Trump claimed that he would have won deep blue California – a state he lost by 30 points and 4 million votes – if not for those improbably civic-minded migrants. Trump convened a special commission to investigate voter fraud, which fizzled without finding evidence of the conspiracy.

Conservative ideology as we knew it is dead.

Conspiracism is all.

Fox’s John Roberts denies that Trump has talked about deploying the military against Americans

In an interview on Fox, Trump recently suggested using troops against “the enemy within”

Written by Bushra Sultana

Published 10/30/24

On the October 30 edition of America Reports, Fox anchor John Roberts falsely claimed that Donald Trump has never said that he would use the military against the American people, claiming instead, “He said that he would bring in the National Guard to quell demonstrations that turned violent.”

Roberts was seemingly referring to Trump’s comments in an interview from early October in which Fox’s Maria Bartiromo asked the former president about “outside agitators” creating chaos on Election Day. Trump responded, “I think the bigger problem is the enemy from within,” adding, “We have some very bad people. We have some sick people, radical left lunatics. … It should be very easily handled by, if necessary, by National Guard, or if really necessary, by the military.”

Roberts also ignored the larger context of Trump’s comments repeatedly calling Democrats and people who don’t support him “the enemy from within.” In an interview with Fox’s Howard Kurtz, Trump called Reps. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Adam Schiff (D-CA) “an enemy from within,” claiming, “These are bad people. We have a lot of bad people. But when you look at ‘Shifty Schiff’ and some of the others, yeah, they are, to me, the enemy from within.” Trump has also repeatedly called mainstream media “the enemy of the people” since his 2016 election campaign.

CitationFrom the October 30, 2024, edition of Fox News' America Reports

JOSE ARISTIMUNO (FORMER DNC DEPUTY NATIONAL PRESS SECRETARY): On the disinformation, there's a whole lot of Republicans out there that are saying that Kamala Harris is a socialist when she's not. When you have a former president, on Donald Trump, that wants to militarize the Department of Justice, wants to use the military on the American people. He said it himself —

JOHN ROBERTS (ANCHOR): He never said that.

ARISTIMUNO: And he’s the one who doesn’t recognize elections. He doesn't recognize the 2020 election. That's what Nicolás Maduro does in Venezuela. So I invite my friends that are watching the program today, actually research of what these people are doing. Both Kamala and Donald Trump — look at their policies, look at their actions, not just their words. That's what's going to make a difference come November 5.

ROBERTS: Steve, quick final word to you, with the caveat that Donald Trump never said that he was going to sic the U.S. military on the American people. He said that he would bring in the National Guard to quell demonstrations that turned violent.

Mainstream media don’t have to take the right's phony outrage over Biden’s “garbage” comments seriously

Written by Gideon Taaffe

Published 10/30/24 mma

Some mainstream media outlets aided the inevitable right-wing outrage cycle regarding President Joe Biden's comments about a racist joke made at a Trump rally by adopting right-wing media's framing.

Speaking to nonprofit Voto Latino, Biden reacted to a comedian at Trump’s weekend rally calling Puerto Rico a “floating island of garbage,” saying, “The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporter’s — his — his demonization of Latinos is unconscionable, and it’s un-American. It’s totally contrary to everything we’ve done, everything we’ve been.”

NBC senior White House correspondent Gabe Gutierrez initially reportedthe comments as Biden calling Trump supporters “garbage”; Biden later clarified what he said, writing on social media, “Earlier today I referred to the hateful rhetoric about Puerto Rico spewed by Trump's supporter at his Madison Square Garden rally as garbage—which is the only word I can think of to describe it. His demonization of Latinos is unconscionable. That's all I meant to say. The comments at that rally don't reflect who we are as a nation.”

basket of deplorables problem? trying to get last few undecided?]

The next day, Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris told reporters that Biden “clarified his comments, but let me be clear: I strongly disagree with any criticism of people based on who they vote for.” She mentioned that she had called for unity in a speech the previous night, saying, “You heard my speech last night. I believe the work that I do is about representing all the people, whether they support me or not. I will be a President for all Americans.”

Even though Biden clarified his comments, many in the mainstream media posted headlines suggesting Biden called Trump supporters “garbage” and that his comments could give the right “a way to pivot away” from the overwhelming racism at Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally.

The Associated Press incorrectly wrote that Biden “suggests Trump supporters are ‘garbage’ after comic’s insult of Puerto Rico.” ABC News wrote up right-wing media’s bad-faith outrage, saying in a headline that Biden “angers GOP associating ‘garbage’ with Trump supporters.” NPR framed Biden’s comment as “a divisive remark” in a piece titled “Harris urged unity in her closing argument. Biden's ‘garbage’ line undercut that.”

Biden’s comment predictably led to a deluge of apoplectic reactions from right-wing media figures, who falsely claimed that the president called all Trump supporters “garbage” and made comparisons to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s “basket of deplorables” comment during the 2016 election cycle. (That comment was also misleadingly covered at the time, with some saying she was referring to all Trump supporters, when Clinton was specifically talking about voters who supported Trump for “racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic” reasons.)

Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk fearmongered that Biden “is using dehumanizing language towards 80 million Americans,” adding, “They think you are garbage, therefore worthy of elimination.” Fox News called the comments the “2024 campaign’s October Surprise.” The Daily Wire’s Matt Walsh said that the comments are “the kind of seething, anti-American contempt that you only find among Democrat elites.”

While right-wing media engage in bad-faith outrage over Biden’s comments, Trump has repeatedly disparaged the United States and Democrats during his campaign. He recently said America is “like a garbage can for the world” and has ramped up demonizing rhetoric toward immigrants and political foes. Trump has called Democrats “evil,” “dangerous,” and “enemies from within,” going as far as suggesting he will use the military against “radical left lunatics.”

By adopting the right-wing framing about Biden’s remarks, the mainstream media are enabling a false narrative that both sides are ramping up hostile rhetoric. They don’t need to engage in the right’s latest efforts to deflect from Trump’s racism and extremism.

October 28, 2024, edition of Newsmax's Greg Kelly Reports

GREG KELLY (HOST): Alright, just a couple of other things from the rally. You heard about this comedian, the controversial comedian? I thought he was actually pretty good. I mean, one or two things weren't so hot, but this was definitely funny.

...

KELLY: That's good stuff. His name is Tony Hinchcliffe. Politically incorrect? Sure. Bold? Sure. Not liberal? OK. I thought this was great too.

...

KELLY: Yeah, they liked it when he made fun of the left. When he made fun of Puerto Rico it was — alright. But this one I thought was well within bounds.

...

KELLY: It's funny. That is the essence of humor. I'm totally OK with it. Now, this is the big controversial line, the one about Puerto Rico that did not go over so well in the room, I'll add. There were people groaning when he actually made this joke, which, yeah, wasn't the best.

...

KELLY: You see the room reacted negatively to the slam on Puerto Rico, but it's possible that not everybody — I didn't really get the joke, but there's something to it. Let's see.

Did you know that there's a great big island of garbage in the Pacific Ocean? And it's been a thing for a long time. Yeah, we actually have a picture of it. It's been floating around out there for a long time. In fact, the Great Pacific Garbage Patch is now so huge and permanent that a coastal ecosystem is thriving on it, according to scientists.

Now, if you ask ChatGPT, you know what they say to this joke that he made? The joke, while intended to be humorous, is a form of satire based on a mix-up between environmental issues and political commentary. It plays on the fact that there is a massive garbage patch in the Pacific Ocean, a well-known environmental concern — not by everybody — by suggesting that Puerto Rico, a US Territory, is a floating island of garbage, it can be seen as a satirical commentary on the neglect or mistreatment Puerto Rico has historically faced, especially following serious weather events.

I'm alright. I think we'll be OK. You know, if he referred to San Francisco as Garbage City, I think everybody would kind of be OK with that, right? Everybody would understand. Puerto Rico has gone through some very, very hard times. They've been lagging economically for an incredibly long period of time. And take a look at this, if you don't mind, from the Council on Foreign Relations, Puerto Rico continues to be ravaged by a sustained recession. Annual economic growth fell by roughly 12.5% overall between 2004 and 2020, while Puerto Rico's population shrunk by more than 16%. That is a crisis. I think, maybe, he was just — it's a joke.

'Floating Island of Garbage'

Tony Hinchcliffe, a stand-up comic, said: "I don't know if you guys know this, but there's literally a floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean right now. Yeah. I think it's called Puerto Rico."

Trump senior adviser Danielle Alvarez told *Newsweek* that the "joke does not reflect the views of President Trump or the campaign."

'These Latinos, They Love Making Babies'

"Believe it or not, people, I welcome migrants to the United States of America with open arms. And by open arms, I mean like this," Hinchcliffe said, while waiving his hands and mouthing: "No, go back."

He added: "It's wild. 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."

'We Carved Watermelons Together'

Hinchcliffe also pointed to a man in the audience before saying: "That's cool, Black guy with a thing on his head. What the hell is that, a lamp shade? Look at this guy! Oh, my goodness. Wow! I'm just kidding, that's one of my buddies. He had a Halloween party last night. We had fun, we carved watermelons together. It was awesome!"

Harris Is 'the Antichrist'

"In fact, she is the devil, whoever screamed that out. She is Antichrist," said David Rem, a sanitation worker billed as Trump's childhood friend, although it has been reported the pair met for the first time just two weeks ago.

Harris and 'Pimp Handlers'

"Kamala Harris is the least qualified candidate to ever run for any political office in American history," businessman Grant Cardone told the crowd.

"She makes her boss look competent. She's a fake. I'm not here to invalidate her. She's a fake, a fraud. She's a pretender. Her and her pimp handlers will destroy our country. They will."

'Nazi rally'

"I just got back from Israel about two weeks ago. They love Trump in Israel. Just you know, they love him," radio personality Sid Rosenberg said.

"I get back and they go, 'Sid, you want to speak at this MSG thing?' I go, 'Sure—out of character for me to speak at a Nazi rally. I was just in Israel.' But I took the gig."

'Sick Son of a B****'

"She is some sick b******, that Hillary Clinton, huh?" Rosenberg said. "What a sick son of a b****. The whole f****** party. A bunch of degenerates. Lowlives, Jew-haters, and lowlives. Every one of 'em. Every one of 'em."

mad sq garden comic ref pimps?

NEW YORK — Donald Trump's rally at Madison Square Garden on Sunday opened with speakers who made racist, sexist and crass remarks about Vice President Kamala Harris and Puerto Ricans.

Why it matters:Crude comments at Trump rallies aren't new. But many speakers at the rally unleashed rhetoric unprecedented in modern American history so close to an election.

Zoom in:Businessman Grant Cardone told the crowd that Harris "and her pimp handlers will destroy our country."

Trump told the crowdthat the U.S. "is now an occupied country," again described Democrats as the "enemy from within" and exaggerated claims about a "savage" Venezuelan gang in the Denver suburb of Aurora, Colo.

The big picture: Several Democrats and even some Republicans told Axios they think the rally will wind up hurting Trump.

Trump's campaign argued that the ubiquitous media coverage of the New York event made it a strategic victory regardless of the headlines.

Trump's teamhas been brimming with a confidence that some Republicans fear is hubris.

Between the lines:During the rally, Harris was visiting a Puerto Rican restaurant in northern Philadelphia — providing a split screen to the scene at Trump's rally that was highlighted by Harris' campaign.

The bottom line: In the campaign's final week, Harris is betting that enough voters will be repulsed by Trump and his supporters' behavior to vote for her.

AN 10 24

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.'”

“That’s cool,” he said, “a Black guy with a thing on his head. What the hell is that, a lamp shade? Look at this guy! Oh, my goodness. Wow! I’m just kidding, that’s one of my buddies. We had a Halloween party last night. We had fun — we carved watermelons together. It was awesome!”

The New York Times called it: “Trump at the Garden: A Closing Carnival of Grievances, Misogyny and Racism.”

“The inflammatory rally was a capstone for an increasingly aggrieved campaign for Donald Trump, whose rhetoric has grown darker and more menacing,” the paper of record declared.

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.”

Suggesting the comment was “potentially…sinister,” Politico Playbook reported it “could be a reference to the House settling a contested election.”

Historian Heather Cox Richardson in her popular Substack newsletter wrote: “It seems possible—probable, even—that Trump was alluding to putting in play the plan his people tried in 2020. That plan was to create enough chaos over the certification of electoral votes in the states to throw the election into the House of Representatives. There, each state delegation gets a single vote, so if the Republicans have control of more states than the Democrats, Trump could pull out a victory even if he had dramatically lost the popular vote.”

“Since he has made virtually no effort to win votes in 2024,” she added, “this seems his likely plan.”

Professor of law Melissa Murray, a constitutional law expert and co-host of the Strict Scrutiny podcast, appears to agree.

“So, the plan is to have an Electoral College tie (which will likely require contesting swing state vote counts),” she writes. “A tie in the Electoral College will then require a vote in the House of Representatives, where the GOP, led by Speaker Johnson, has a (thin) majority….”

Harvard University Professor of Constitutional Law Emeritus Laurence Tribe, considered “the Nation’s preeminent constitutional scholar,” delivered a warning.

“At his racist MSG rally, Trump spoke of the ‘little secret’ he and Mike Johnson would unveil after the people’s Nov 5 votes have been cast. He made clear it would involve the House — and how he plans to use its 50’State delegations to wreak havoc and hand him back ‘his’ power.”

Attorney Jacob Glick, who served as investigative counsel on the U.S. House Select Committee on the January 6 Attack wrote: “Trump hinting at ‘secret’ with Mike Johnson to be revealed post-election.”

“Clearest indication yet that if Trump loses,” Glick added, “the plan is to sow enough doubt about election results in key states so that the House can declare a contingent election and proclaim Trump the victor.”

Constitutional and civil rights attorney Andrew L. Seidel, pointing to the clips of Trump’s remarks, wrote: “I *think* this was to Mike Johnson and, if so, he’s signaling that Republicans will try to do the thing that keeps me up at night: screw around with the Electoral College votes so that the House itself votes on the president instead. Each state gets one vote. Trump wins with 26.”

“This is known as the Contingent Election of the President and was—although many people still don’t fully realize it—part of the goal behind January 6th,” he added.

The Nation’s justice correspondent, Elie Mystal, pointing to the clip below, asked: “What is he confessing to here?”

During former President Donald Trump’s rally at Madison Square Garden in New York City, podcaster Tony Hinchcliffe attacked Puerto Rico, claiming it’s “literally a floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean.”

Although the remarks sparked outrage, numerous right-wing media figures have defended him. Some attacked critics for allegedly not having a sense of humor; others agreed that Puerto Rico is trash or dismissed Puerto Rico’s electoral relevance.

Here are numerous examples from the hours after Hinchcliffe made those racist remarks.

Donald Trump Jr.responded by reposting Hinchliffe’s defense that “these people have no sense of humor.”

Fox & Friends is Fox News’ morning show that promotes Trump and his agenda. During the program, co-host Lawrence Jones said: “Number two, maybe it’s just me, Ainsley, I have a dark sense of humor, you know, And so I, like … maybe this was not the appropriate format for the comedian to be there? But it’s comedy.”

Laura Loomer is abigoted podcaster who is heavily connected to Trump. She responded by wondering, “Did the managers at @unitedtalent UTA leak Tony Hinchcliffe’s jokes? And if they did, did they do so because he’s Pro Trump?”

Matt Walsh is a bigoted podcaster. He wrote: “I hope everyone appreciates the masterful strategy here. Trump is goading the Dems into spending their final week crying about jokes. They are absolutely taking the bait. They can't help themselves.”

The Hodgetwinsare pro-Trump podcasters who have met Trump. They wrote: “Democrats must be retarded if they think a famous comedian telling a joke about Puerto Ricans is gonna get them to flip their vote to Kamala.”

Will Chamberlain is a Republican commentator and strategist. He wrote: “Man, Trump is going to really struggle now to win Puerto Rico’s 0 electoral votes.”

Milo Yiannopoulos is the far-right and bigoted commentator who worked with Steve Bannon to help elect Trump in 2016. He responded by attacking Puerto Ricans, writing: “Two things a Puerto Rican just won’t do 1. Describe themselves as American, no matter how many generations of American citizens precede them 2. Set foot in Puerto Rico.” He also wrote, “I agree with the Democrats, Puerto Ricans are emotionally incontinent children who can’t take a joke”; and “If you’re wondering how bad Puerto Rico is Venezuelans won’t go there.”

Andrew Torba is the antisemitic leader of the racist social media platform Gab. He wrote: “What are all of those people doing in Pennsylvania instead of Puerto Rico? Is it some kind of island of garbage or something?”

Carpe Donktum, real name Logan Cook, is a pro-Trump account meme maker. He responded by writing: “I can't believe that Trump might lose Puerto Rico's electoral votes because of a joke. Thanks @TonyHinchcliffe, way to go.”

MSG fail 10 24 no pix twt

Popular, famous, and highly-influential Latino stars, and superstars including Bad Bunny, Luis Fonsi, Jennifer Lopez, and Ricky Martin, are lashing out at Donald Trump after his six-hour Madison Square Garden rally on Sunday served up racist, misogynistic, and antisemitic rhetoric. A New York Times headline described it as "Trump's racist rally."

The most-noted racist remarks came from a comedian, Tony Hinchcliffe, in an attack calling Puerto Rico a “floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean,” and saying, "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,” before talking about Black people carving watermelons.

The Trump campaign waited several hours before issuing a statement saying, “This joke does not reflect the views of President Trump or the campaign.” It was unclear why other racist remarks made throughout the event, including by Hinchcliffe, were not addressed by the campaign.

"Battleground Pennsylvania," NBC News reports, "where polling margins show a razor-thin race between Trump and Harris, is home to thethird-largest Puerto Rican diaspora in the country. Last month, the former president invitedPuerto Rican artist Anuel AA onstage at a rally in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, to publicly throw his support behind the Republican ticket."

Variety reports, "Bad Bunny, Jennifer Lopez and Ricky Martin were among the notable industry figures who boosted Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris on Sunday after a speaker at Donald Trump‘s political rally at New York’s Madison Square Garden called Puerto Rico 'a floating island of garbage.'"

"Bad Bunny, one of the world’s biggest music superstar[s] with more than 45 million Instagram followers, boosted Harris’ campaign video targeting voters in Puerto Rico and noting what a contentious relationship that Trump had with the island during his tenure in the White House. Lopez posted Harris campaign material targeted at Puerto Rico as well as the same video pitch that Bad Bunny boosted."

"Singer-actor Ricky Martin, with 18.6 million Instagram followers, did the same thing on his Instagram Stories feed, adding the comment 'I remember' on the Harris video. He also included a clip of Hinchcliffe’s 'garbage' comment."

Variety continued, reporting, "Luis Fonsi, the Puerto Rican singer who had a worldwide smash in 2017 with 'Despacito,' also reposted the Harris video and added a comment."

“We are not OK with this constant hate. It’s been abundantly clear that these people have no respect for us and yet they want our vote,” Fonsi wrote. “I purposely wrote this in English cause yes we’re American too.”

Political strategist, CNN commentator, and co-host of ABC's "The View," Ana Navarro, has two million followers on the social media platform X and is a highly-influential Republican.

"Today, @KamalaHarris released policy proposals to help Puerto Rico. On the other hand at the Trump rally, this is going on," she wrote, pointing to a clip of Hinchcliffe calling Puerto Rico a "floating island of garbage."

"But nah. They’re not piece of s--- racists who treat Puerto Ricans as second-class US citizens. It’s just our imagination. Puerto Ricans, pay attention!"

She also noted posted a screenshot of Bad Bunny's post, in which he shared Vice President Harris's proposal for Puerto Rico with his 45 million followers.

And, pointing to Hinchcliffe's racist remarks about Latinos making babies, Navarro wrote:

"Latinos, defend our community’s dignity.

Show some self-respect.

A vote against racism is a vote for @KamalaHarris."

Monday morning on "The View," co-host Sunny Hostin, who is Puerto Rican, served up a monologue strongly criticizing Donald Trump.

"This Puerto Rican has something to say about the island that I love, where my family is from," Hostin began. "Puerto Rico is 'trash'? We are Americans, Donald Trump. Americans. We voluntarily serve disproportionately high in the military, while you have bone spurs."

"And we vote."

"Pennsylvania is home to almost half a million Puerto Ricans. North Carolina, 115,000. Georgia, 100,000. Arizona, 64,000. Wisconsin, 61,000. Michigan, 43,000. Nevada, 27,000. We vote Donald Trump."

"Trash?"

"And by the way, Jennifer Lopez, Ricky Martin, Bad Bunny, Luis Fonsi, and Mark Anthony have over 345 million followers on Instagram. I think you only have 26 million, since you care so much about size. And we don't like what was said about Puerto Rico. And we know how to take the trash out Donald Trump. Trash that has been collecting since 2016. And that's you, Donald Trump. And finally, my fellow Puerto Ricans, trash collection day is November 5th, 2024. Don't forget it."

Former Fox News political commentator Geraldo Rivera let loose Sunday night:

"'A floating island of garbage…?' Referring to Puerto Rico??? 'Poisoning the blood of our nation…?' We have 'murder in our genes….?' Fuck these racists. Latino men of good will, have pride in yourselves and your ancestors. A vote for Trump is a vote against self-respect."

Monday morning he added: "Latino men, for the love of your parents and children, for your pride and your honor tell this little gringo s--- to go f--- himself."

PUBLIC NOT RUPAR

Lisa Needham

During a get out the vote call Monday, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. disclosed that “President Trump has promised me control of the public health agencies,” including the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Kennedy also said Trump plans to put him in charge of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA).

Trump has more of less confirmed this publicly. During his don’t-call-it-a-Nazi rally last Sunday at Madison Square Garden, Trump declared he would let RFK Jr. “go wild on health. I’m going to let him go wild on the food. I’m going to let him go wild on medicines.” (Watch below.)

RFK Jr. having so much power is a horrifying thought, as he touches all the bases when it comes to full-fledged conspiracy-mongering. Besides his anti-vax stance, he believes that 5G phone networks are being used for mass surveillance, that wifi causes chronic illness, that chemicals in drinking water are turning people trans, and that school shootings are increasing because kids take antidepressants. The guy shouldn’t be in charge of a local 7-Eleven, let alone running an array of powerful federal agencies regulating public health and medicine.

Kennedy is far from the only freak show Trump plans to empower in his second term.

Thanks to a leaked Trump transition planning document, everyone is now aware of the entirely depressing and predictable possibility that Judge Aileen Cannon might be Trump’s next attorney general.

And why not? Cannon gave Trump an incredible pre-election gift by slow-walking his classified document case and then throwing it out entirely back in July. She’s proven her worth and usefulness to Trump, exhibiting exactly the kind of moral flexibility required to serve in his cabinet.

...

Along with Bobby Kennedy, Trump is floating the name of another former faux-Democrat, Tulsi Gabbard.

:{Gabbard, who recently confirmed what everyone already knew — that she’s a Republican — is currently on the campaign trail stumping for Trump. According to Gabbard, Vice President Kamala Harris is the reason we are all “staring down the barrel of nuclear Armageddon” because she instigated the war in Ukraine.

This requires, of course, ignoring the fact that Russia started it openly and brazenly, but Gabbard has been a Putin fan for years now. Gabbard has said she wants a role in foreign policy in the Trump administration. Just what the foreign policy world needs: a backer of murderous Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad and brutal authoritarian General Abdel Fattah el Sisi in Egypt.
