Comedian Tony Hinchcliffe Calls Puerto Rico 'A Floating Island Of Garbage' At Trump's MSG Rally In New York

Comedian Tony Hinchcliffe drew backlash with a joke calling Puerto Rico a floating island of garbage, at Donald Trump's Madison Square Garden Rally. U.S. Senator Rick Scott and Congresswoman Maria Elvira Salazar condemned the comment while praising Puerto Rican Americans. Hinchcliffe used offensive racial stereotypes, suggesting Latinos loved making babies and invoking a racist trope about Black people and watermelons. Kamala Harris revealed policies supporting Puerto Rico and received endorsements from Jennifer Lopez and Bad Bunny. Following seven years of migration to the mainland, Puerto Ricans have become the second-largest Latino subgroup.
