Puerto Rican Outrage Trump Joke, Residents of the Fairhill area in North Philadelphia, which is home to a thriving Puerto Rican community, were outraged by a joke that was made at a recent Donald Trump event. When comedian Tony Hinchcliffe called Puerto Rico a “floating island of garbage,” local Puerto Ricans and officials reacted negatively. In a crucial swing state where the Latino vote is crucial, many residents think the remark could hurt the Republican campaign.

Local neighbor Ivonne Torres Miranda highlighted Puerto Rican patriotism and dignity by saying, “You don’t joke like that.” The Harris team took advantage of the moment, with Vice President Kamala Harris denouncing Trump for inciting hatred, while the Trump campaign swiftly distanced themselves from the statement.

Some Democrats have seen the joke as a potential advantage, with supporters like Jessie Ramos asserting that it might help Harris win the election. Over 470,000 of Pennsylvania’s 600,000 eligible Latino voters are Puerto Rican, giving them a crucial demographic in the close contest.

During her recent visit to Fairhill, Harris outlined a policy agenda for Puerto Rico that included promises of improved disaster relief and economic growth. Although it’s unclear how much the joke will influence voting choices, local business owner Dalma Santiago said it won’t be forgotten.

Moses Santana and other neighborhood members expressed cynicism about politicians of both stripes, believing that neither party had adequately addressed urgent local issues. Trump’s fans did not like the humor either. Puerto Rican Republican voter Jessenia Anderson termed it “deeply offensive” but said she is still loyal to her party and asked for a more considerate attitude toward Latino voters.
