A comedian at a Donald Trump rally, Tony Hinchcliffe, sparked outrage by calling Puerto Rico a “floating island of garbage.” This comment drew criticism from both Republicans and Democrats, who labeled it as racist.
Hinchcliffe’s remarks were condemned by notable GOP figures, including US Congresswoman Maria Elvira Salazar and Senator Rick Scott, while Vice President Kamala Harris also denounced the joke. This controversy arose alongside Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny’s endorsement of Harris for president.
