At Donald Trump's Sunday rally in New York, he said, among other things: Tony Hinchcliffe is a famous American comedian. He was supposed to support the Republican Party in the race for the White House, but, as highlighted by international media, he made it difficult to win votes from social minorities nine days before the election. He shared some light jokes about these groups.
He stated, among other things, that “Latins love to have children,” an ambiguous statement. In the next moment, he turned to look at the Puerto Rican. This is another group of voters important to victory. – I don't know if you know this, but right now there are literally floating islands of garbage in the middle of the ocean. I think it's called Puerto Rico, he said, as quoted by NBC News.

Mr Hinchcliffe also mentioned the conflict in the Middle East. As he suggested, Israelis and Palestinians should play rock, paper, scissors and “settle things.” He also touched on the failed assassination attempt on President Trump in July, noting that President Joe Biden contracted the coronavirus shortly afterward. – Trump survived the attack, but Biden contracted the coronavirus. We will vote next week, but God voted three months ago – he said.
It also decided to “welcome” immigrants heading to the United States. The New York Post says at one point he spread his arms in a “no” gesture. During the comedian's speech, both applause and whistles could be heard from the audience. American media outlets note that he was the first of 30 speakers to attend a Republican event in Manhattan, and has traditionally voted Democratic.
Donald Trump campaign distances itself from Hinchcliffe
Hinchcliffe's controversial performance was met with reaction from Republican staff. “These statements do not reflect the views of President Trump or his campaign,” spokesman Daniel Alvarez said in a statement. Meanwhile, Republican politician María Elvira Salazar wrote on the X platform that she was disgusted by the comedian's words and that his rhetoric “does not reflect the values” of her formation.
Criticism also came from within the Democratic Party. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who is of Puerto Rican descent, said during a live broadcast with Kamala Harris' running mate Tim Walz that “jokes” about Puerto Rico were made by her political opponents “about people who earn less than us. It shows what you think.” . ” Hinchcliffe himself commented on her opinion, accusing Ocasio-Cortez of having no sense of humor.
Sky News highlighted that the controversial performance could strengthen Harris' position as she seeks to win support among Latinos. At the same time, he could win in the important state of Pennsylvania, where Puerto Ricans make up a key electorate. Commentators say a win in this state could allow one of the candidates to enter the White House.
