A Comedian Called Puerto Rico “Garbage” At Trump’s Rally, And This Host Of “The View” Is Livid
The internet is still trying to make sense of Donald Trump’s recent rally in New York City after it went viral for hosting a number of racist moments.
One of those moments came from comedian Tony Hinchcliffe who said, “I don’t know if you know this, but there’s literally a floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean right now. I think it’s called Puerto Rico.”
“We voluntarily serve disproportionately high in the military, while you have bone spurs. And we vote,” she said.

“Pennsylvania is home to almost half a million Puerto Ricans. North Carolina, 115,000; Georgia, 100,000; Arizona, 64,000; Wisconsin, 61,000; Michigan, 43,000; Nevada, 27,000. We vote, Donald Trump. Trash?”
“And by the way, Jennifer Lopez, Ricky Martin, Bad Bunny, Luis Fonsi, and Mark Anthony have over 345 million followers on Instagram. I think you only have 26 million. Since you care so much about size.”
“We know how to take the trash out, Donald Trump. Trash that has been collecting since 2016. And that’s you, Donald Trump.”
“And finally, my fellow Puerto Ricans, trash collection day is November 5, 2024, don’t forget it.”
And in a statement, Trump’s senior advisor Danielle Alvarez said, “This joke does not reflect the views of President Trump or the campaign.”
