  1. Imagine.

    Trump mishandles the hurricane.

    And there are jokes made at your expense…

    “It’s just a joke!”

    And it’s a vote….

  2. It was a comedian. Not saying it’s right or wrong, but leaving out that context is misleading.

    Edit – Can anyone argue that it’s NOT misleading to leave out the fact that the joke was said by a comedian doing a set vs a speaker giving a speech? I see lots of comments but not one addressing the root point of my post.

  3. You know you made a mistake when even the rallygoers boo

  4. The Trump rally happened while Harris was in PA courting the large Puerto Rican population. And then Latino mega star Bad Bunny endorsed Harris. Way to go, stable genius.

  6. They just let me spew BS and his cronies can’t wait for deportation time like MILLER n Bannon

  7. How about his rhetoric about fema. WTH is wrong with people and nothing happens to him.

  8. This is the best tl;dr I could make, [original](https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/27/us/politics/kamala-harris-philadelphia-voters.html) reduced by 60%. (I’m a bot)

    > Before Mr. Trump had even taken the stage, warm-up speakers had called Puerto Rico an "Island of garbage," referred to Ms. Harris as "The devil" and "The Antichrist," and made racist or derogatory remarks about Latinos generally, African Americans, Palestinians and Jews.

    > The remarks at the rally came as Ms. Harris wrapped up a day in Philadelphia, where she spent time courting Pennsylvania's significant Puerto Rican population by visiting a local Puerto Rican restaurant.

    > Before the Trump rally on Sunday, Ms. Harris had already taken aim at her Republican rival in a video message to Puerto Rican voters.

  9. Some Latinos are so deep in MAGA they’ll agree with.

  10. Haha at all the magats trying to distance themselves from the blowback.

  11. Because that’s how you unite a country and make it great again right? /s

  13. It’s weird that this article referred to a comedian as a “warm up speaker” and never used the name of the comic: Tony Hinchcliffe.

    Seems like important context.

  14. Man i feel bad for that guy. He’s going to lose about half of his 7 fans.

  17. Hey now…

    Trump did throw paper towels to them after they were hit by a category 4 hurricane. He respects them.

  18. Pessimistic view, I honestly don’t think this matters much to most people who were going to vote for him anyways

  21. The whole article and they never mention it being a known dark comedian, Tony Hinchcliffe.

  22. “Stay tuned to find out how this hurts Harris in the polls”

  24. > Later, Trump campaign spokesperson Danielle Alvarez in a statement said: “this joke does not reflect the views of President Trump or the campaign.”

    Uhhh what?

  25. That could legit flip Florida back to being Blue

    Jk I know it won’t, but let me have my hopium

  26. Harris reaching out to Puerto Ricans & talking about what she wants to do for them + getting support from Bad Bunny, Jennifer Lopez, Marc Anthony, Ricky Martin & Luis Fonsi, while Trump held what was akin to a Klan rally at MSG… The contrast should be clear!

  27. Did they play In The Flesh by Pink Floyd tonight? Donnie Dipshit & the Mouth Breathers don’t understand any of the songs they get cease and desist letters for.

  29. Florida minorities should know that republicans want them gone! Deported or dead- they don’t care.

  31. These pricks should just give up on comedy. It’s not funny to punch down on people.

  32. And yet he still gets votes. The jokester is already internet famous and not in a good way.

  33. >Tampons in boys’ bathrooms

    Not

    >Tampons in genderless bathrooms.

    What’s wrong with all genders using the same bathroom? They all get high together?

  34. What did the blacks, Latinos and Jews who were there do? Did they leave or stay? Will you vote for Trump?

  35. I mean, if you’re at a comedy club and this happens… alright, that’s fine. You understand where you are at. This literally happened at a political rally for the dude who wants to be president. This wasn’t the time, nor the place for this type of humor, and I hope it comes back to bite them in the ass.
