Democrats escalate attacks on Trump after comedian calls Puerto Rico "floating island of garbage"

A comedian named Tony Hinchcliffe spoke at a rally for former President Donald Trump, making comments that were widely criticized as offensive. The remarks included a joke about Latinos "loving to make babies" and describing Puerto Rico as a "floating island of garbage". The backlash was swift, with politicians and Latino celebrities expressing outrage on social media. Vice President Kamala Harris described Trump's rally as "more vivid than usual", and President Joe Biden called it "simply embarrassing". The Trump campaign has since distanced itself from Hinchcliffe's remarks, with Mayor Eddie Moran stating that they are "polluting our elections". The incident highlights the influence of Latino groups in Pennsylvania, with some analysts suggesting that it could have a significant impact on the state's electoral outcome.
