UPDATED: About That Puerto Rico Slur….

Alicia Colon: About That Puerto Rico Slur….  . . ."Naturally, Puerto Rican Democrats like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez are chomping at the bit to capitalize this racist gaffe for their own flagging campaigns and I wouldn’t be surprised to learn that they knew beforehand this would occur.

"Trump and other Republicans have rightly condemned the comments made by this ersatz comedian but they need to emphasize the distinction between legal and illegal immigration and offer plans to improve the government's legal immigration process, which takes forever.

It is no secret that minorities like Blacks and Hispanics are waking up to the lies and fake policies of the Democrat party which historically has blatant ties to racism which go ignored by the lamestream media." . . .

 Harris Releases Television Ad Highlighting Racist Comments About Puerto Rico Said During Trump Rally at Madison Square Garden

 . . ."Mr. Hinchcliffe, a Texas comedian who is close with Joe Rogan, described Puerto Rico as “a floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean” during his opening set at the Garden, just hours before the former president took the stage. Other cracks included a remark about Black people “carving watermelons” for Halloween and the sexual proclivities of Latinos. 

"The ad, which the Harris campaign released on Monday afternoon, opens with a video of Mr. Hinchcliffe’s comments as he is standing behind a Trump–Vance 2024 placard. Ms. Harris then speaks to the camera as photos of a devastated Puerto Rico post-Hurricane Maria in 2017 roll across the screen." . . . 

Props to @JonStewart for admitting he finds @TonyHinchcliffe funny.
“I find that guy very funny. I’m sorry, I don’t know what to tell you. I mean, bringing him to a rally and having him not do roast jokes? That’d be like bringing Beyoncé to a rally and not … " pic.twitter.com/Y3ZFCnRtDb

 'Garbage': Why they hate Trump supporters  . . ."Meanwhile, it appears the Harris campaign may have roped in Joe Biden to defend them.

"But that may not be true.

"Axios recently reported that Harris is distancing herself from Biden because of his unpopularity and that it reminds people of the past. An unnamed insider called it a 'slow-moving break-up' between Harris and Biden.
Perhaps Biden voluntarily decided to help out.
Biden raged against Hinchcliffe’s joke about Puerto Rico being a “floating island of garbage” by claiming “the only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters....”

UPDATED:  Trump’s Madison Square Garden Event: Where’s the Discipline?

. . ."According to the RealClearPolitics national polling average, Trump is ahead of   Harris by 0.1 percentage points, which means the race is within the margin of error. So when I witness a colossal blunder within days of Nov. 5, I shake my head.

"Last week, Harris was losing moral ground when she accused Trump of being a “fascist,” but this week, even Trump supporters have to consider this unforced error and wonder: Where’s the discipline? Where’s the decency?"   Debra J. Saunders 

UPDATE: Biden and WH Desperately Try - and Fail - to Clarify His CommentsCalling Trump Supporters Garbage  "Joe Biden might just have formally ended Kamala Harris' campaign on Tuesday night. The Democrats were trying to go all in attacking the Trump rally at Madison Square Garden, demonizing it as a "Nazi rally" and criticizing what a comedian said there about Puerto Rico. But then Biden blew all that away in his criticism by calling Trump supporters "garbage," as we reported earlier. Politico then tried to spin what he actually said but was caught because video was released showing what he actually said.  '
