A bad joke couldn’t have come at a worse time in a Senate race most public polls have said is competitive, as a comedian who goes by “Kill Tony” didn’t do the Trump campaign any favors.
Sen. Rick Scott was compelled to respond to a joke told by an undercard speaker at Donald Trump’s rally in New York City Sunday, stressing his affinity for Puerto Ricans after a comedian disparaged the “island of garbage.”
“This joke bombed for a reason. It’s not funny and it’s not true. Puerto Ricans are amazing people and amazing Americans! I’ve been to the island many times. It’s a beautiful place. Everyone should visit! I will always do whatever I can to help any Puerto Rican in Florida or on the island,” Scott posted to social media.
“There’s a lot going on. Like, 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,” comedian Tony Hinchcliffe said.
Per The Hill, Hinchcliffe also said Hispanics “love making babies” with “no pulling out.”
“They don’t do that. They come inside. Just like they did to our country,” he said.
It remains to be seen how adverse the comic’s routine will be for the Trump campaign’s outreach to Hispanics, but expect Democrats to exploit the unforced error through the election.

Not only that. Trump’s rally at Madison Square Garden on Sunday opened with a standup comic who called Puerto Rico an “island of garbage” in a set that also included derogatory remarks about Latinos generally, African Americans, Palestinians and Jews.
This is America’s Republican Party showing its true colors.

You are jumping on any train that doesn’t have Trump. I’ve been traveling to Puerto Rico for nearly 35 years. It is a huge welfare state. If you Dems are successful in granting them statehood one day, they will fit right in.

I essentially make about $9,000-$13,000 every month on the web. It’s sufficient to serenely supplant my old employments pay, particularly considering I just work around 10-13 hours every week from home. I was stunned how simple it was after I attempted it duplicate underneath web…..

Say, Ed/Impeach/Day, where’s your 12 year old buddy that calls everybody “libturd”? When he grows up he can be like Hinchcliff!
Yes, Hitler made the trains run on time, kind of the same as “I like his policies!” Go for it, cry more about the price of gas, it will be FREE if Trump gets elected, right?

Bro I guess you haven’t visited the island recently. They are getting full of white people. The east of the island has been purchased by investor from USA. If you go to a restaurant in that area you have to speak English. Things have changed for that island and it is going the same road Hawaii was with the native displaced by the white population. One of the former former governors in Puerto Rico created a law so people born outside the island can invest in by providing free tax or a 3% when purchasing a property but the Puerto Rican living there have to pay 33%. So how about that? And you are here saying $h!t about welfare? You have no clue what you are talking about.

The Republican Party MUST be totally destroyed before it can be rebuilt from the ground up.
There is no GOP avenue for a reset.
Republicans are America’s worst enemy!
Vote all Republicans out of office.

He should not disregard the Spanish -American war. It’s partly the creation of Puerto Rico

Somehow the stock market is at an all time high, unemployment is near an all time low, inflation is coming down, a predicted recession didnt happen, crime is down despite the claims, and America is recovering from the pandemic quicker than the rest of the world, but you go ahead and vote for the guy who says we’re a trash can, a failing state, and dont forget your bear spray, zip ties, and flag pole if he loses. There’s a few windows your pals didnt break and lots of furniture to poop on.

Good evening America,
We want Rick to win because he’s a Republucan.
OTHER THAN THAT:
We cant control what he says or thinks. We want his seat to remain Republican.

Call them “terrorists” too, GOPers.
Didn’t a few Puerto Rican separatists shoot into Congress from the balcony in the mid-1950s?

Trump slow walked aid to Puerto Rico after the devastating hurricane then had the gall to toss paper towels at a crowd gathered to hear what he’d say.
And now this? If you’re Puerto Rican and still plan on voting for this racist you’ve got rocks in your head.

The truth is, This is exactly how the GOP feels about minorities. The comedian thought he could actually say it and hide behind “Its a joke”. They all believe it but they are politicians so they don’t say it.
