Puerto Ricans are showing their support for Vice President Kamala Harris in the wake of racist comments made at Donald Trump’s rally in New York. The endorsement from Puerto Rican artist Bad Bunny has sparked a wave of support among young Puerto Ricans and Latinos across the country. Bad Bunny shared Harris’ campaign video targeting Puerto Rican audiences on Instagram, highlighting the importance of the election for Puerto Rican voters and the need for competent leadership for the island.
The comments made by comedian Tony Hinchcliffe at Trump’s rally, where he insulted Puerto Rico and made racist claims about Latinos, were condemned by Puerto Rican leaders like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Hinchcliffe has a history of controversial remarks and has faced backlash in the past, but stood by his comments. The Trump campaign distanced themselves from Hinchcliffe’s remarks, stating that they did not reflect the views of the president.
Harris responded to the rally by emphasizing the need for unity and denouncing Trump’s divisive rhetoric. Other celebrities like Jennifer Lopez, Ricky Martin, and singers Luis Fonsi and Marc Anthony have also voiced their support for Harris. The endorsement from Bad Bunny comes as Harris was campaigning in Philadelphia, where she outlined her plans for Puerto Rico’s economic success. The support from Puerto Ricans across the country underscores the importance of the upcoming election for the Puerto Rican community.
