Kamala Harris has launched a new ad criticizing Donald Trump for his response to Hurricane Maria and his handling of Puerto Rico. The ad features a controversial comment made by comedian Tony Hinchliffe at a Trump rally, which has angered Latino communities. In the ad, Harris states, “He abandoned the island and offered nothing more than paper towels and insults,” emphasizing her commitment to Puerto Rican families. The campaign aims to connect with Puerto Rican voters in key battleground states. The Trump campaign has distanced itself from Hinchliffe's remarks, with a spokesperson stating they do not reflect Trump's views. However, Trump has not directly disavowed the comments, which have drawn widespread backlash.
