Trump campaign distances itself from Puerto Rico “joke”

The Trump campaign is distancing itself from some of the controversial content from the New York City rally. One of the headlines from Trump’s event at Madison Square Garden was the comment by a comedian who described Puerto Rico as a “floating island of trash.” A Trump campaign spokesperson said the “joke does not reflect the views of President Trump or the campaign.” On the same day as the rally, Vice President Harris visited a Puerto Rican restaurant in Philadelphia — and her team was quick to criticize the Trump rally rhetoric.
