And they can't say they didn't know what he was going to say because it was on the teleprompter so they had to know in advance. Just vile and sickening to my stomach.

Trump used the same language to describe the entire country.. he said " "America is a garbage dump " during some of his stump speech. Why is the campaign saying the view doesn't reflect their campaign.

When somebody tells you who they are, believe them.

It is so hurtful what they said about a gorgeous place, with incredible people. To summarize them all as “garbage” is malicious, vile, and repugnant. Puerto Rico, I’m so deeply sorry. You don’t deserve this type of hatred and vitriolic behavior. Bless you all.

When they show you who they are, believe them!

They showed their true colors over and over

I saw a trump ad that states "trump is for you." The Only thing trump is for Is For Himself. The only reason he is running for president Is to stay Out of prison.

This young lady has such a wonderful way of just telling it like it is. She cuts through the BS and gets right to the point. 👍👍

Yep they messed up l agree they invited all those speakers to that trump rally and they were very aware on what they all were going to say

Republicans forgot Puerto Ricans are American citizens, and can vote if they live in the states.

[valeriearrindell]

From paper towels to garbage they mean every word, Puerto Rico we love you vote 💙💙🔵

[rhoff]

We have your back, Puerto Rico. Vote in favor of your interests!

PENNSYLVANIA HAS A HUGE PUERTO RICAN POPULATION.

Hit the nail directly on the head. AOC is such a powerful speaker and it's little wonder why the GOP wants her to shut up.

[sa.]

No, calling people garbage and suggesting the assassination of kamala while laughing ''innocently'' are not jokes. They are deeply disturbing manifestations of who these people truly are at their core, of how angry they are and of what they represent.

[cheshireket]

The reality is that it's been nearly 8 years of bullying and namecalling.

So all of us are tired of the "jokes."

TELL TRUMP AND THE COMEDIAN THAT PUTERO RICO IS A TERRITORY OF AMERICA!

A vile “comedian.” A vile “candidate.” A vile CULT - no quotes.

Let them run their mouth. That way, we all can see exactly who they're. Vote early! That way your vote has already been counted. Before he hollers fraud on November 5th.
