  9. I find it funny that America just ignored the “Carving Watermelon” joke! America The Beautiful! 🤦🏾‍♂️

  10. VOTE SCOTT OUT

  11. You know, if Hollywood ever decides to remake the movie Deliverance, I think Rick Scott would be their banjo player.

  12. Yea, because he need the vote.

  13. Vote, scott largest thief of medical services for seniors, out of office, he is just a better liar than trump , but still a liar

  14. problems are free, but people like to buy them sometimes. **and they bought it**

  15. Rick Scott is just saying that because he is afraid, a little man that is just like Trump. A lier and a person that cares about only himself!! Vote to remove him from office we have to get rid of the MAGA lunatics !!!!

  16. Trump doesn't care about rick scott

  17. Rick Scott is denouncing this now not because he disagrees with the comments made. He’s denouncing it because he’s running for reelection. He wouldn’t say a word provided his seat is safe for the next 2 yrs or so.

  18. Skeletor is alive and well

  19. It wasn’t just the “comedian” saying disparaging things about American citizens.

  20. CBS is a proTrump media group!

  21. Wath a asso can't defende the undefenbol

  22. "We had a holocaust survivor there!"

    It's not the flex he thinks it is.

  23. I hope those people see through Rick Scott and Marco Rubio bull crap. I can't believe that clown was trying to defend that bull crap.

  24. Trump came on stage and NEVER apologized what was said

  25. This is a Classic Dump strategy. Say outrageous things, let the media post hundreds of stories about those words, then claim the opposition does the same, all while distracting the people from the real issues. The media falls for it over and over and should be ashamed.
    Dump is openly pushing an agenda that moves massive power away from the legislative branch, over to the president and the executive branch. It is a move towards dictatorship, and if you can't see it, you are not paying attention to what is most important in this election.

  26. 🤮💩🤮💩🤮💩💩🤮💩

  27. He's only doing THAT because he's in a tight election! Otherwise he wouldn't have a problem with it! The same thing with the Republican Congressional race !

  28. When people going to understand his racist he don’t like us

  29. Honor among thieves.

  30. Go buy a sense of humor. Oh, and BTW, Trump didn't say it.

  31. Now I know why the Trump/Vance campaign allowed this….Because of someone like Brian on this show! it was your fault!!!

  32. I am Puerto Rican and have given $$$ to support the Trump/Vance campaign and I am Extremely disappointed with the lack of common sense from his campaign. They allow this right before the elections???While I am fighting with my family trying to convince them to vote Trump/Vance. I am offended and this was a very very bad move for them!

  33. what a COWARD… Scottt just another racist like trump

  34. Scott and the mayor of Florida sucks …cheeses.

  35. Vote him out!

  36. Oh shut up Rick Scott. You don't care about Latinos, or anyone else for that matter, you never have. You only care about your own power and money. Your feigned shock is insulting.

  37. Scott is an even bigger racist than Trump!

  38. This is an absolute lie. The comedian’s speech was vetted before it was uploaded on to the teleprompter, and the offensive racist remarks about Puerto Ricans were left in deliberately as deemed acceptable; the only remark not included was calling Kamala Harris a c..nt. The most damaging non response of the night is when Trump finally mounted the stage, he did not denounce the disgusting remark about Puerto Rico, and it took over twelve hours for his team to say Trump distances himself from these profoundly racist remarks. I think Puerto Ricans are intelligent enough to draw their own conclusions – do they really want this man representing them and starting the mass deportation of millions of their fellow LEGAL US citizens.

    ROLL ON KAMALA, WHEN ALL AMERICANS CAN BE FREE OF THIS REPUBLICAN CLOWN SHOW FOREVER.🙏💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙

    💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙

  39. Sen. Rick Scott?
    The Medicare criminal?

  40. Who cares. If you want to live in united state. Don't matters what they said. Out side Puerto Rico

  41. He doesn't mean it. He's a Trumper he just wants to be in position

  42. I am deeply offended and traumatized by Tony Hinchcliffe's joke about Puerto Ricans. In response, I have no choice but to vote for a woman who will further devastate the economy, obliterate the Constitution, and start WW3. That is the only reasonable way to handle this situation.😳

  43. Typical Trump strategists…trying to pull a win out of a f**uck-up and disparage Harris in the process. No wonder they're bombing!
