Jennifer Lopez, campaigning with Kamala Harris on Oct. 31 in Nevada, said Donald Trump’s campaign had offended “every Latino in this county” following his rally at Madison Square Garden on Sunday.
Trump’s rally in New York saw a comedian Tony Hinchcliffe mocked Puerto Rico, describing the island as “a floating island of garbage.”
“There’s a lot going on,” Hinchcliffe stated during the event in Madison Square Garden. “Like, I don’t know if you know this, but there’s literally a floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean right now. Yeah, I think it’s called Puerto Rico.”
Lopez, whose parents were born in Puerto Rico, said: “At Madison Square Garden, he reminded us who he really is and how he really feels. It wasn’t just Puerto Ricans who were offended that day, okay? It was every Latino in this country, it was humanity and anyone of decent character.”
