The Trump campaign and other GOPer’s are running AWAY from the Madison Square comedian diggs at Latino’s as fast as they can…
Never mind the lation’s who say they don’t care….
Cause?
Other’s DO……
A Trump campaign adviser sought to distance the former president and his operation from a racist joke about Puerto Rico delivered by a speaker at former President Trump’s New York City rally Sunday, amid swift backlash from both sides of the aisle.
Comedian Tony Hinchcliffe, who goes by Kill Tony, delivered a set hours before Trump spoke that included inflammatory attacks on Puerto Ricans.
“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,” Hinchcliffe said, eliciting mixed reactions from the crowd.
At another point, Hinchcliffe said Latinos “love making babies.”
“They do. There’s no pulling out. They don’t do that. They come inside. Just like they did to our country,” he said.
“This joke does not reflect the views of President Trump or the campaign,” senior adviser Danielle Alvarez said in a statement.
Other Trump allies also pushed back against Hinchcliffe’s comments about Puerto Rico…..
…
Nearly a million Puerto Ricans live in swing states
The Trump campaign has worked hard since Sunday’s rally to clean up remarks made by comedian Tony Hinchcliffe, who called Puerto Rico a “floating island of hot garbage.”
Wondering why former President Donald Trump’s presidential campaign was so quick to rebuke a racist joke targeting Puerto Rico at Sunday night’s Madison Square Garden rally? The 900,000 Puerto Ricans scattered across this election’s battleground states may have something to do with it.
According to estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau, more than 470,000 people of Puerto Rican descent live in Pennsylvania, 132,000 in North Carolina and 124,000 in Georgia. Tens of thousands more are living across Arizona, Wisconsin, Nevada and Michigan.

According to The Bulwark Hinchcliffe was going to call VP Harris a cunt but Trumps campaign staff cut it off.
So calling Puerto Rico garbage and saying blacks carve watermelons for Halloween made the cut?
Scott P says
And that Hispanics like to “cum inside” was also given the green light by the cracker jack Trump campaign.

Trump’s Puerto Rico Fallout ‘Spreading Like Wildfire’
“Donald Trump has a serious Puerto Rico problem — in Pennsylvania,” Politico reports.
“Many Puerto Rican voters in the state are furious about racist and demeaning comments delivered at a Trump rally. Some say their dismay is giving Kamala Harris a new opening to win over the state’s Latino voters, particularly nearly half a million Pennsylvanians of Puerto Rican descent.”
New York Times: Puerto Ricans in Philadelphia are angered by bigoted remarks at Trump rally.

This is the inflection point that takes the race from the close Harris win polls show to Harris winning to a landslide.
Ghost of SE says
*winning in a landslide
My Name Is Jack says
There is no evidence of Harris winning by a landslide.
Ghost of SE says
I mean, people were actually talking about Trump making large gains among Hispanics. For a while, there was some validity to this. The Madison Square Garden rally now makes me think Harris could replicate Obama’s 40+% margin from 2012.

Trump just canNOT stop his anger at people not kissing his BIG UGLY ASS
Scott P says
That Rick Scott and other Republicans in Florida immediately distanced themselves tells you how much of a problem this is for the GOP. Now the head of the Puerto Rican Republicans is threatening to withhold the party’s endorsement of Trump unless he apologizes. The Archbishop of San Juan has also denounced the Trump campaign.
And where is Trump tallying today? Allentown, PA a majority Hispanic city with a huge Puerto Rican population.
Not where a campaign needs to be in what is pretty much a must win state a week before the election.

Trump.….“I don’t know him, someone put him up there. I don’t know who he is,” Trump told the ABC News’s Rachel Scott in an interview published on Tuesday….
Speaker Johnson…
“People are bombarding all of us Latinos that happen to know that we’re Republicans, asking us ‘Why? How that can happen? Who vetted these people who were speaking?’” Mercado-Arroyo said.
Johnson echoed a number of other Republicans with his response.
“I don’t think the stupid comments of a comedian that were ill-thought will make any difference,” he said….
Megyn Kelly…
Kelly said Trump is “hemorrhaging female voters,” and said the rally in New York City was an opportunity for the former president’s campaign to “clean up the bro talk just a little, so you don’t alienate women in the middle of America who are already on the fence about Republicans.”
Kelly, a vocal supporter of Trump, said she wasn’t offended by anything said at the rally.
“I’m almost unoffendable, but I understand how this plays, especially with women, and it was an effed-up choice,” she continued. “They took what was an amazing celebration of Trump, exciting and well-attended and hugely enthusiastic, and gave themselves a big black eye.”….
