tRump thinks "I didn't say it, so I don't have to apologize". Republicons take their cue from him and are silent or hiding.

He didn't actually say the so-called joke. But he hasn't apologized or condemned it, as far as I know. I searched too, but news is full of nonsense about the Biden mis-statement.

It's so simple. tRump doesn't even have to apologize. He could have said "I didn't hear it or vet it, but I condemn it. Puerto Rican islanders are fine citizens."
