"The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters ... his his his demonization of Latinos is unconscionable and it's un-American," Biden said in the video, denouncing a comedian's joke at a rally for former President Donald Trump that referred to Puerto Rico as a "floating island of garbage." . . .

"North Texas mayor who was born in Puerto Rico says a comedian’s joke about the U.S. territory at a rally for former President Donald Trump this weekend hasn’t eroded his support for Trump.
"Texas-based comedian and podcaster Tony Hinchcliffe, speaking at a rally for Trump at Madison Square Garden in New York this weekend, referred to Puerto Rico as a “floating island of garbage.”
"Hinchcliffe’s other jokes Sunday ranged from the birth rates of Latinos to the debunked "eating dogs and cats" controversy in Ohio and to a swipe at the island nation of Puerto Rico.
"The comments were quickly condemned, including by some Hispanic Republicans, Vice President and Democratic nominee for president Kamala Harris, a Dallas comedian who says he was the target of similar rhetoric during an encounter with Hinchcliffe in 2021, and the likes of Jennifer Lopez, Bad Bunny and Ricky Martin.
" 'It is absolutely something that is intended to and is fanning the fuel of trying to divide our country," Harris said.
"But Keller Mayor Armin Mizani, an attorney who was elected mayor of the Tarrant County city in 2020 and says he was born and raised in Puerto Rico, took to social media Monday to explain his continued support for Trump.
“For Latinos, faith, family, and economic opportunity motivates us – not some bad joke by a comedian,” Mizani wrote. “Under the Biden and Harris administration, Americans have seen record inflation, an open southern border, increased crime, the weakening of the family structure, and the taking away of God from our daily lives. In contrast, under President Trump, Americans saw secured borders, economic prosperity, a respect for people of faith, and a respect for American values.' ” . . .

"But while the chapter chose not to tighten its anti-Zionist requirement for endorsement seekers this weekend, it passed a resolution strengthening its own commitment to Palestinians and rejection of Israel.
"The measure reaffirms the chapter’s commitment to the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement, calls for “political, economic, and social equality between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea,” and proposes treating candidates’ financial backing from the American Israel Public Affairs Committee like funding from the National Rifle Association, of which mainstream Democrats widely disapprove.
"The unsuccessful effort to fortify the chapter’s anti-Zionist demands of its endorsees ahead of the November election and next year’s citywide Democratic primaries infuriated some DSA members.
" 'I am ashamed we won’t hold our electeds to an anti-Zionist line by imposing real consequences,” one activist, going by the username @girlcloudnine, posted on X." . . .
