Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) responded to the controversial insult joke about Puerto Rico made by comedian Tony Hinchcliffe at Donald Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally.
“Puerto Rico isn’t garbage, it’s home to fellow American citizens who have made tremendous contributions to our country,” Rubio began a post on X.
“I understand why some people were offended by a comedians [sic] jokes last night. But those weren’t Trump’s words. They were jokes by an insult comic who offends virtually everyone, all the time….. because that is what insult comedians do.”
He went on: “What isn’t a joke is how Kamala Harris destroyed our economy and allowed dangerous criminals to illegally enter our country and terrorize, rape and murder Americans.
“And what isn’t a joke and truly outrageous is how ‘journalists’ are helping Kamala Harris’s [sic] with her dangerous campaign of hate by calling Trump the new Hitler and how MSNBC used old footage of Nazi rallies TO SMEAR TRUMP SUPPORTERS AS NAZIS!”
