Bad Bunny Endorses Harris After Trump Rally Comedian Jokes Puerto Rico Is 'Floating Island of Garbage'

Puerto Rican superstar Bad Bunny endorsed Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris on Sunday, shortly after a comedian at former President Trump's sold-out Madison Square Garden rally joked that Puerto Rico equated to a "floating island of garbage," and made other unsavory jokes about Latinos.

Bad Bunny, whose official name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, shared a video backing Harris with his 45 million Instagram followers on Sunday shortly after Tony Hinchcliffe made the crude jokes about Puerto Rico and Latinos. A representative of the artist confirmed to the Associated Press that he is supporting Harris.

Harris, who visited a Puerto Rican restaurant in North Philadelphia to court Hispanic and Latino voters in the pivotal battleground state of Pennsylvania earlier Sunday, said in the video shared by Bad Bunny that "there’s so much at stake in this election for Puerto Rican voters and for Puerto Rico." In showing support, Bad Bunny shared several times another part of the clip Harris made on Puerto Rico, saying, "I will never forget what Donald Trump did and what he did not do when Puerto Rico needed a caring and a competent leader."

Tony used the opportunity to go viral at Trump’s expense. Bad move

Who was that a-hole they hired as a “comedian”? He talked like a lisping fag which makes me think he was a democrat plant. The guy brings up watermelons with blacks? WHAT? Calls Puerto Rico garbage? Excuse me, but we want Puerto Ricans and blacks to vote for Trump, right?

To have this “comedian” at the rally led to a silly unforced error late in the game. Why did the campaign take the risk? Trump should issue a strong statement condemning the “joke.” Like it or not, silly things like this can sway swing voters, especially with a media more than happy to exploit it.

I spent a week in Puerto Rico decades ago. Gorgeous island, very nice, educated people in San Juan. I bought a gorgeous oil painting at the Haitian Art Gallery in the San Juan Hilton., looking at it now.

The situation in both Puerto Rico and Haiti is horrible now. Overpopulation, too few resources. My oil painting is an outdoor scene showing little houses on a hillside with gardens and trees. Last time I looked, all those trees were gone, chopped down for firewood.

That’s why they are trying to get into the USA. I’d prefer we sent them seedlings and some kind of food aid —far, far cheaper than having them move here.

And no, I mean these wise guys! You can take a little vacation, spotted some guy who works at a travel agency.

He told me I can spend six nights in Puerto Rico. No days, just six nights in Puerto Rico.

I said to myself “What I do with myself on days?”, he said “Do whatever you want, just keep out of Puerto Rico”.

Progressive Insurance and Liberty Mutual commercials is my go to for laughs these days. Pretty sad but true.

I sure do miss Hotels,com’s “Captain Obvious” and The Most Interesting Man in the World. It took me a few Dos Equis commercials until I realized he was just a made up character.

But then again I got in 3 episodes of Trailer Park Boys until I realized that it was not a reality show and it was scripted with actors.

I once heard some random comedian tell (what I thought was) a dumb, disrespectful joke years ago ... so I voted by mail for President Trump last week.

Now we’re going to start the old republican circular firing squad to try and snap defeat from the jaws of victory? Why are some of us so afraid of the big “R”word. They only use this example to make us self-censor. Yet, we keep falling for the same plot every time. It was a joke told by a comedian. Democrats say terrible things and they are NOT joking.

The audience was laughing their butts off. They enjoyed it. Nothing wrong with that. Comedians always push limits.

True. So frustrating! We are winning and some dumb joke that trump didn’t even say is frightening conservatives. Grrrr.

I condemn the attempted ocean garbage joke in the “strongest possible terms.”

There, that should soothe all the hurt and make everyone feel much better.

The fainting couch is in the laddies room. Seriously, It was a joke. Grow a fricking back bone, or just be public about the fact you are a media driven pussy.

Puerto Rico caters to affluent Americans for vacations, that’s it. The country is a dumpster fire otherwise, it might as well be Mexico Island.

No worries. He’s small fry. Bugs Bunny and the Easter Bunny have both endorsed Trump.

What’s up with the non-screening of this “joker”? Why wasn’t he told no ethnic jokes no matter how funny he thought they were? Every mistake like this our side makes gets magnified 1000 times by the propaganda media and celebrity. Tweets. Just stay the away from crap like this it’s not funny. It certainly is not helpful. They give us plenty of material stick with that.

For sure .... I've had to hold off completing my ballot pending Bad Bunny's endorsement which will clear up my confusion over who to vote for President.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA ... Bad Bunny is a funny guy! (I guess)
