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."

No Easter Eggs for Trump?
I’ll stick with Bugs Bunny.
Another stupid thing that can’t help and wasn’t totally unnecessary. Sometimes Trumps people can’t get out of their own way. He’s gaining Hispanic votes, and Harris is swirling so let’s insult Puerto Ricans. Come on guys you’re so close. Don’t screw it up.
Puerto Rican superstar Bad Bunny endorsed Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris
3 minutes of “fame” for two losers.
“Harris, who visited a Puerto Rican restaurant in North Philadelphia”
Uh-oh! Cultural Misappropriation! ;-)
In in Fool’s Gold (2008 film) Kevin Hart portrayed Bigg Bunny.
It’s funny because it’s what people are thinking, just like the best stand up. People embrace Trump because he rejects the “PC” crowd and their cancel culture.
The most offended people are white leftists THEY are the ones who should be deported
I saw a young PR American woman being interviewed. She said that he wasn’t insulting the PR people but the island itself. And she pretty much said he was right about the island. It’s not clean and has a terrible environment.
I get it. Just let me review, I need:
Very prescient. Good advice all around! Thanks for the help!
You mean, it’s not a floating island of garbage?
Part of me wants to keep the Illegals, teach them to be Americans. And deport EVERY SINGLE STINKING LEFTIST.
This rally was amazing and would have dominated the news cycle for 2-3 days, in a Very Good Way. Instead the rally is dominating the news cycle because of this idiot comedian. When your candidate and his supporters are being called racists on a daily basis, who thinks it is a good idea to hire a racist entertainer??? This Really is Bad, because of the good news coverage that was lost!
That sounds like a winning strategy.
Unfortunately, this incident with the comedian is all over YouTube today and all over the mainstream media sites. In a tight election, this could be a problem for Trump with the Hispanic vote. I think he needs to come out and make a public statement personally denouncing the “joke.” Simply issuing a statement from the campaign will not do it.
Was he the one that was cursing up a storm (and RAV didn’t catch it before it could be edited)?
I was on the phone and wasn’t paying attention until I heard the curse words.. they rang out like warning bells.
Didn’t the last PR “Superstar” end up being a Pedo-Homo?
Concern noted troll, NOW GO AWAY!
Trump needs to fire whoever suggested this guy should be a presenter at this event. He single-handedly gave the Dems a week long soundbite going into the election. If you are going to bring in a comedian, bring in someone funny. This guy was disgusting. His jokes were crude and not funny at all. Elon was 100 times more entertaining and didn’t need to tell any jokes at all.
