Melania Trump Delivers Surprise Remarks In Rare Appearance At Donald Trump’s Controversial Rally

Melania Trump made a rare appearance at her husband Donald Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally in New York City on Sunday, Oct. 27, and she even delivered brief remarks. The former first lady introduced Trump in her first rally speech this election cycle. The 54-year-old had also attended the Republican National Convention in the summer, though she did not speak there. Trump’s controversial rally quickly made headlines, especially after comedian Tony Hinchcliffe issued several offensive jokes, including one about Puerto Rico. “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. I think it’s called Puerto Rico,” he said. His words drew outrage online, including from Kamala Harris, Republican politicians, and even the Trump campaign distanced itself, with senior advisor Danielle Alvarez telling NBC News,“This joke does not reflect the views of President Trump or the campaign.” Plus, after the moment, Bad Bunny, Jennifer Lopez, and Ricky Martin all took to social media separately to show their support for Vice President Kamala Harris.
