A campaign rally for former President Donald Trump at Madison Square Garden drew outrage due to a speaker's jokes about Puerto Rico.

The most hilarious part of Tony Hinchcliffe's speech was the way his career disintegrated on live TV. 😂😂😂
💙🔵🗳💯🇵🇷🇺🇲

To all my Hispanic brothers and sisters…they disrespected you RIGHT TO YOUR FACE!!!

Another speaker said blacks don't carve pumpkins for Halloween - they carve watermelons.
They were letting it all hang out yesterday.

last minute wake up call for all of you "Latinos for Trump"/"Mexicans for Trump" / "Blacks for Trump"/ "Asians for Trump/ "Cubans for Trump" /Jews for Trump" They are now saying the quiet parts out loud about how they really feel about you, did you think make America great again included you really you couldn't have been that naive

[connielopez-parker]

Hell, hath, no fury! Why did he choose Puerto Ricans a week before the election, but this will backfire! 🇵🇷

[Agoncor]

I’m puertorrican and I’m so pissed. Remember that it starts with a joke, then they repeat it so everyone gets the joke and laugh harder next time, until we become the joke, and then normalize it! This is how Donald Trump normalizes hate

[dianatracy]

Good reporting with no gas lighting. Thank you. Showing it like it is

[olliesplaytime]

I guess puerto rico is so great people left it to come here. Tell you what, I'm moving to puerto rico.

What do you call a pile of garbage covered with maggots and vomit? A Trump rally

[tijlmertens]

Whatever the hell it was ( comedy or not) .... it wasnt very smart....

[thomasbrooker]

This is how the GOP thinks of Puerto Ricans.

[KylieAngell]

Wow!! PR strong...this is disgusting....This is honestly not surprising- but still extremely alarming.

[Ms.ZachiaJohnson-Moses]

Kathy Hochul is the same woman who said; black kids don't know how to use a computer.

[DougLyons-dt]

This guy was only the beginning of a tirade of hate.

It was at Maga rally. He gave the crowd what they wanted to hear

Making hideous "jokes" about another country and the Spanish-speaking community in general is not a comedy (although it was supposedly presented by a pathetic comedian - by the way - some hopeless guy was hired to pretend to be a comedian so that later they could say as if to the naive people that it was supposedly a joke). . Is it?) It's a grip below the belt. These people have no class, no self-reflection, a total lack of diplomacy, empathy and they dare to call themselves Christians. I stand with the Puerto Rican community and all people as they call it "Latinos" - Dios los Bendiga Amigos.

As a Puerto Rican myself I am deeply offended by the comedian's insult, however, I am even more offended by Mr. Trump's failure to react promptly (upon taking the stage) to the insult, as opposed to hours later. I'm also extremely disturbed by the fact that many Puerto Ricans LACKING DIGNITY will vote for the S.O.B. who not only threw rolls of paper towels at my people after hurricane Maria, but also prevented the island from receiving the twenty (20) billion dollars designated to the devastated island. May God have mercy on his soul. Amen

[ramonarosado]

Tony Hinchcliffe just ruined the chances of winning in New York and Florida. He ruined Trump, and my entire family has just switched and will vote Democrat. I’m very sorry. We will not tolerate that insult.

[glo]

These people are toxic and disgusting! And this beautiful country is NOT garbage!

[albertwashingtonjr]

Wow, do you realize Hochel (Hokey) says that all the time? No place for hate in the state of NY? She should practice what she preaches especially for her hate of our constitution!
