Puerto Ricans are sounding off after "comedian" Tony Hinchcliffe stood on a stage at Madison Square Garden at a Donald Trump rally and proceeded to refer to their homes as an 'island of garbage' - and their anger may lose him some of those Hispanic votes he's counting on.

 

“There is literally a floating pile of garbage in the middle of the ocean right now. I think it’s called Puerto Rico," Hinchcliffe announced to the stadium, to laughs from the audience.

Those laughs aren't sitting well with the Puerto Ricans all around the U.S. who are born citizens. "If our people are good to serve in the military, die for this county, then why are we still considered not good enough to be treated with respect?" asks Jackeline Sanchez, a chemical engineer who lives full time in Puerto Rico.

Oh look some don't care!  I guess that means all Puerto Ricans don't!  Right?  That's what that means?  He's got a tweet backing him up so it must be true.

They stepped in it bad with this one.  It's MAGA's "deplorable" moment.  

 

Compare that to the deplorable last four years. A drop in the ocean by comparison.

 

This "news" will be tomorrow's pastrami sandwich wrapping.

 

Prepare for the bloodbath - Nov 5. Or migrate to Canada. 

 

It's a win-win either way.

If all of the smart people leave this country, then for whom shall you dig ditches?

Democrats know it.  
 

This is pathetic.  
 

 

We'll find out in a week or so.  In the meantime, I suspect that you would feel differently if you knew what "cocotazo" means.  The people that do . . . are angry, and they're coming out to vote.

Harris has been turning the screws on Trump over the remark.

The vice president on Monday cited Trump’s New York event as having “highlighted a point that I’ve been making throughout this campaign. … He is focused and actually fixated on his grievances, on himself and on dividing our country.”

Her campaign also launched a digital ad aimed at Latino voters that began with Hinchcliffe’s words and asserted that “Puerto Ricans deserve better.”

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), who is of Puerto Rican descent, described the Madison Square Garden rally as a “hate rally” during an interview on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” on Monday morning.

On social media, Ocasio-Cortez hit back at Hinchcliffe’s defense that “these people have no sense of humor” and that his joke had been “taken out of context to make it seem racist.”

The New York congresswoman accused the comic of “feeding red-meat racism alongside a throng of other bigots to a frothing crowd.”

The reaction from the Trump campaign — and from the GOP more broadly — suggests they are well aware of the potential damage from the furor.

Trump campaign senior adviser Danielle Alvarez told media outlets that the comic’s comments did not “reflect the views” of the former president or his campaign.

Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.), whose state is home to more than 1 million people of Puerto Rican descent, responded almost instantly to the controversy on Sunday evening, with a post on the social platform X saying that the joke was “not funny and it’s not true.” 

Poor @Irv

Any one (out side of the haters) that have or actually USE any type of common sense can recognize a joke when they here it, but the haters are looking to grab ahold of any little thing they can & twist it to use in their narrative of hate towards any one that disagree's with their stance politically .

 

SURPRISE !!! Not really ...
