Vance says 'let's have a sense of humor' after comedian's Puerto Rico comment

If its not offensive why are you trying to distance yourself from the guy who said it and his comments?

[Pbs]

It’s not so much a joke - but the fact that it was so normalized and okay for such a joke to be said at a presidential campaign

[nathaliarivera]

No no no...is unacceptable. I was born in New York but my heritage is being Puerto Rican, I can assure you, Sir, my Island is not a floating trash. What might mean a JOKE for you Sir, is an insult to thousands if not millions of Puerto Ricans. An apology should be done immediately, because, sadly to say, it might cause all the hard work of former presiden Trump being President in a few days and you being VP. Think before you speak and don't mind us as fools.

My sense of humor will begin when the mega trash are a thing of the past!

[gregreeder]

The problem is that this is not a time to be funny! America people are in need of a Leader who will do right by the people.

“It was a joke”….”just having a little fun”….. the excuse cruelty and ignorance used to backtrack when called out. Trashing people is the only thing they know how to do. They’re desperate.
Criminals use that excuse all the time.

I honestly think they're cracking "jokes" like that as an insult to the black and Latino supporters. It's like a low-key way of telling them they don't matter and just want their vote.

J D smooth it over. Puerto Rican's, send trump a message next week.

[josequiroz]

There goes the momentum… also, the watermelon joke was a death sentence for the campaign.

So I would asume that if some Puerto Rican states the USA is a big heap of trash you would approve because it’s comedy . USA was
also supported by the blood of Puerto Rican people who gave there life for liberty . Puerto Ricans have been part of the USA military and have proudly given their lives for this country. To state that Puerto Rico is trash is an insult . Our country gives us freedom of speech but this was added to our constitution in a time that our founding fathers knew that there was a national pride and that people would use this liberty to express themselves but with respect and honor .They never thought we would come to this -calling a country who are USA citizens trash .
We the people of PR honor our flag as well as the flag of the USA. We have historically proven this with our lives .
No comedian should have a right to trample our honor nor our flag to get a laugh . Trump should be held responsible for this .
To all our veterans around the world serving our country- speak up for what you fight for and represent. Give respect and honor to your Puerto Rican brother in arms who have fought alongside you and will continue to fight for what USA stands for .

I expect Vance's wife to file divorce papers by Christmas time. Now THAT will be funny!

[jenniferamyx]

They didn’t talk about how to solve the peoples’’ problems at MSG!! Shady Vance is out of touch with his own campaign.

[TimShelton-nw]

He wouldn't know what a sense of humor was if it bit him on the ars

[annhall]

We are sick ofc Vance and Trump spewing hatred. It was hardly a joke.

[thekingofwaffles]

Ok.... Sense of humour? That's kinda sick for a sense of humour isn't it? It's actually flaguent disrespectful for the party to have someone to speak at one of their events. Especially for a presidential rally so close to election day. As a registered GOP member you can rest assured that *Trump* will not continue to get any support for this kind of behavior.

Madison Square Garden doesn't hold that many people and a crowd of that size outside would have be illegal
