Sunny Hostin has a message for Tony Hinchcliffe following his racially charged jokes about Puerto Rico. The comedian made the comments last weekend during a Donald Trump rally in New York City.

Speaking at Trump’s rally at Madison Square Garden on Sunday, October 27, Hinchcliffe, 40, said: ‘I don’t know if you guys know this, but there’s literally a floating island of trash in the middle of the ocean right now. I think it’s called Puerto Rico.”

Hostin and her The view co-hosts addressed his comments on the Monday, October 28 episode.

Hostin added, “And we don’t like what was said about Puerto Rico. And we know how to take out the trash, Donald Trump – trash that has been collected since 2016, and that’s you, Donald Trump.

She concluded by informing her fellow Puerto Ricans that “Trash Collection Day is November 5, 2024,” seemingly a swipe at Trump who recently told his supporters to vote on January 5 despite Election Day being November 5.

On Monday, 68-year-old Whoopi Goldberg introduced Hostin’s segment by saying that Trump had issued a statement distancing himself from Hinchcliffe’s comments.
