After comedian Tony Hinchcliffe disparaged Puerto Rico as “a floating island of garbage” at former President Donald Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally on Sunday, Hinchcliffe is facing backlash from both sides of the political aisle.
Jenniffer González-Colón, a Republican who attended the Republican National Convention this year and is running to be the island’s governor, called the comic’s comments “despicable, inappropriate and disgusting.”
Speaking with Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz in a Twitch stream Sunday, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez called the remark “super upsetting.”
“When you have some a-hole calling Puerto Rico ‘floating garbage,’ know that that’s what they think about you. It’s what they think about anyone who makes less money than them,” Ocasio-Cortez said.
Earlier Sunday, rapper Bad Bunny shared Vice President Kamala Harris’ video where she spoke about the island’s future.
