“Comedian Tony Hinchcliffe, one of the openers for former President Donald Trump at his Madison Square Garden rally on Sunday, referred to Puerto Rico as ‘a floating island of garbage’, part of a series of crude remarks by speakers at the highly anticipated rally.”

Donald Trump held a rally in Madison Square Garden in the deep blue city of New York City, and one of his opening speakers, comic Tony Hinchcliffe, proceeding to tell an ugly anti-Puerto Rican joke in a city that over half a million Puerto Ricans call home.

The racist comedian also told this anti-Latino comment disguised as a joke:

“And these Latinos, they love making babies too. Just know that. They do. They do. There’s no pulling out. They don’t do that. They come inside. Just like they did to our country.”

Hinchcliffe is infamous for his racist wisecracks; he was dropped by his agent for hurling an anti-Asian racist slur at a fellow comic on stage. Hinchcliffe wasn’t chosen as an opening speaker in spite of his history of racism, but because of it, the organizers of this MAGA shitshow knew that his racist brand of racism would resonate with Trump supporters.

Hinchcliffe, like most of Trump’s sycophants, follow the lead of their Dear Leader, who mocks, ridicules and condemns migrants, Latinos, blacks, and other marginalized communities.

I trust that the majority of Puerto Ricans in New York City, and the over half a million Puerto Ricans in the swing state of Pennsylvania, and indeed most Americans who find the thought of a racist commander-in-chief intolerable will vote for Kamala Harris.
