Donald Trump wanted his Nazi-style rally at Madison Square Garden, in New York City, the media capital of the world. And then he let out his MAGA movement’s ugly all-out bigotry. It wa his campaign’s biggest blunder, and it’s a big one. Even Republicans are freaking out.
One of the early speakers let loose with this racist gem: “There’s a lot going on. 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. I think it’s called Puerto Rico”
Right-wing “comedian” Tony Hinchcliffe literally called Puerto Ricans garbage. And … why? Because they think racism is funny. What shouldn’t be funny for the Trump campaign is that 3.8% of Pennsylvania’s population—467,000 people—is Puerto Rican. President Joe Biden won the state by only 80,555 votes in 2020. The stupidity of this “joke” cannot be understated, yet it serves as a stark reminder of just how much Trump republicans hate anyone that isn’t white men like them.
But other Latinos shouldn’t feel left out. He was just getting started: "And these Latinos, they love making babies too. Just know that. They do. They do. There’s no pulling out. They don’t do that. They come inside. Just like they did to our country." Those evangelicals who sold their souls in service of Trump? Congrats, now they’re on the team making ejaculation jokes at big political rallies.
And heck, if you’re going to go all-out racist, why hold back? Hinchcliffe also said, “That’s cool, a Black guy with a thing on his head. What the hell is that? A lampshade? …I’m just kidding. That’s one of my buddies. He had a Halloween party last night. We had fun. We carved watermelons together.”
