During a recent rally at Madison Square Garden, comedian Tony Hinchcliffe made controversial remarks about Puerto Rico, calling it a 'floating island of garbage', which were not denounced by former President Trump. The comment has ignited widespread outrage, particularly among the over 472,000 Puerto Ricans in Pennsylvania, where local leaders believe it could bolster Vice President Kamala Harris' support among Latino voters. Victor Martinez, a Spanish-language radio host, noted that the backlash has mobilized Puerto Rican voters who were previously disengaged. The Trump campaign has attempted to distance itself from Hinchcliffe's remarks, stating they do not reflect Trump's views, yet many see it as a reminder of Trump's past insensitivity towards Puerto Rico, especially following Hurricane Maria. GOP leaders in regions with significant Puerto Rican populations have also condemned the comments, highlighting the potential electoral consequences in a crucial swing state. As the situation unfolds, Puerto Rican voters are increasingly vocal about their discontent, leading to planned protests during Trump's upcoming rally in Allentown.
