Donald Trump is appearing before supporters in Allentown, Pennsylvania, today as fallout mounts over his racist Madison Square Garden rally, which included this now-viral, so-called joke from right-wing comedian Tony Hinchcliffe.
Tony Hinchcliffe: “There’s a lot going on. Like, I don’t know if you guys know this, but there’s literally a floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean right now. Yeah, I think it’s called Puerto Rico.”
Allentown is a majority-Latinx city, home to 34,000 Puerto Ricans. Pennsylvania state is home to 450,000 Puerto Ricans. Puerto Rican celebrities including Bad Bunny and Ricky Martin showed their support for Kamala Harris following the comments.
