FINAL WEEK FARCE: TRUMP PUERTO RICO ‘GARBAGE’ PROTEST FLOPS. Allentown, Pennsylvania — In the last couple of days, a number of Democrats noted that former President Donald Trump‘s first rally after his big Madison Square Garden event would take place in the majority-Hispanic city of Allentown, Pennsylvania, on Tuesday night. That would give protesters a chance to take to the streets to denounce Trump over the words of an insult comic, Tony Hinchcliffe, who told the Garden audience, “I don’t know if you guys know this, but there is literally a floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean right now. I think it’s called Puerto Rico.”

“People of Puerto Rican descent in the key swing state of Pennsylvania, who number more than 450,000, have denounced the comedian’s comments,” Politico reported. “And some are planning to protest Trump’s rally Tuesday night in Allentown, which has one of the largest populations of Puerto Ricans in the state.”

So the stage was set. Then the protest came, and it was … not much. In the late afternoon, about 40 people gathered across the street from the PPL Center, where Trump would speak in a few hours. They held up Kamala Harris campaign signs, chanted a bit, waved a few Puerto Rican flags, and left. There was no showdown, even as Trump supporters waited in line across the street.

I have a feeling that a majority of Puerto Ricans do not want this country to end up like their Motherland.

This was 2 news cycles ago anyway.  Plus Pedo Joe unjokingly called half the country garbage.  This overall has netted out, or even a slight bump for Trump.

LIEden shot the foot off this weak Gotcha-Trump when he called half the voters in the US "Garbage".

Hillary's "Basket of Deplorables" comment worked so well for her that I almost wonder if Biden's "Garbage" comment was intentional, an attempt to sabotage Harris.

I resent being called "garbage".  I self-identify as Boston South Shore Shanty Irish Catholic White Trash (Deplorable).  That's a different class of garbage.

Hell, there's one Briefer here who has called me a racist three times at this site.  Try to get more deplorable and garbage-y than that...

Hillary appointed us "Deplorables" and Kammie's campaign promoted us to Nazis. I resent Joe's insult of demoting us to "Garbage".
