“If you saw Madison Square Garden, I mean come on. … like, right?” Rivers said, via Sports Illustrated “So, to me it’s so important to vote. I’m gonna keep it as close to that as possible. But gosh. When I tell people, if the guy was so great, why did 80 million people vote against him the last time he ran.

“I don’t know. I don’t get it. But we gotta do something about — that was atrocious what we saw. If you’re a Black man or woman, Brown, Latino or Puerto Rican or — they hit everybody. And it was awful.”

Rivers’ comments came after he appeared in an ad supporting Vice President Kamala Harris. In the ad, he was calling plays for second gentleman Doug Emhoff.

“I’m just hoping people who are already sold on him for whatever reason, I can’t figure it out… The ones that stay home and don’t vote are the ones that worry me because we need everybody to vote. I hope that they won’t stay home, that they’ll understand that this guy is a scam artist. He’s great at it. I’ll give him credit for that. He’s the best ever, but he makes you want to puke.”
