UNITED STATES

Authorities in Washington, D.C. arrested two suspects for allegedly assaulting a police officer near Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign rally on Tuesday night.The Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) told Fox News Digital that the arrests took place at around 7:00 p.m. in the area of 17th St. and Constitution Ave., Northwest, which is located a few blocks south of the White House.The suspects – one man and one woman – were arrested right outside the perimeter of the Ellipse, the park where Harris held her rally. The campaign event was ongoing at the time of the arrests, with Harris taking the stage at around 7:40 p.m.An MPD spokesperson said that an individual “attempted to cross a police line near the intersection of 15th Street and Constitution Avenue, Northwest.” 17th St. and 15th. St. along Constitution Ave. are the west and east corners of the Ellipse, respectively.BATTLEGROUND STATE OFFICIALS SAY FOREIGN ENEMIES USING MISINFORMATION TO ‘UNDERMINE’ DEMOCRATIC PROCESS”The individual ignored the officer’s commands,” the official explained. “As officers attempted to remove the woman, she began assaulting the officer.””A second individual approached the officers from behind, and assaulted them,” the statement added. “Both individuals were placed under arrest without further incident and charged with Assaulting a Police Officer. The arresting officers were not injured.”It is unclear if the arrestees were Harris supporters, protesters or were unaffiliated with the rally. At least one protester was detained at the event amid pro-Palestine demonstrations.Protesters were seen wearing keffiyehs and holding signs that read “Stop Arming Israel,” and “Stop U.S. Funding of Israeli Apartheid,” in the crowd. The MPD did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s inquiry about protesters being arrested.TRUMP MERCHANDISE OUTSELLS PRO-HARRIS MERCH BY STRIKING MARGIN, AS ELECTION DAY DRAWS NEAROn Tuesday, the Lincoln Project made an ill-timed post about the rally on X. The group criticized former President Trump for making the Ellipse “a crime scene.””Kamala Harris Closing Arguments Rally on the Ellipse tonight,” the post read. “4 years ago Trump made it a crime scene, but tonight Kamala is making it the launchpad for a new way forward.”Fox News Digital reached out to the Harris campaign for comment.D.C. authorities are actively investigating the incident. No additional details are known at this time.

Fox News host Jesse Watters looks at similarities between Vice President Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign and President Biden’s and wonders what happened to the “joy.”JESSE WATTERS: So you just heard from Kamala Harris making a pretty dark and tedious final pitch to voters just one week before Election Day. The Harris campaign looks a lot different than it did this summer. That joy must have left its luggage in Chicago, because now that we’re in the home stretch, Kamala is missing something. …JON STEWART ADMITS HE FINDS WIDELY CRITICIZED TRUMP RALLY COMEDIAN FUNNYRepublicans are winning the early vote in North Carolina and Georgia for the first time in history. Trump’s inner circle telling Axios, “We’ve never had data that looks this good.” Trump’s confident. And Harris, claiming she’s confident but has a lot of problems. When she said she wouldn’t do anything differently than Biden. She really meant it because she’s even campaigning like Biden. We’re starting to realize the joy campaign – people were just joyful she wasn’t Joe. Her closing message was Joe’s message, “Trump’s a dictator.” That message wasn’t working for Joe. That’s why he got whacked. But for some reason, they think it’s working for Kamala. …Everything in the country is more dangerous, disorganized and expensive. …She says she’s the candidate of change and she’s giving her closing speech in Washington, D.C., at the Ellipse, the site of Trump’s Jan. 6 speech. A week before the election and Kamala isn’t in the battlegrounds she’s in D.C. talking about January 6th. And even though she’s giving the speech right in front of the White House, Biden’s not invited.

President Biden went viral Tuesday night for comments disparaging Trump supporters as his No. 2, Vice President Kamala Harris, made a major speech to voters calling for unity from the Ellipse right outside the White House. During a virtual Harris campaign call with Voto Latino, Biden took a swipe at former President Trump’s rally in Madison Square Garden, which made headlines after insult comedian Tony Hinchiffe made jokes mocking different ethnic groups, with one joke referring to Puerto Rico as a “floating island of garbage.””The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters,” Biden said. “[Trump’s] demonization of Latinos is unconscionable and it is un-American.”JON STEWART ADMITS HE FINDS WIDELY CRITICIZED TRUMP RALLY COMEDIAN FUNNYThe comment quickly went viral and sparked swift condemnation from critics. “This is disgusting,” Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance reacted. “Kamala Harris and her boss Joe Biden are attacking half of the country. There’s no excuse for this. I hope American reject it.””Kamala Harris was deeply outraged by a comedian’s joke. If she has any decency or integrity, she will condemn her partner Joe Biden’s despicable statement calling half the country garbage,” Sen Tom Cotton, R-Ark., said. “Woof. Calls half the country ‘garbage’ while Harris speaks,” CNN contributor Scott Jennings said.”Well there he is. So outraged by Tony the comedian that the sitting president borrows the garbage characterization to apply it to half of America. I imagine the cable news set will be all over this tomorrow, right?” Ruthless podcast co-host Josh Holmes wondered.”Just amazing that Biden managed to completely step on Kamala’s speech in the worst way possible,” Fox News contributor Joe Concha said.”Shades of Hillary’s deplorables… I repeat: Lots of 2016 vibes in this election,” Jewish Insider editor in chief Josh Kraushaar wrote.TOP PUERTO RICAN OFFICIAL ENDORSES FORMER PRESIDENT AFTER COMIC’S RALLY SET RUFFLES FEATHERSA White House spokesperson told Fox News “The President referred to the hateful rhetoric at the Madison Square Garden rally as ‘garbage.’” The Harris campaign did not immediately responde to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.Biden’s comment comes in stark contrast to the message Harris had to voters in what many have called her final sales pitch to the American people ahead of the election. “I pledge to seek common ground and common sense solution to make your life better. I am not looking to score political points. I am looking to make progress. I pledge to listen to experts, to those who will be impacted by the decisions I make and to people who disagree with me,” Harris said. “Unlike Donald Trump, I don’t believe people who disagree with me are the enemy. He wants to put them in jail. I’ll give them a seat at the table.”This will be updated as the story develops. Fox News’ Yael Halon contributed to this report.

Former President Trump said he has “no idea” who comedian Tony Hinchcliffe is after the comic ignited a firestorm of controversy over the weekend at his rally in New York City’s Madison Square Garden, calling Puerto Rico a “floating island of garbage.””I have no idea who he is. Somebody said there was a comedian that joked about Puerto Rico or something. And I have no idea who it was. Never saw him. Never heard of him, and don’t want to hear of him. But I have no idea,” Trump told “Hannity” in an interview set to air Tuesday at 9 p.m. ET. “They put a comedian in, which everybody does, you throw comedians in, you don’t vet them and go crazy. It’s nobody’s fault. But somebody said some bad things.”Hinchcliffe received a wave of condemnation and criticism from both sides of the political aisle, including from Republican Florida Senators Rick Scott and Marco Rubio and Florida Reps. Carlos Gimenez and María Elvira Salazar.Danielle Alvarez, a senior adviser to the Trump campaign, said in a statement to Fox News Digital that the Puerto Rico joke “does not reflect the views of President Trump or the campaign.”TRUMP, POWERHOUSE GUESTS ROCK PACKED MSG WITH HISTORIC RALLYTrump doubled down on his knowledge of Hinchcliffe, telling Fox News host Sean Hannity, “Now what they’ve done is taken somebody that has nothing to do with the party, has nothing to do with us, said something, and they try and make a big deal. But I don’t know who it is.””I don’t even know who put him in, and I can’t imagine it’s a big deal. I’ve done more for Puerto Rico than any president I think that’s ever – that’s ever been president,” Trump claimed.Puerto Rican singer Bad Bunny shared a campaign video from Vice President Kamala Harris to his millions of followers on Instagram in the wake of the crass joke about her plans for the U.S. territory.The Harris-Walz campaign took aim at Trump for his administration’s “failed” preparation and response to Hurricane Maria in 2017, which devastated the island and left thousands dead.”Trump did not acknowledge the scale of Puerto Ricans’ suffering—instead, he patted himself on the back and lied about the death toll while most of Puerto Rico lived without clean water and electricity. Rather than deliver meaningful relief for Puerto Ricans, he visited the island to toss paper towels at a crowd,” read a portion of the campaign’s four-page plan for Puerto Rico.Popular Puerto Rican rapper and singer Don Omar, who boasts millions of followers across his social media platforms, announced Tuesday he is supporting Harris.BIDEN CASTS VOTE IN DELAWARE, CALLS TRUMP’S MADISON SQUARE GARDEN RALLY ‘SIMPLY EMBARRASSING’”Puerto Rico is my homeland and my identity, and today, more than ever, I raise my island’s flag with pride. Hearing such racist and disdainful words directed at my home and at Latinos is heartbreaking. Trump has shown us, time and again, what he thinks of us, and the thought of him and his administration back in power is deeply concerning,” he wrote in a post on X, formerly Twitter. Norberto Dominguez, a precinct captain with the local Democratic Party in Allentown, Pa., which is home to a large Puerto Rican population, told Politico that Hinchcliffe’s comments were “spreading like wildfire through the community.””It’s not the smartest thing to do, to insult people — a large group of voters here in a swing state — and then go to their home asking for votes,” Dominguez said.Trump is slated to hold a campaign rally at the PPL Center in Allentown on Tuesday night.
