JD Vance stated that he believes people should not be easily offended by jokes. The remarks by comedian Tony Hinchcliffe at a recent Trump rally received backlash from Puerto Rican celebrities like Bad Bunny and Ricky Martin, alongside lawmakers from both parties.
The Trump campaign quickly distanced itself from Tony Hincliffe’s “floating island of garbage,” joke, highlighting concerns about its impact on Puerto Rican voters in swing states. While Hinchcliffe was invited by the Trump campaign, spokesmen say that the comments are not reflective of the former president’s position.
