Evelyn Hockstein | ReutersVice President Kamala Harris on Monday dismissed the "nonsense" spouted at Donald Trump's campaign rally in New York City a day earlier, which included a racist joke by comedian Tony Hinchcliffe about Puerto Rico.
The superstar singers Bad Bunny and Lopez, who are Puerto Rican, highlighted Harris' support for Puerto Rico in social media posts after Hinchliffe took a swipe at the U.S. territory.
The vice president released a plan Sunday to "build an opportunity economy for Puerto Rico" by creating a task force to foster economic growth on the island.
