Former President Donald Trump laid out his vision for America Sunday at a rally in New York’s Madison Square Garden. the rally featured offensive remarks from surrogates like comedian Tony Hinchcliffe, who called Puerto Rico an “island of garbage.” The Trump campaign is working to distance itself from that comment. CBS News campaign reporter Jake Rosen has more.

That comment that they said about that power junk in the middle of the ocean that it was Puerto Rico he just killed his vote on every Spanish person in the United States
@LeGardien781
You are done Perro!!
@HoneyBeeCrafts

@HoneyBeeCrafts
Lmao omg this was so good. I loved it. But I love all jokes lmao!!!!
@23BeRAD
Divisive? You got some tiny ones lefties!
@magdalenapadilla6325
True facts look at the numbers Trump has been the one president with the lowest deportation, we need to really increase punishment so people can seriously think about committing a crime in the USA
@MrGreen-fi5sg
It was a joke and the comedian obviously doesn't really think that way.
Yall need to learn to not take everything seriously.
@johnmcnally6851
Why is no one calling out the BS of we didn't know the comedian was going to say that? What about his other vile comments?Was his whole act adlibbed? And he wasn't the only one who made vile comments. Did they not know Steven Millier? Did they not know Tucker Carlson?
@albertoozunacamacho730
Well, ol' Trumpo was right there after the "comedian" and I don't believe he said sorry or backpedaled during his speech so, no, I don't buy last moment backpedaling. He thought it was ok enough when they said it.
Because that's how they are and how they value you. On monday CNN interviewed a TrumpRINO public relations guy on the Puerto Rico thing and he said with a smile "good thing they don't have electoral votes."
Si hay alguien que apoya a Trump, ¡VÓTALE EN CONTRA!
@willlongacre4900
Trump is a racist. We need to stop every joke made by a comedian that anyone could ever consider to be offensive. If we can stop all jokes ( and I believe we can) we can live in a more perfect country. Jokes are the devil. If you ever laugh at anything this is the devil living in you.
@myrnarios2357
I’m Puertorican and I wasn’t offended as many if not most of us were not. He was NOT a good choice for this type of event being he is famous for his roasts. But aside from that, jokes are jokes, comedy is comedy. He roasted different ethnicities not just us from PR. You’re just trying to mislead and repeat the talking points of all you leftists to influence the puertorican votes.
@AlishaTheDiva2
He roasted everyone at the rally, The Media, Mexicans, Blacks, Whites, Palestinians, Jews, Trump, The Clinton’s, Nancy Pelosi 😂😂😂😂 Everyone got a piece of the pie. If you don’t believe me go to Forbes and watch the whole video. And then tell your friends.
@matthewj23
That comedian is not a surrogate or is he relfective of Trump or his supporters views seems like he got planted their so the media can spin it over and over.
@yeahkevinn
Thank God we live in America where comedians can say anything funny and not get arrested. Are these comments new to freedom of speech or comedy? Those jokes were hilarious. He made fun of everyone, so quit cryin.
@SuperHAMILTON91
No way prop #25 own this. Vote Blue!
@OscarLimaMike
I was there, this is so dishonest. You're not journalists, hell you're not even good propagandists. I'm sure your audience is brilliant! 🤭
@CharlieWhite-x1i
Biden called for the elimination of Trump. Harris and Biden and Clinton and others actually call Trump Hitler. They actually said it. A comedian said the negative comments. Not Trump.
@CharlieWhite-x1i
Trump is not responsible for what that Comedian said. Just like Kamala is not responsible for all the stuff Biden said. It's that simple.
@OnConstructionProfile2026

#VoteTrump2024 MAGA ❤
Dear Woke 🤡 get a life. We call jokes as jokes because it's not supposed to be real… Threats and Physical aggression is real and should be condemned which never happened. You speak about patriotism as if it's some kind of disease. It's, your woke which is a mental illness which evaporates logic.
Dear Woke Phonies, So very Offended by the Roast Jokes of a Designated Comedian…… WHERE IS YOUR OUTRAGE WHEN OUR SOVEREIGNTY IS THREATENED AND INSULTED ON OUR VERY SOIL ???
Jokes on other countries are so racist and Offensive . Why not Assaults, Vandalism and Chants of "Death to America" ??
@drs8922
I cant even fathom how there are Trump supporters. Every movie, cartoon, show, there are good guys … and bad guys. Its UNBELIEVABLE there are trump supporters.

@melanietirbany2203
Targeted Insults Disguised as jokes , is actually HATE!!, It was Vile , Vulgar, Insulting, condescending, disgraceful, disrespectful, and utterly disgusting, I’m NON LATINO , and I am very much offended!!! This is unacceptable America‼️‼️DO BETTER AMERICA VOTE BLUE ‼️HARRIS /WALTZ 🇺🇸🇺🇸💙💙
@tylerdanielsofficial
Key word there is comedian.
@craujo2024
I'm so sorry about thast !!! BUT I WILL STILL "VOTE FOR TRUMP"!!!!!!!! CBS WILL NOT SHOW TRUMP INSIDE A SPANISH BARBERSHOP AND WITH SPANISH PEOPLE LAST WEEK!!!!!!!
@craujo2024
REMEMBER PEOPLE! It wasn't Trump!!!!! It was a comedian with a joke that has 2 interpretations. IT WAS A COMEDIAN AND IT WASN'T TRUMP!!!!! One reason I don't like comedians very much is because they always bring problems with comedies with different interpretations and hurt people who don't know how to interpret! This comedian should apologize to Puerto Ricans, even though it's a comedy!
The media is doing today what they shouldn't be doing! ((POSSIBLY INCREASING HATE)), interviews that they shouldn't do because they CAN increase hate! The USA has Spanish comedians and the Spanish always make comedies about Americans "ask our president Joe Biden" and when Americans make comedies about the Spanish the media takes the opportunity to possibly increase HATE. Watch George Lopez, he made comedies about the Spanish and they laughed and laughed a lot, remember George represents the Spanish!!!!!

@ArizonaSquatch
Waiting 24 hours to issue a statement, after the racism was let out of the bag, is useless Trumpty. It's like saying, i started that fire, it's bigly covefe now, I'll put it out.
@BartRoberts-i4t
I wanna see Trump, himself, disavow those comments. The fact he hasn't tells me what I need to know.

PR is the planned Gaza strip for Latinos in America as per Project 2025. Louisiana for blacks. Guam and Hawaii for Asians. Those latinos in Florida wake up. It will be back to Cuba soon.
@DanielSanchez-sf6sg
lol this comment section is a big L 😂
@DJniggels
How many times you need to see and hear proof that this level of racism and hate-mongering is exactly what Trump and MAGA stands for???
@shanetowne6530
It wasn't a funny joke. The dumps will be at capacity in the next couple of years. They use open-air dumps. Stop virtue signaling and help them.
