Trump’s Puerto Rico fallout is ‘spreading like wildfire’ in Pennsylvania

Donald Trump has a serious Puerto Rico problem — in Pennsylvania.

 

'Many Puerto Rican voters in the state are furious about racist and demeaning comments delivered at a Trump rally. Some say their dismay is giving Kamala Harris a new opening to win over the state’s Latino voters, particularly nearly half a million Pennsylvanians of Puerto Rican descent.'

Why would Trump have the problem?  We all have seen the video.   Trump never made the comments.  Fact.

 

 

 

The Leftist Mission: GET TRUMP BECAUSE TRUMP.

I hope the Puerto Ricans in all the swing states rise up and tell Trump what they really think of him on November 5th. He's the guy that called Puerto Rico "dirty" and wanted to trade it to Denmark for Greenland.

   Isn't Puerto Rico actually rather dirty ?

Some unknown comedian made the comments.  I’ve never heard of him.  Most posting here most likely have never heard of him.   Trump’s never heard of him.


You don’t think the unknown comedian should be the one under the wrath of the leftist and those in P.R.?

 

I suppose the fact that Trump has done more for P.R. than any other president has no merits with the leftists.


What I do know for a fact is Biden’s quote saying Trump supporters are garbage came directly from the Big Guy’s mouth.  Biden himself.

 

 

I agree Trump didn't tell the joke. But what's important is how did Trump react after the fact. It was huge news all over the media and internet. It took Trump more than 24 hours to say anything let alone show sympathy or apologize for the remarks made at HIS rally. All the speakers' remarks are usually vetted beforehand. So how did Trump respond? In his usual fashion of not taking any responsibility for anything negative. 

 

"I don't know him. Someone put him up there. I don't know who he is." -- Trump

 

Just like he didn't take any  responsibility for his administration's poor response to COVID. Trump may have sat behind the Resolute Desk but he sure did lose Harry Truman's sign that said, "The buck stops here."

 

And just like Trump didn't tell the joke...Harris didn't call Trump supporters garbage.

You may be an old, fat, bald man with B.O. but do you want people telling you that?

LOL!

Listen to the audio. He knew exactly what he was saying. He is a bitter, angry old man.  This is what he said;

 

“The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters... his, his demonisation of Latinos is unconscionable."

 

Two separate thoughts. One about the supporters, one about his supposed demonisation of Latinos.  It is perfectly clear. 

This has been clarified. You know perfectly well Biden is a gaffe machine. Yet you cynically put an intention on him that he did not have. Maybe the maga fascists will buy this lie, but most proud Puerto Ricans will not.

 

“Earlier today I referred to the hateful rhetoric about Puerto Rico spewed by Trump’s supporter at his Madison Square Garden rally as garbage — which is the only word I can think of to describe it,” Biden said on X. “His demonization of Latinos is unconscionable. That’s all I meant to say. The comments at that rally don’t reflect who we are as a nation.”

President Biden

Yeah, but this was no gaffe- a gaffe is a slip of the tongue or calling someone the wrong name. This was clearly said in anger.  So maybe Puerto Ricans are a bit miffed at Tony Hinchcliffe, but half of the voting public is miffed at being called "garbage". I guess he was trying to out-do Hilary and her famous "basket of deplorables" disaster.

You're wrong. It was a gaffe of initial lack of clarity of what he was trying to say.
