Tony Hinchcliffe's Racist Remarks Trigger Outrage

At a recent Donald Trump rally in New York, comedian Tony Hinchcliffe made derogatory comments about Puerto Rico, referring to it as a 'floating island of garbage,' which sparked outrage among politicians and celebrities alike. Vice President Kamala Harris is actively courting Puerto Rican communities in swing states like Pennsylvania, and following Hinchcliffe's remarks, reggaeton star Bad Bunny publicly endorsed her campaign. Many Puerto Ricans, feeling like second-class citizens despite being U.S. citizens, expressed their anger over Hinchcliffe's comments, viewing them as yet another humiliation for the territory. The Trump campaign distanced itself from Hinchcliffe's remarks, stating they do not reflect the views of the campaign or the president. The backlash has also led to condemnation from various celebrities, including Ricky Martin and Jennifer Lopez, who highlighted the need for respect toward Puerto Rico. This incident could significantly impact the upcoming presidential election as both parties seek to secure the Latino vote.
