Sunny Hostin, Ana Navarro and their fellow cohosts on The View tore into Donald Trump and the other speakers at last night’s rally at Madison Square Garden, during which right-wing comedian Tony Hinchcliffe said that Puerto Rico was a “floating island of garbage.”
Trump, who spoke after Hinchcliffe, did not condemn the remarks.
Today’s View kicked off in high gear, with Hostin delivering the opening remarks.
Watch the segment below.
“This Puerto Rican has something to say about the island that I love, where my family is from,” Hostin said. “Puerto Rico is trash? We are Americans, Donald trump. We volunteer disproportionately high in the military while you have bone spurs.
“And we vote. Pennsylvania is home to almost half a million Puerto Ricans. North Carolina, 115,000. Georgia, 100,000. Arizona, 64,000. Wisconsin, 61,000. Michigan, 43,000. Nevada, 27,000.
“We vote Donald Trump. Trash? Jennifer Lopez, Ricky Martin, Bad Bunny, Luis Fonsi and Marc Anthony have more than 345 million followers on Instagram. I think you only have 26 million, since you care so much about size. And we don’t like was was said about Puerto Rico, and we know how to take the trash out, Donald Trump. Trash that has been collecting since 2016, and that’s you Donald Trump.
“And finally, my fellow Puerto Ricans, trash collection day is Nov. 5, 2024. Don’t forget it.”
