Puerto Rican voters in Virginia respond to controversial joke at Trump rally

Comments made by comedian Tony Hinchcliffe that have a lot of people still talking. That conversation is happening in our area too.

I am a latino and I was no so happy with that comedian insulting Puerto Rico. But for me it is more insulting when the media call me Nazi.

[Jerry-Falwells-Poolboy]

A watermelon joke in 2024? Good lord, we're devolving.

[yvettebarmard]

I am Puerto Rican and let me say that Trump did send support however our government kept the food and water in storage containers. Get the facts before accusing people!!! Our own people hurt the people!

[denisesanchez]

It’s disturbing that some Puerto Ricans on here condone this kind of joke.

[lisacooper]

They knew exactly what they were doing....we ain't falling for the BS. I guess the comedian is taking one for the team

[choctawgypsy]

If these are the only jokes about Puerto Rico people have ever heard, they don’t know Puerto Ricans.

[richardsoto]

As a Puerto Rican 🇵🇷 this changes NOTHING. I'm still voting for Trump ALL DAY!!!

[YeTism]

Jokes don’t matter more than real issues

[hwells]

You can't condemn and celebrate people at the same time

[MilagrosDominguez-wmnt]

This comedian just did something for the citizens of Puerto Rico.
He called out there currupt government and politicians.

Now maybe something will get done for those people.

[AngelaShawWestoven]

It wasn't a joke. It's heartfelt sentiment of the Republican party. Trust.

[JohnBlackMD]

99.9% of all US born peurto Ricans agree with Tony's joke.

[elvisp]

They never should have let that fool Hinchcliff near the mic.

[RicoBeenSuave]

I’m from Villalba, Puerto Rico 🇵🇷. Stick and stone might break my bones but words will never hurt me. Puerto Ricans are masculine men, we are not sensitive to bad jokes made by a comedian. I’m voting for Trump.

[Conservewood]

Anyone offended was already planning to vote for Kamala

[justal]

And why aren’t they living in Puerto Rico? It was a joke. He made fun of a lot of people, including Trump.

[rudyyanez]

It’s funny how the guy was talking about Puerto Rico fighting for independence from the US while literally living in the states like wtf bro go fight for your country

[tonyray]

Some people couldn’t see a muddy elephant in a snow storm 🌨️

[teddyjackson]

Comedian tells off color joke; one of many: pearl clutching commences.

Call Trump and supporters Nazis nonstop for months:
Crickets

[bigoz]

I'm Puerto Rican the joke was flat badly delivered but not only did I understand it I've LITERALLY been saying it for years and not as a joke PERIOD!
