They want to have it both ways.

The rally began with Tony Hinchcliffe, a comedian and podcast host, assailing Puerto Rico – in the city that’s home to the largest Puerto Rican population on the US mainland. About 500,000 Puerto Ricans also live in battleground Pennsylvania, where Harris campaigned on Sunday.

“There’s a lot going on, like, I don’t know if you know this but there’s literally a floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean right now,” he said. “I think it’s called Puerto Rico.”

The line was well-received by Trump supporters who filled the historic arena in Midtown Manhattan. Trump has recently taken to calling the US “a garbage can for the world” when he rails against undocumented immigrants.

“These Latinos, they love making babies, too. Just know that they do,” Hinchcliffe continued.

Along with the “joke” about coming inside, which is apparently too smutty for CNN.

After the rally, Trump’s campaign sought to distance itself from Hinchcliffe, who like the other speakers was an invited guest, and his comments about Puerto Rico.

“This joke does not reflect the views of President Trump or the campaign,” Trump campaign spokesperson Danielle Alvarez said in a statement to CNN.

Oh really? Really????

Yes it does. Of course it does. Few things could reflect his views better. He is the embarrassing old fart propping up the bar or making everyone flee the Christmas dinner table by airing his stale stupid ugly mean venomous shitty views on women and brown people and faggots and dykes and all the rest of it. Of course he is. He’s the drunk guy on the bus raging about immigrants. Trump doesn’t drink, but he doesn’t need to, he’s disinhibited already.
