El comediante Tony Hinchcliffe enfrentó críticas generalizadas después de hacer chistes ofensivos sobre Puerto Rico durante un mitin de Trump en la ciudad de Nueva York. Sus comentarios, que incluyeron llamar a Puerto Rico 'una isla flotante de basura', fueron condenados por figuras políticas como Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) y el gobernador de Minnesota Tim Walz. Los comentarios rápidamente se volvieron virales, desencadenando un acalorado debate en las redes sociales. Hinchcliffe respondió a las críticas con más comentarios inflamatorios, escalando las tensiones. El incidente ha llamado la atención sobre el uso de retórica racialmente insensible en eventos políticos.

Looks like the left is just looking for another reason to be offended – it’s a joke, people need to lighten up.
It’s ridiculous that people are getting so worked up about a comedian making jokes. Free speech means people can say what they want, and if you don’t like it, don’t listen. Puerto Rico’s situation has issues that need addressing, and maybe jokes like these just bring attention to it in a different way. AOC and the rest of them always blow things out of proportion to push their agendas. Let’s focus on real problems instead of getting offended by words.

This kind of rhetoric is totally unacceptable and just fuels more division and hate. We need to be calling out racism and bigotry wherever it shows up, especially at political events where it can have a wider impact.

It's disturbing that this kind of blatant racism is still being used to rile up political crowds—it's just not acceptable in any context.

People are way too sensitive these days, comedians should be able to push boundaries without everyone freaking out.

Triste. AOC y 'Tampon Tim' juegan a Madden en Twitch mientras los votantes actúan como adultos.
El truco de la campaña también compitió con el improbable mitin del ex presidente Donald Trump en el Madison Square Garden de la ciudad de Nueva York.
