At a New York rally, comedian Tony Hinchcliffe faced backlash for making racist remarks about Latinos and Puerto Rico, sparking outrage among politicians and celebrities.
Hinchcliffe drew a connection between Puerto Rico and garbage, saying, 'There's literally a floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean right now. I think it's called Puerto Rico.' This comment, likened by critics to Trump's past remarks regarding immigrants, highlighted the insensitivity towards Puerto Rican issues.
The response to Hinchcliffe's comments was swift, with figures like Kamala Harris condemning his performance as a 'vile, racist tirade.' This reflects a broader concern over the normalization of such rhetoric in political discourse.
Hinchcliffe's remarks were part of a series of racially charged jokes that included derogatory stereotypes about Latinos, Black Americans, and Jewish individuals, leading to widespread disappointment and condemnation from both sides of the political aisle.
