Melania Trump took the Madison Square Garden (MSG) stage front and center to introduce former President Donald Trump at his sold-out New York Rally.
On Sunday, the 45th president held a rally at MSG with multiple guests who joined him and spoke before his appearance.
Biotechnology entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy took to the stage railing against “genital mutilation” on children.
“Our message to gay Americans tonight is this: you’re free to marry whomever you want … without the government standing in your way. But that doesn’t mean that boys get to compete with girls in girls’ sports or [that] you do genital mutilation and chemical castration on our children.”
He went on to praise Trump as the man to unify the country.
“Donald Trump is the president who will unite this country. We don’t talk about that enough,” he said. “America First includes all Americans, regardless of their race, their gender, or their sexual orientation.”
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. also made an appearance, stating that the Democratic Party is not what it used to be and saying that he did not “leave the Democratic Party, the Democratic Party left [him].”
“A lot of people ask me why I left the Democratic Party, and I say, ‘I didn’t leave the Democratic Party, the Democratic Party left me. This is no longer the party of Martin Luther King, of Robert Kennedy or John Kennedy. It was a party of peace,” he said.
He discussed women in men’s sports and noted that his relative, former Senator Ted Kennedy (D-Mass.), was the driving force behind Title IX, which prohibits sex-based discrimination in any school or education program receiving federal funds.
One of Trump’s guests was SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, who encouraged everyone in the room to vote for Trump and make this victory big.
He also introduced the former First Lady to the stage, who went on to introduce her husband.
