WASHINGTON — Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign is seizing on racist comments made by an ally of Donald Trump this weekend about Puerto Ricans to launch a new digital ad targeting Latino voters that argues they “deserve better” than what the former president has to offer. 

The paid media blitz follows derogatory remarks from comedian Tony Hinchcliffe, who made crude jokes about Latinos and called Puerto Rico a “floating island of garbage” during the pre-program at Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally Sunday. 

The 30-second spot will run online in battleground states on platforms like YouTube TV, Hulu and Snapchat, where Latinos consume a lot of their media, according to a Harris campaign official who first shared the details with NBC News.  

Pennsylvania alone is home to more than 450,000 Puerto Ricans, according to U.S. Census data, with more than 300,000 eligible voters, per the Latino Data Hub.

Trump rally in New York overshadowed by his allies' racist remarks

Beyond Pennsylvania, there are sizable Puerto Rican populations in North Carolina, Wisconsin and Michigan as well, where the race could be determined by mere margins. 

In addition to the ad, the Harris official said the Democrat's campagin will also place new digital ads in “El Nuevo Dia,” the most popular newspaper in Puerto Rico, through Election Day. They will include a GIF that says in Spanish: “Focus on your family in the States. One voice, one vote.” 

The new Harris campaign video starts out with the comedian’s own words, before turning to Trump saying “Puerto Rico” and then ending on Harris’ comments about how the former president responded when Hurricane Maria devastated the island in 2017.

“I will never forget what Donald Trump did. He abandoned the island and offered nothing more than paper towels and insults,” Harris says, taken from a message her campaign had released Sunday as she was courting Puerto Rican voters in Pennsylvania, well before the Trump rally.  

“As president, I will always fight for you and your families and together, we can chart a new way forward,” the ad concludes. 

The Trump campaign attempted to distance itself from the remarks and some high-profile Republicans quickly rebuked them. 

Before Trump's event, Harris had rolled out her economic proposals for the Puerto Rican community during stops in Philadelphia, including at one Puerto Rican restaurant. 

Her agenda, if elected, includes launching an “opportunity economy” for Puerto Ricans, including building a resilient energy grid by cutting bureaucratic red tape that has slowed projects in recent years. 

The Harris campaign posted a video summarizing the policy, which was later shared on Instagram by Puerto Rican superstars like Bad Bunny, Jennifer Lopez, Ricky Martin and Luis Fonzi. 

Some had already backed the vice president but Harris aides hope their decision to amplify her message during this moment has a large ripple affect with their massive followings. Taken together, the four musicians have more than 300 million Instagram followers.

You could hear the crowd groaning about the “joke” like they all knew that was a big blow to their election hopes. 

People who spread anti Asian or any other racism aren’t comedians. They are stochastic terrorists.

Don’t you mean, “there’s a lot of lazy Puerto Ricans in PA to ‘steal’ the election from the hard working, real ‘Murican people that live there?”

Kamala wanted to only do an hour (I presume because of schedule but it plays a bit into Trumps talk of her not being up to a long form interview) and Rogan had to fly to her. 

He wants to do it in his studio, and obviously as a full episode.

Democrats two months ago: “Noncitizens don’t vote—or even *register* to vote.”

Democrats now: “We’re suing states that try to remove noncitizens from voter rolls.”

The campaign clearly didn't see a benefit in having Harris travel to him. Maybe that is a mistake but who knows.

My guess is that the make up of his audience is likely heavily white male.

Like goods being smuggled into our country, only a small percentage get caught. 

And 62 failed law suits prove it.

Show us the lawsuits that actually went to trail and evidence presented.

.the law states that if you don’t have evidence the lawsuit gets dismissed. That’s America. Is Wikipedia in on it also?

2020 U.S. presidential election
Timeline

After the 2020 United States presidential election, the campaign for incumbent President Donald Trump and others filed 62 lawsuits contesting election processes, vote counting, and the vote certification process in 9 states (including Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin) and the District of Columbia.[1][2]

Nearly all the suits were dismissed or dropped due to lack of evidence or lack of standing,[3] including 30 lawsuits that were dismissed by the judge after a hearing on the merits.[4] Among the judges who dismissed the lawsuits were some appointed by Trump himself.[5]Judges, lawyers, and other observers described the suits as "frivolous"[6] and "without merit".[7][8] In one instance, the Trump campaign and other groups seeking his reelection collectively lost multiple cases in six states on a single day.[9] Only one ruling was initially in Trump's favor: the timing within which first-time Pennsylvania voters must provide proper identification if they wanted to "cure" their ballots. This ruling affected very few votes,[10] and it was later overturned by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court

Now York County in PA with possible voter fraud

If voter fraud does not make a difference in elections, why do people do it.....

Johnny Abruzzo

Apparently Joe Rogan regretted not asking Trump about the - checks notes - polio vaccine.

I had a next door neighbor who was an elderly Italian woman who had been afflicted by polio. She could never walk right after that. She lived a long amazing life working and volunteering with the church and being a poll worker for decades. (After she couldn't work the polls anymore I took over.) All that, I'm sure she'd have loved to have gotten the polio vaccine.

I think Kamala was right to skip this dickhead. Fuck Joe Rogan.

Reminder: Because of Harris, there are tens of thousands unaccounted for children that crossed the border illegally.

Reminder: without context this seems worse than it is.

Haha, I'm not doggin' you Mick.  I like that you post the image.  But it can be hard to read sometimes.  Also I'm now old so that doesn't help.  "Cool Jazz"... I don't know about that name.  Doesn't feel as Bitches Brew as I would like.

Republicans pre-Trump "We are for the rule of law"

Republicans now "Who gives a fuck that Youngkin's EO violates a federal law".  

Happy to have that discussion so you can understand how you are wrong about what is happening in Virginia.  He's had two years to clean up the rolls but decides to do it in the Quiet Period.  Why do you think that is?  There is ample evidence that people being removed were actually citizens.  He chose NOT to cross-check the DMV. 

Johnny Abruzzo

You have to clean up voter rolls after elections. Youngkin had plenty of time to do this, except he's incompetent, like everyone else in his treacherous political party.
