Trump faces backlash over comedian's remarks about Puerto Rico at New York rally
Donald Trump is facing backlash for comments made by comedian Tony Hinchcliffe about Puerto Rico during a rally in New York. Despite the criticism, Trump has not apologized and instead focused on attacking his opponent, Kamala Harris, during a subsequent media appearance. Several prominent musicians and Republican officials have condemned Hinchcliffe's remarks, which included derogatory comments about Puerto Rico. Trump's campaign has attempted damage control, stating that Hinchcliffe's views do not reflect Trump's own, but he has not distanced himself from the incident. The controversy comes as both candidates vie for the crucial Puerto Rican vote in Pennsylvania, a key swing state. While Harris has actively sought support from the Puerto Rican community, Trump's comments may complicate his efforts to win over this important voting bloc.
