Vice President Kamala Harris may be counting on the fact that a bad joke from a comedian who supports former President Donald Trump will deliver the support of Puerto Rican voters, but her history of anti-Catholic bigotry is far worse.

Since comedian Tony Hinchcliffe invited controversy by declaring that Puerto Rico is a “floating island of garbage” at a Sunday Trump rally at Madison Square Garden in New York, the Harris campaign has tried to use the off-color joke as evidence that Trump does not care about the Puerto Rican community, which alone accounts for a half-million residents in the critical swing state of Pennsylvania.
