City Councilmember Quetcy Lozada urged Puerto Ricans to not accept an apology from the Trump campaign over comedian Tony Hinchcliffe's racist remarks at a Trump rally, instead urging them to vote.
The dominant message: “Our frustration and our anger should be turning into voting,” said Reading Mayor Eddie Morán, who is Puerto Rican. He was flanked by Philadelphia City Councilmember Quetcy Lozada, State Rep. Danilo Burgos, and representatives from several community organizations.”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. I think it it’s called Puerto Rico,” Hinchcliffe said, to a tepid audience response.
”I need every Boricua on here to take that rally clip and drop in your family WhatsApps and group chats. ESPECIALLY if you have family in these states,”The Trump campaign told reporters that Hinchcliffe’s “joke does not reflect the views of President Trump.”
