Donald Trump’s hopes to court Puerto Ricans in the 2024 presidential election may have backfired thanks to a crude joke made by comedian Tony Hinchcliffe during a rally at Madison Square Garden on Sunday. Not long after, Bad Bunny, perhaps the most popular musician ever to emerge from Puerto Rico, endorsed Trump’s rival, Kamala Harris.

During a set before Trump’s own remarks, Hinchcliffe called Puerto Rico a “floating island of trash in the middle of the ocean.” He also said that Latinos “like to make babies,” adding, “They do.” They do. There is no pulling out. They don’t. They come in. Just like they did to our country.”

Not long after Hinchcliffe’s comments started going viral, Bad Bunny endorsed Harris by posting a video of her plan for Puerto Rico to his 45.6 million followers on Instagram. He also repeatedly shared a clip of Harris discussing Trump’s mishandling of relief efforts after Hurricanes Maria and Irma, which hit Puerto Rico in 2018 and killed nearly 3,000 Americans on the island.

Although Puerto Rico itself has no electoral college votes in presidential elections, hundreds of thousands of Puerto Rican residents live in key swing states, including Florida, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Wisconsin and Michigan.

During Trump’s rally at Madison Square Garden, podcast host and comedian Kill Tony called Puerto Rico a “floating island of trash” during his set.

Notably, four percent of Pennsylvanians are Puerto Rican.
