While those in Puerto Rico are not allowed to vote in presidential elections despite being U.S. citizens, they stay in close touch with relatives on the mainland and can be a powerful influence.www.adn.com
This is likely the worst Trump has seen since the Access Hollywood "Grab em by the *****" comment. I'll bet he never apologizes for this one. It's almost as if he's trying to lose.Backlash after comedian at Trump rally calls Puerto Rico 'island of garbage'

Trump tells MAGA that America is a shithole and sucks and y'all clap, agree, and beg for more.Puerto Ricans have a sense of humor contrary to the belief of Democrats,
Read the comments!
The speech is the kinda you just wanna skip!
Except for “Kegger gone awry!”Just to drop an anecdote, last time I renewed by passport the guy that interviewed me was Puerto Rican. I had been stationed there when I was in the service and commented how much I enjoyed being there. His comment was that, while it was a great place, it was so corrupt that he would never go back.
In the 90s, when I was stationed there, I had the opportunity to work with a certain division of the Puerto Rican police. They spent most of their time dealing with issues in public housing projects in Rio Piedras, rooting out Dominican criminals that had come there and chasing down people that were cutting gold to sell to tourists. They also busted a local police chief that was found to have so much cash stashed in barrels in his back yard that we weighed it instead of counted it. It's a beautiful island in most places but, at least at that time, the corruption was everywhere. Would I ever call it an island of garbage? Heck no, but every joke has an element of truth to it.
Apparently, George Lopez made a joke at Harris rally about "ALL MEXICANS BEING THIEVES!"
Lol - that's even worse than the island of garbage joke!

Nobody's attributing the joke to Harris. or, Walz!
Why should we attribute it to her?
It's a poor look for someone running for President as well. Demonstrates poor decision making.Why do y’all make racist jokes then pretend the usual backlash is surprising? Like y’all would have loved black face.
Hinchliffe is a good Puerto Rican name!Do you understand the difference between a self deprecating joke aimed at your own ethnicity versus roasting other races, ethnicities, and religions?
You've got a problem with Medalla?Except for “Kegger gone awry!”
Who is “y’all” and have you ever heard Democrat rhetoric?Trump tells MAGA that America is a shithole and sucks and y'all clap, agree, and beg for more. If a Democrat had said that, MAGA would be screaming for the democrat to be exiled from the country.
You would think. But Trump is racist. He doesn't care because he knows it appeals to a vast majority of his voters.Well for someone running for President of the United States, they probably should vet their content to make sure there aren't racist jokes because a candidate probably wouldn't want those optics.
Even worse than the island of garbage joke? Yeah, go ahead and believe that like you believe Trump won the 2020 election. You MAGAs are hilarious.Apparently, George Lopez made a joke at Harris rally about "ALL MEXICANS BEING THIEVES!"
