A comedian made a joke today about Puerto Rico being a “floating island of garbage” at Trump’s rally and both AOC and Tim Walz took time out of their stupid nintendo game day to try and generate a bunch of fake outrage over it.
Gov. Walz and @AOC react to this clip: “When you have some a-hole calling Puerto Rico ‘floating garbage,’ know that that's what they think about you.

The comedian, Tony Hinchcliffe, responded to this by saying:
“These people have no sense of humor. Wild that a vice presidential candidate would take time out of his “busy schedule” to analyze a joke taken out of context to make it seem racist. I love Puerto Rico and vacation there. I made fun of everyone…watch the whole set. I’m a comedian Tim…might be time to change your tampon.”
AOC then hit back by outrageously claiming Trump is responsible for over 4,000 Puerto Ricans dying or something:
You’re opening for Trump by calling Puerto Rico a floating pile of garbage. 4,000+ Puerto Ricans died under him. This isn’t the comedy store. You’re using your set to boost neo-Nazis like MTG & stripping women’s rights to the Stone Age. Your “sense of humor” doesn’t change that.
Honestly, it was a dumb joke but it was still clearly a joke. This is nothing but fake outrage by people desperate to win the election.
