At least some Puerto Ricans thought the garbage truck was about them

think about it, if you didn't know about the Biden "gaffe", what would the garbage truck thing look like?

HuffPost spoke with several Puerto Rican voters outside of a CTown Supermarket on Bethlehem’s south side, across the street from the Puerto Rican Beneficial Society.

Nilsa Vega and Neidel Pacheco of Hellertown, a borough south of Bethlehem, both said they had never voted before, but Hinchcliffe’s remarks were the reason they planned to vote for Harris on Tuesday.

“That hit the spot right there,” Vega said. “They keep saying, ‘Oh, he’s only a comedian.’ It still hurts.”

Pacheco saw Trump’s decision to pose in a garbage truck at a campaign stop in Wisconsin the following day as an additional insult. “If he didn’t have nothing to do with it, what’s he doing in the garbage truck?” Pacheco asked.

Hugh Hewitt embarrassingly storms off show and quits Washington Post

he couldn't take it when they so unfairly claimed Trump was laying the groundwork to dispute the election. So unfair!

Harris did not derail her own campaign to capitalize on the MSG fiasco

she made a few statements about it, made an ad or two, but she kept on with her campaign.

Trump seems to be grasping to take advantage of the garbage thing. Didn't he have a closing argument prepared? Seems desparate.

One of the top Google searches is whether Puerto Ricans can vote for president

I would also like to be clear that no quid pro quo of any kind is at work here. Neither campaign nor candidate was consulted or informed at any level or in any way about this decision. It was made entirely internally. Dave Limp, the chief executive of one of my companies, Blue Origin, met with former president Donald Trump on the day of our announcement. I sighed when I found out, because I knew it would provide ammunition to those who would like to frame this as anything other than a principled decision. But the fact is, I didn’t know about the meeting beforehand. Even Limp didn’t know about it in advance; the meeting was scheduled quickly that morning. There is no connection between it and our decision on presidential endorsements, and any suggestion otherwise is false.

Laura Loomer smells a rat about the Puerto Rico scandal

it can't be that Harris is reaching out to an important community, and Trump is racist. It has to be a conspiracy...


Doesn’t anyone think it’s weird how @KamalaHarris
rolled out her policy on Puerto Rico the same day @TonyHinchcliffe
told a joke at the Trump rally?

Here’s a timeline of what went down today.

Early this afternoon: Kamala Harris released a video talking about Puerto Rico.

One hour later, comedian Tony Hinchcliffe @TonyHinchcliffe
made the joke about Puerto Rico at the Trump rally.

Shortly after that, Bad Bunny endorsed Kamala Harris.

Did you know that Bad Bunny and Tony Hinchcliffe share the same management label?

Did the managers at @unitedtalent
UTA leak Tony Hinchcliffe’s jokes? And if they did, did they do so because he’s Pro Trump?

Harris chose a different way to reach out to Puerto Ricans today

this is from today, the same day a Trump surrogate called Puerto Rico an "island of garbage"
