It wasn't just Puerto Rico. These news stations also need to report the racist comments towards Blacks, Jewish, & Muslims that were made.

Stand up against hate and lies. Speak up against hate and lies.

My son is half Puerto Rican and those comments don’t belong in a presidential stage or in general.

[bernice]

I'm Mexican but now I'm a Puerto Rican. I stand for Puerto Rico!!! 🙏 This distasteful 'joke' opened our eyes to see beyond the sweet talk and promises from this political party, now, we are all 'gathering' together against such a low and awful behavior, pretending it's a joke, still thinking that people are fool to believe that, no way! We need a unified and strong country, with a wise president that indeed care for we, the people, not divide people and care about himself, his friends and family. No!

The sad part is that you will find PRs for Trump, Latinos for Trump, Blacks for Trump, Muslims for Trump, etc. No dignity, self-respect, or pride.
