The ivermectin ad taking up half the screen is self-parody at this point...

(Or did a Democrat ad that on there to make fun of Republicans?)

[President Johnson]

Tomorrow’s NYT Headline:

“At Spirited Rally in the Big Apple, Trump’s Team Tests the Bounds of Political Correctness”

Second headline: "Harris faces backlash over doubling down on calling Trump a fascist, while Obama increasingly unhinged with attacks on Trump."

Given the piss poor response of the 2017 hurricane there and this comment, safe to say Trump is probably not gonna be liked by the PR community when all is said and done

He'll probably win a majority of the PR vote in Florida.

Doubtful. Puerto Ricans are NOT Cubans or even close to being culturally or politically similar.

Have you seen the numbers out of Miami Dade? It's a blood bath.

And they already voted for Desantis in 2022 so...

That’s not really the point. Are you ok with these kinds of jokes?

If your child made these kinds of jokes towards a Black classmate, would you be ok with that as a parent?

If you had a friend who was Puerto Rican, would you be ok telling them a joke like that?

People like you have become so obsessed with defending Trump that you no longer ask whether he is worth defending.

Also, WTF? Puerto Rico is absolutely beautiful

Over 40% of the population is below the poverty line.

[CookieDamage]

Great optics!

And so that makes it ok to call it a floating pile of garbage?

You are talking to a guy that defended Nazis "because they're cool" until some other Trump supporters didn't want anything to do with said Nazis.

Anyone who says the Republican party isn't racist is a moron at this point.

Puerto Ricans are populated in and around Orlando, not Miami-Dade County.

[GAinDC]

Yup, definitely a sh**thole

Over 40% of the population is below the poverty line.

Some of Trump's best counties have very high poverty rates but if anyone was to call those places terrible they would be chastised for being against "Real America". Poverty is glamorized for poor White people, but mocked for everyone else.

Yup, case in point: Mr. Hillbilly Elegy

[Senator Incitatus]

Hinchcliffe is both a weird person to invite to this rally and a weird person to get upset about. Bad strategy but little else.

[Angasboy15]

The MAGA trolls know this is a massive own goal judging by the number of times clips of this are getting proposed community notes on X, them desperately trying to "add context" that the speaker is a comedian.

Two "interesting" implications in this post

1 - That if a place is poor then it can't be beautiful

2 - Poor people are garbage

Oh wait, it's THE RECKONING, now it all makes sense

Yes. There are some jokes that skirt the edge between funny and crude but if you said this to a Puerto Rican in the Bronx you'd get punched in the mouth at minimum. The crowd groans and some of them even boo him, it's that bad

[RBH]

at least they're smart enough to not Streisand effect this by trying to get the clips pulled due to copyright or whatever

[DrScholl]

This makes me wonder if polling is showing that increasing the vote amongst Black and Latino voters is failing so the campaign is trying to juice the White racist low turnout vote by being polarizing.

[heatcharger]

Identity politics as usual.

[DaleCooper]

This is the problem with the post-Trump GOP. It's just going to be left with a bunch of racists and creeps and talentless hacks trying to get an anti-woke audience. It's going to get even worse in a couple years.

[Tokugawa Sexgod Ieyasu]

Identity politics as usual.

That is all Trump has ever had to offer, yes.

This kind of blatant lie is honestly why I pretty much never take any criticism coming from the left seriously. If they can lie about something I know to be true then what about stuff that I may be unaware of.

Thank you for admitting Trump is a product of the identity politics of the left.

“Vote Walz/Harris 2024.”
