    The day after Donald Trump hosted what Some critics have called a demonstration in New York “racist”his running mate, JD Vance, took one last stand in Wisconsin, encouraging voters to go to the polls.

    Sunday’s event, held at Madison Square Garden, was billed as the launch of Trump’s final stance, heading into the final seven days before Election Day. But several of the special guests invited to speak made comments that even the Trump campaign rejected.

    Vance addressed the swing state of Wisconsin after the rally. He stopped first in Wausau to deliver remarks to supporters in the early afternoon at an airplane hangar, then headed to Racine in the early afternoon and spoke to a crowd of about 600 people.

    Here’s what you should know about your visits to Wausau and Racine.

    Vance ‘didn’t listen’ to racist comments made at Trump rally in New York

    Vance spoke in Wausau about Trump’s Sunday rally was held at Madison Square Garden in New York.calling it a “celebration of America,” even though other Republicans have called out the apparently racist comments and jokes made during its six-hour run.

    Sunday’s event kicked off with comedian Tony Hinchcliffe, host of the “Kill Tony” podcast, according to a Politico report who referred to Puerto Rico as a “pile of floating garbage in the middle of the ocean.”

    “I haven’t seen the joke,” he said, even though he attended the rally. “I’m not going to comment on the details of the joke, but I think we need to stop getting so offended by every little thing in the United States of America. I’m just over it.”

    Vance criticized the backlash against the rally, which some have characterized as a World War II Nazi rally.

    “Honestly, I find it funny that Kamala Harris thinks the men who stormed Omaha Beach would want Taxpayer-funded gender transition surgeries for illegal aliens. “That’s why those guys stormed the beaches of Normandy, because they wanted to open the southern border of the United States,” he said.

    “That’s not what they wanted at all. They wanted common sense. They wanted freedom. They wanted freedom. They wanted someone who would protect the Constitution.”

    Trump also took aim at immigrants at his New York City rally, vowing to eliminate the “enemy within,” Politico reported. Trump called for the death penalty for immigrants who kill a U.S. citizen or law enforcement officer.

    While Vance also attacked immigrants on Monday, repeating oft-used phrases that they are taking jobs and homes from American citizens, he attempted to soften the heat generated by the weekend demonstration.

    “Our country was built by frontiersmen who conquered nature, we are not going to restore the greatness of American civilization if we are offended by every little thing,” he said. “Let’s have a sense of humor, have some fun and win in eight days.”

    At the end of the rally, Vance was asked about the tone of Sunday’s rally and whether he was worried heading into the final days of the campaign. When asked about the racist jokes, Vance downplayed it.

    Vance on Trump’s “plan” for mass deportation of illegal immigrants

    On Friday, Johnson said mass deportations under the Trump administration are not going to happen.

    “There will not be a mass deportation of 10 million people,” Johnson said Friday. “There won’t be.”

    Johnson said Republicans must be “realistic” when it comes to those who are undocumented but have not committed any other crimes. His comments come into direct conflict with the Trump campaign.

    The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel asked Vance in Racine if he agreed with Johnson, but he did not directly answer the question. He said he spoke with Johnson about not deporting millions of undocumented people.

    “First, we have to stop the large influx of illegal immigration, and that is done by building the wall, reimplementing deportations and stopping Kamala Harris’ ridiculous catch-and-release policy,” Vance said.

    He went on to say that violent criminal immigrants should be deported, but that others, if Trump returns to power, will also be deported.

    “You can’t say that every person who came here illegally can stay in the United States of America,” Vance said. “If you do that, then you won’t have a real border. So, yes, we are going to deport people who came to the United States illegally. We have to do it or the American people will suffer.”

    Vance said it should be more difficult for undocumented immigrants to work in the country.

    “We want legal residents and citizens to work in this country, not illegal jobs,” Vance said, adding that he has spoken with local law enforcement agencies that want to work with the federal government on immigration issues. “We empower our law enforcement to do their jobs and make it harder for illegal aliens to work in this country. I think it would go a long way toward solving the immigration problem.”

    “They have to come the right way”

    Beyond violent immigrants, Vance spoke about other problems he perceives with the influx of undocumented immigrants at his campaign stop in Racine.

    “We don’t talk about the fact that we often welcome people to this country who don’t speak their native language,” Vance said.

    Vance also blamed illegal immigrants for emergency room wait times that are “skyrocketing.”

    “I don’t blame anyone for wanting to come to the United States of America,” he said. “But first of all, they have to follow the right path.”

    In Wausau, Vance says he ‘feels good’ about Wisconsin

    Vance rallied voters at the central Wisconsin airport outside Wausau, where he said he watched Trump win the state next week.

    “I feel very good about where we are, but knock on wood, because I’m a little superstitious,” he said. “But I think the path we’re really going to take is going to allow us to win Wisconsin, win Michigan, win Pennsylvania and really take this country back in a big way.”

    He encouraged attendees to “vote 10 times” by going to the polling station with nine other people.

    “We have to make sure we flood the vote, because if we don’t, we will have Kamala Harris as president of the United States,” he said. “And I don’t want to have four nightmare years for the United States of America. I want to return to the peace and prosperity of Donald J. Trump.”

    Vance also encouraged his supporters to vote early if possible. Early voting in the state began last Tuesday, and so far, polling places have seen an influx of those seeking to have their ballots filled out early.

    Until Friday of last weekMore than 292,000 people had voted, an increase of almost 40% over 2020.

    Senator Ron Johnson calls for Kaul’s impeachment

    U.S. Senator Ron Johnson was in Wausau with Vance and opened his speech by criticizing Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul for Investigating Wausau Mayor Doug Diny to remove a voting box.

    “This is the action of thugs in jackboots,” Johnson said of Kaul’s office.

    Johnson went further to say that Kaul is going too far in his investigation of former Dane County Judge Jim Troupis, who was involved in Wisconsin’s Fake Voter Plan in 2020.

    Johnson said Kaul’s office is trying to imprison Troupis and impoverish him.

    Johnson then called on state Rep. Cory Tomczyk, R-Mosinee, and others in the Assembly to “impeach Josh Kaul.”

    Tomczyk said Diny is “in the crosshairs of liberals” and compared this particular investigation to the John Doe Investigation of Former Governor Scott Walker almost 10 years ago.

    “We no longer live in the country we did 25 years ago,” Tomczyk said. “If we don’t get this right on November 5, we may never again see the country we once knew and loved.”

    Tomczyk’s speech turned dark as he talked about the attorney general’s investigations and Trump, adding: “we could be next.”
