Fat Joe Calls Out Puerto Ricans For Supporting Donald Trump
At the ‘Us: A Summit On Black & Brown Men And The Vote,’ Fat Joe shared his disappointment with Puerto Ricans who still back Trump, stating that “it breaks his heart.”
“If any of you guys have Puerto Rican friends, when you go over there and go visit… the first thing they tell you is my island, my island. Yo, you went to my island. They tell me that, like I’m not from Puerto Rico,” Joe said.
The New York-bred rapper continued to suggest that some Latinos supporting Donald Trump might wish they were white.
“That’s that house n***a mentality. You know, that’s the Latino that wished he was white. Those the guys in the comments, change they voice up, try to sound white,” Joe continued.
Social Media Reacts
Instagram user @_racer.x wrote, “Puerto Ricans all over the US should’ve felt disrespected regardless of their political views.”
While Instagram user @sprite713 wrote, “The fact is they’ll vote for anyone or anything before they vote for a black woman.”
Then Instagram user @josiah28avo wrote, ‘IT WAS A JOKE‼️ a badly timed one but a joke still.”
Another Instagram user @eder_jamil wrote, “They should’ve stop voting for him since the moment he threw paper towels at them.”
Finally, Instagram user @sandi518 wrote, “Hispanic & Latino folks should not have voted for Trump the first time, let alone this time around.”
Here’s What Tony Hinchcliffe Said At Trump’s Rally
NBC News reports on Oct. 27, Donald Trump held a rally at Madison Square Garden in New York City, where several moments went viral. Comedian Tony Hinchcliffe sparked significant backlash with his distasteful comments about Palestinians, Jews, Black voters, and Latinos.
He referred to Puerto Rico as a “floating island of garbage” and made derogatory remarks about the race “loving to make babies.”
Additionally, he referred to the Democrats as having a lot of “crazy endorsements,” and every day, their party continues to look “more and more like a P. Diddy party.” Furthermore, Hinchcliffe joked about “carving watermelons” with his Black buddy for Halloween.
Tony Hinchcliffe defended his comments shortly after Trump’s rally on X (formerly Twitter). The 40-year-old responded to a video of VP Kamala Harris’ running mate Tim Walz criticizing his comments. Hinchcliffe claimed that people lack a sense of humor and expressed his love for Puerto Rico, mentioning that he vacations there.
These people have no sense of humor. Wild that a vice presidential candidate would take time out of his “busy schedule” to analyze a joke taken out of context to make it seem racist. I love Puerto Rico and vacation there. I made fun of everyone…watch the whole set. I’m a… https://t.co/VFxHRcdv5k
