00:00U.S. presidential candidates Donald Trump and Kamala Harris were in Swing State, Pennsylvania
00:07after a bad joke at a Trump rally threatened to alienate Latin American voters.
00:11Speaking at a Trump rally in New York, comedian Tony Hinchcliffe called Puerto Rico a floating
00:17island of garbage, sparking fury from voters and accusations of racism.
00:22When I was knocking at the doors the other day, I did run into an individual from Puerto
00:27Rico who mentioned this actually made him flip his vote.
00:32It's something that I feel is very important.
00:36You can't disrespect the people who you're asking them to vote for.
00:40The two candidates are competing to win over Puerto Rican communities in Pennsylvania and
00:45other Swing States.
00:47Puerto Rico has a big, big issue because we don't know how to recycle.
00:53We don't recycle.
00:54We're hiring now neighboring little islands to come and pick up our trash.
00:59Maybe he thought that that's what he was saying.
01:02So the only candidate today in the ballot that represents Latino values is Donald Trump
01:08and the Republican Party.
01:10We are family first.
01:12We're family oriented.
01:16Pennsylvania is the biggest Swing State in the U.S. and its 19 electoral votes could
01:21be the difference between victory or defeat for either candidate.
