FINAL WEEK FARCE: TRUMP PUERTO RICO ‘GARBAGE’ PROTEST FLOPS. Allentown, Pennsylvania — In the last couple of days, a number of Democrats noted that former President Donald Trump‘s first rally after his big Madison Square Garden event would take place in the majority-Hispanic city of Allentown, Pennsylvania, on Tuesday night. That would give protesters a chance to take to the streets to denounce Trump over the words of an insult comic, Tony Hinchcliffe, who told the Garden audience, “I don’t know if you guys know this, but there is literally a floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean right now. I think it’s called Puerto Rico.”

“People of Puerto Rican descent in the key swing state of Pennsylvania, who number more than 450,000, have denounced the comedian’s comments,” Politico reported. “And some are planning to protest Trump’s rally Tuesday night in Allentown, which has one of the largest populations of Puerto Ricans in the state.”
