JD Vance calls for humor and calm after Trump rally jokes spark backlash

Ohio Senator JD Vance, the Republican vice presidential nominee, called for Americans to have a better sense of humor. He made these comments following backlash over jokes made at a Trump rally in New York, particularly one about Puerto Rico. Vance stated that the outrage over the jokes was excessive and urged people to stop being easily offended. He referenced criticism of comedian George Lopez and emphasized the need for humor in American culture. The Trump campaign distanced itself from the controversial remarks made by comedian Tony Hinchcliffe at the rally. Several Trump allies also expressed concern about the impact of these comments on Puerto Rican voters in Pennsylvania, a key swing state.
