The lawmaker, who is of Puerto Rican origin, called the remarks ‘super upsetting’. Hinchcliffe spoke at a rally held by the Trump campaign in New York’s Madison Square Garden where he also made racist jokes about Latinos. The event had drawn comparisons to an infamous Nazi rally held at the arena in 1939. Speaking to reporters in Maryland, Kamala Harris reiterated her support for Puerto Ricans, and recalled Trump’s response to Hurricane Maria, which was widely criticised

  1. Trash Problem Overview

    The Puerto Rico trash problem has been growing for decades. With a population of around 3.2 million, the island generates about 3.7 million tons of waste yearly. Despite being small, the island’s landfills are full and there’s no proper recycling infrastructure. This trash crisis affects everything from health to the economy so solutions are crucial for Puerto Rico’s future.

    I plagiarized this comment from an online article. The comedian has been there. At least understand the joke. And if anyone votes for a president based on a comedians joke, then that person shouldn’t be allowed to vote.

  2. Not only are the news media DEAD SILENT about the equally offensive joke at the Harris rally, you can't even FIND it on YouTube. Every single time we get this double standard, more people vote Trump to send a message to the media-political establishment.

  3. It's a roast 🤣🤣 But Tony's not wrong though 🤷🏾‍♂️ The Biden-Harris government did nothing to fix this trash issue and now they're crying over a joke. Hypocrites!

  4. OMG! How ignorant is AOC? If she knew anything about the island she identifies as her heritage, she isn’t up to date on the news, it’s been a problem for 4 years! He commented on the landfills and some of the worst garbage contamination issues with microplastics!
    Basically the Biden Harris administration is letting the island rot. He actually called out an ecological disaster! He said island, didn’t say it’s people.

  5. Trump had absolutely nothing to do with Tony Hinchcliffe being there or what came out of his mouth. Nobody has control over what anyone else says. Trump did not put him there. What Tony said was inappropriate. Donald Trump has proven history time again this is not what he represents and he strongly disapproves of this talk. Put it in perspective, folks! Put the blame on Hincliffe, not Trump!

  6. I am a Puerto Rican woman that was offended by his so called "joke" I hated that he called us garbage however that is not going to stop me from voting for Trump because I agree with his policies. I've been hurt worse by Biden and Kamala on a more personal level. The comedian's words may have offended me but I'm not crying about it or nor am I going to change my vote. I and my beautiful Boricuas are not garbage no matter who they choose to vote for. And Alexandria she has so much hate in her heart, I can't trust a signal thing she says.

  7. If you know anything about this comedian he did this on purpose to get trump to lose votes. And that's the main focus is for trump and his weak pathetic group of minions to lose boats

  8. A COMEDIAN made A JOKE about Puerto Rico’s serious waste landfill problems and SOMEHOW it’s Trump’s fault. This seems desperate. Ask Puerto Ricans what their opinions are on the waste management crisis in their country. Get ready for the facts.

  9. How can you insult a people, a Puerto Rican community that you want to be its president, a worthy president should not be as openly racist as Donald Trump, hide the natural he naturally comes back at a gallop, Donald Trump is a pathetic racist.

  10. The comment about Puerto Rico is deplorable

    AOC, regardless, is deplorable

    She is an insult to intelligence, taken directly out of the theatre of the absurd

    Bashing Israel while admitting she needs to learn more about it

    If she wasn’t young and photogenic, she wouldn’t have been elected to begin with

  11. Its facts!!!
    AOC acts like shes for the peopel!!
    So many successful people came from puerto rico and left!! Because puerto rico is trash just like AOC!!!
    Bad bunny has money to fix the trash problem, ricky martin has money to fix the trash problem, jlo definitely has money to fix the trash problem in puerto rico
