Latino strategist criticizes Puerto Rico jokes at Trump rally and calls for voter mobilization

Luis Miranda, chair of the Latino Victory Fund, responded to a comedian's derogatory comments about Puerto Rico at a Trump rally. He noted that such insults are not new from Trump and emphasized the need for Puerto Ricans to mobilize and vote. Miranda highlighted past grievances, including Trump's response to Hurricane Maria, and criticized the former president's rhetoric at the rally. He stated that every word at such events reflects Trump's views and the aspirations of his party. He believes the recent comments may energize Puerto Rican voters who were previously disengaged. Miranda noted that insults can motivate people to vote against Trump, as many are tired of divisive rhetoric.
