Ahead of Donald Trump’s Tuesday appearance in the heavily Latino city of Allentown, Pennsylvania, a comedian’s racist joke about Puerto Ricans at the former president’s Madison Square Garden rally drew fresh blowback.
“However, the other five million who live in the United States, whom they also labeled as trash, can vote.”One of those five million Puerto Rican voters is Allentown resident Efraín Dávila.
Hinchcliffe made his racist jokes in an election cycle in which Republicans have said they are messaging to Latinos as Americans.
But the comedian at his rally attacked Puerto Ricans, who are American citizens at birth, not immigrants, said Mike Madrid, a Republican consultant who opposes Trump.
Madrid added that it is more difficult to waive off the comedian’s racist jokes, because they did not come from Trump.
