Tucker Carlson’s Controversial Appearance at Trump’s Madison Square Garden Rally

Tucker Carlson was among the notable figures who attended and spoke at former President Donald Trump‘s rally at Madison Square Garden on Monday. The event, which Trump described as a “love fest,” was marked by controversy and criticism from various quarters.

During the rally, Carlson made remarks that drew significant attention and criticism. He referred to Vice President Kamala Harris using a derogatory description, which was followed by a high-pitched laugh. This comment was part of a broader pattern of hostile and inflammatory rhetoric directed at Harris by several speakers at the event. Jon Stewart, in his segment on ‘The Daily Show,’ highlighted these comments, expressing outrage at the tone and content of the speeches.

Carlson’s appearance and comments were particularly noteworthy given his past criticisms of Trump. In texts from January 6th, Carlson had described Trump as a “demonic force” and a “destroyer,” and expressed a strong personal dislike for him. However, his recent alignment with Trump has been seen as a significant shift, with critics accusing him of lacking consistency and integrity.

The rally itself was characterized by many as “unhinged, vulgar, and racist,” contrasting sharply with the typical events held at Madison Square Garden. The event drew a crowd of 20,000 and featured a range of speakers, including Hulk Hogan, Dr. Phil, and Melania Trump, among others.

The backlash against the rally was swift, with several late-night hosts and commentators criticizing the event for its hostile and divisive tone. Jon Stewart, Seth Meyers, and Jimmy Fallon all weighed in, highlighting the stark contrast between the rally and the usual atmosphere at Madison Square Garden.
