I cannot recall the name of the so-called MAGA comedian who spoke over the weekend at that hate rally in Madison Square Garden.
I do recall what he said. He called Puerto an “island of garbage floating in the sea.” Dude was one of several pro-Donald Trump who took the mic at MSG to sing the praises of the cult leader.
I want to remind y’all of something. Residents of Puerto Rico are just as American as I am, as you are … and as the clown who denigrated them. They vote, too.
The island is home to about 4 million residents, roughly half of whom are eligible to vote. I do believe that Trump, the GOP nominee for president, can kiss most of those votes good bye.
We cannot count Puerto Rico as part of the Electoral College. The insult hurled at them on the island, though, well could splash ashore on any of the 50 states where Americans of Puerto Rican descent live.
I’m just sayin’ …
I’ll help you out. His name is Tony Hinchcliffe and Trump in one of his interviews said he disagreed with his comedic lines.
BTW, I was in Puerto Rico about five months ago to take a cruise. We got there a day before the cruise and took a day trip. It did look horrendous and unclean.
Although Hinchcliffe wasn’t wrong in his statement, I don’t believe should have said it in that environment.
