The Latinx community is infuriated following the crass remarks made by comedian Tony Hinchcliffe at a Donald Trump rally in New York on Sunday, October 27. At the political event held at Madison Square Garden this weekend, Hinchcliffe delivered several jokes leaning on racist stereotypes and even went as far as calling Puerto Rico “a floating island of garbage.”
Following the insensitive comments, social media erupted with criticism, and many Puerto Rican celebrities like Bad Bunny, Ricky Martin, Jennifer Lopez, and Sunny Hostin took the opportunity to voice their support for Vice President Kamala Harris and slammed Hinchcliffe.
Despite the fact that Puerto Ricans on the Caribbean island and territory of the U.S. are unable to vote in presidential elections, the Puerto Rican diaspora present throughout the U.S. can on November 5.
