U.S. Vice-President Kamala Harris and New York representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez have condemned comments made by a comedian at a New York City rally for former president Donald Trump on Sunday.

While attempting to warm up the crowd before Trump took the stage, American comedian Tony Hinchcliffe disparaged Latinos and Puerto Ricans after calling the U.S. state a “floating island of garbage.”

"I need people to understand that when you have some a-hole calling Puerto Rico floating garbage and know that that's what they think about you,” Ocasio-Cortez said during a web conference with Vice Presidential candidate Tim Walz.

Speaking to reporters in Maryland, Harris called the comments “nonsense,” before reiterating her dedication to serving the people of Puerto Rico.

The Trump campaign said Hinchcliffe’s comments do not "reflect the views of President Trump or the campaign,” though Trump himself has not addressed on the remarks.

I'm offended by how bad the reporting by Global News truly is.

This coming from the people that called it a Nazi Rally the day before. The difference is: this was a joke.

It was a lame joke told by a comedian not Trump, and PR does in fact have well documented issues with garbage. But hey... any excuse to be outraged while accusing the other side of being Nazis or some variation of - ophobe.
What a deplorable state America is in.

This is why Global News has to beg the Canadian government for your tax dollars

I'm shocked Global actually left the writing on the screen saying it was a comedian, frankly. George Lopez just made fun of Mexicans on Saturday at a Democratic rally... crickets by MSM. No wonder legacy media is going extinct, as it should.

What scandals are going on in Canada currently? How about reporting on domestic news for a change…

How is this not illegal? To only show a small clip and take it out of context is not journalism and I can’t wait for Global News to get defunded.

He is a comedian and it was absolutely hilarious, these media outlets want us divided.

That Puerto Rican comment is unbearable coming from a side who calls everybody a Nazi or a white supremacist if they go to a Trump rally. Good on you Global for your honest and hard hitting journalism 😂😂😂

The comedian did not say that people from Puerto Rico were garbage. It said it had a garbage problem which it does.
