Chicago Puerto Rican residents react to racist joke made at Trump rally

Two days after a comedian at a rally supporting Donald Trump made racist jokes about Puerto Rico, members of Chicago's Puerto Rican community are calling for action. Conservative defenders said when one invites an insult comic to an event, they should expect insulting things to be said.

I wish that Black people will stand together. We were degraded as well. We need to be one nation under God fighting Racism!

Joe Rogan was the genius who suggested Trump should use Hinchcliffe. Absolutely hilarious.

People saying this trump didn’t say this. BRO it’s TRUMP rally! and his joke was review by organizers yet organizers are ok with it.

Today all Latinos are Puerto Ricans. This Cuban supports PR and all Latinos. VOTE HARRIS AND
LETS GET RID OF THE RACIST FOREVER!

I was born in Chicago. I watched Alex Dryer and the News now in California. I am appalled at the Trump rally and the low class, no class people at the rally. I stand with Puerto Rico.

That guy isn't even a comedian. Just some intern for Joe Rogan.

[trompito]

Even more reason to vote for Kamala Harris!

[mikenetherlin]

[JavierNunez-br]

That's how trump loses this election..

[cjc]

Is Trump going to say he never met the comedian? Is he going to deny he knows anything about this? Is he going to deny he was at MSG? I wouldn’t put it past him.

[goodfoodladies]

the crowd booed the remark. why don't these people check it out. isn't it their job to find the whole story. it's like a minute.

I live in Philadelphia and the Puerto Rican community over here is fired up and look like they will be voting 🟦 on November 5th.
