In his comedy segment on stage, Hinchcliffe, known for his acerbic art, said: “There’s a rubbish island floating on the ocean … I think it’s called Puerto Rico. “
Puerto Rico is an island that belongs to America, in the Caribbean, and its residents cannot vote in the US presidential elections, but there is a large community of Puerto Ricans living in different parts of the United States United, who can vote.
The reference to Puerto Rico was described as “abominable racism” by many, who described the idea as racism towards all of Latin America.
Hours later, Donald Trump’s campaign headquarters dismissed the artist’s words.
Biden makes things worse
The next day, current US President Joe Biden said that Puerto Ricans are good people and that the “only floating trash” he sees in this country… is supporting Trump.
Biden later tried to downplay his comments, saying that he meant the comedian’s words to incite hatred towards Latinos.
Trump’s supporters described Mr. Biden’s insults against them, and said that Biden thinks “half of the citizens are trash.”
Mr. Biden’s words removed the Democratic advantage in the case and shifted the blame to him.
Trump is taking the opportunity
At a Trump campaign rally in Wisconsin on Wednesday, the Republican candidate used the opportunity to respond to Biden.
In a controversial moment, the Republican presidential candidate arrived in Wisconsin, aboard a garbage truck.
“What do you think of my garbage truck? It’s a truck named after (Vice President) Kamala Harris and Joe Biden,” Trump told reporters before a campaign rally in Wisconsin.
The case was described as a “waste scandal” in the American media, and it has increased the controversy about the upcoming elections, which will be held next November 5.
