Bad Bunny expressed his support for Vice President Kamala Harris shortly after comedian Tony Hinchcliffe made derogatory remarks about Puerto Rico, stating, "There’s so much at stake in this election for Puerto Rican voters and for Puerto Rico," highlighting the importance of political engagement for the community and the significant issues at play.
The backlash against Tony Hinchcliffe's comments extended beyond artists, with GOP members like Angel Cintron and Maria Elvira Salazar criticizing the remarks. Salazar asserted, "Disgusted by @TonyHinchcliffe's racist comment calling Puerto Rico a floating island of garbage. This rhetoric does not reflect GOP values," emphasizing that such language is unacceptable regardless of political affiliation.
Luis Fonsi, in response to the hateful rhetoric, stated on Instagram, "Going down this racist path ain't it. We are not OK with this constant hate... It’s abundantly clear that these people have no respect for us," illustrating the collective outrage felt among Puerto Rican artists and the demand for respect.
In a statement regarding Hinchcliffe's comments, Trump campaign spokeswoman Danielle Alvarez emphasized, "This joke does not reflect the views of President Trump or the campaign," underlining the importance of distancing the campaign from racist rhetoric, regardless of its nature.
