Trump’s Puerto Rico fallout is ‘spreading like wildfire’ in Pennsylvania

Trump’s Puerto Rico fallout is ‘spreading like wildfire’ in Pennsylvania
SHARE

Donald Trump’s recent rally in Pennsylvania has sparked outrage among Puerto Rican voters in the state. The derogatory and racist comments made during the event have left many in the Puerto Rican community feeling disrespected and insulted. This backlash has created an opportunity for Kamala Harris to potentially win over the state’s Latino voters, especially the nearly half a million Pennsylvanians of Puerto Rican descent.

Immediately following the rally, a nonpartisan Puerto Rican group drafted a letter urging its members to oppose Trump on election day. The comments made at the rally have been widely discussed in Puerto Rican communities, sparking conversations in bodegas and online chats. Some residents are even planning to protest Trump’s upcoming rally in Allentown, a city with a significant Puerto Rican population where the arena is located in the heart of the Puerto Rican neighborhood.

The timing of these offensive comments couldn’t be worse for Trump as he tries to cut into Harris’ margins among Latino voters, particularly young men concerned about the economy. The remarks made by comedian Tony Hinchcliffe, referring to Puerto Rico as a “floating island of garbage,” have had a significant impact in Pennsylvania and beyond, with even Republican allies denouncing the comments.

Local Democrats and community leaders are holding Trump accountable for his past remarks about Puerto Rico, including his response to Hurricane Maria in 2017. The fallout from the recent rally is a reminder to Puerto Rican voters of Trump’s history of disrespectful comments towards their community.

Despite efforts by the Trump campaign to distance themselves from the comedian’s remarks, the damage has been done. Local Republicans and GOP strategists acknowledge that these comments were an unforced error that may impact the election.

Puerto Rican community members are standing firm in their condemnation of the comments, with some calling for Trump to publicly apologize. Leaders in the Puerto Rican community are mobilizing to ensure that their voices are heard and their concerns are addressed.

In response to the backlash, Kamala Harris has been actively engaging with the Puerto Rican community in Pennsylvania, visiting local businesses and speaking about her plans for the island. Her outreach efforts have resonated with residents like Kenny Perez, who expressed his support for Harris following the offensive comments made at the Trump rally.

As the election draws near, the impact of these comments on Puerto Rican voters in Pennsylvania remains to be seen. But one thing is clear – the disrespect shown towards the Puerto Rican community has not gone unnoticed, and voters are paying attention to how candidates address these issues.
