Trump's Puerto Rico fallout is 'spreading like wildfire' in Pennsylvania

Fat stupid racist Nazi pig.

Donald Trump has a serious Puerto Rico problem " in Pennsylvania. Many Puerto Rican voters in the state are furious about racist and demeaning comments delivered at a Trump rally. Some say their dismay is giving Kamala Harris a new opening to win over the state's Latino voters, particularly nearly half a million Pennsylvanians of Puerto Rican descent. Evidence of the backlash was immediate on Monday: A nonpartisan Puerto Rican group drafted a letter urging its members to oppose Trump on election day. Other Puerto Rican voters were lighting up WhatsApp chats with reactions to the vulgar display and raising it in morning conversations at their bodegas. Some are planning to protest Trump's rally Tuesday in Allentown, a majority-Latino city with one of the largest Puerto Rican populations in the state.

---- getting real, now.

Yeah.

Fmr Pres Trump and his campaign seem to be trying to deflect conversations away from the comments spoken at the trump rally at MSG.

Change the discussion topic to something, anything, else.

First they came for the Childless Cat Ladies
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Childless Cat Lady

Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist

Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist

Then they came for the 'Ricans
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a 'Rican

Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me

apologies to Pastor Niemoller... although since it's about Nazis, there wasn't much change needed

Yeah.

Fmr Pres Trump seems to think that his hate-filled rallies are lovefests, filled with people who worship him.

Though, in a way, he may be correct in that attribution.

They ARE lovefests for him and what he espouses.

... The song's theme is inspired by the Spanish Civil War, and the idealism of Welsh volunteers who joined the left-wing International Brigades fighting for the Spanish Republic against Francisco Franco's military rebels.

The song takes its name from a Republican propaganda poster of the time written in English and displaying a photograph of a child killed by the Nationalists, under a sky filled with bomber aircraft, with the song's titular warning written at the bottom.[3] ...

Sure they are. If any Democrats actually believes your own bullshit, hope over to Polymarket and triple your money. But, you won't. And you won't because even the Kamala dead-enders know what is coming.

Yes, another Red Wave! Just like the last one.

Which was no 'wave' at all... it was more a skin of the teeth election.

... Republican candidate faces backlash after airing of racist insults at his New York gathering

Lisa Harmony had a warning for Donald Trump as she stood outside the small grocery store she runs in a heavily Puerto Rican neighbourhood of Allentown, Pennsylvania, one of the cities that will decide next week's US election.

Two days after a rightwing comedian at a huge Trump rally in New York City called Puerto Rico, a US territory in the Caribbean Sea, an "island of garbage", Harmony said the fallout could be brutal for the former president.

"I think he's going to lose a lot of votes because of that. Definitely a lot of the Latino population," Harmony said.

Pennsylvania, the largest battleground state and the biggest prize in the White House race between Trump and vice-president Kamala Harris, has a Puerto Rican population of nearly 500,000. As US citizens, the adults can vote. ...

Is there any wonder why the Trump campaign seems to be so vigorously trying to walk back the comments at the MSG Trump rally?

You should be more worried about the Kamala/Montell Williams sex tape dropping before the election than this.

WATCH: Old Footage Of Kamala Harris And TV Personality Montel Williams Resurfaces (July 2024)
thesource.com

... Old video footage has resurfaced of VP Kamala Harris and former television personality Montel Williams in 2001, when the two used to date.

The footage pre-dates Harris' political career and shows the two attending a red carpet event together. Harris was heading the Family and Children's Services Division of San Francisco and would win her first political position as the San Francisco DA in 2004. At the time, Williams was in the midst of the syndicated run of The Montel Williams Show, which would end in 2008.

The relationship didn't last long, with Harris meeting her husband, attorney Doug Emhoff, through a friend in 2013, while Williams married American Airlines flight steward Tara Fowler in 2007. Williams said he had "great respect" for Harris in a tweet as she was named Joe Biden's running mate for the 2020 election. ...

So, a woman dating a man seems to be an issue for your current alias?

And, as a followup, this apparently was "on the 'Net" back in July. What took your current alias so long to find it?

I mean, really.

No, everyone already knows she was the 3rd wheel in a Throuple with Montel Williams.

What we are talking about now is the sex tape they made together dropping. This has at least the credibility of the Trump hooker pee tape from 2016 and rumor is that it is being shopped now to drop before the election.

What to Know About Kamala Harris and Montel Williams' Dating History (August 2024)
www.marieclaire.com

... Old photos of the former couple have gone viral online.

Since President Joe Biden announced he was withdrawing from the 2024 presidential race and endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris, all eyes have been on the former senator.

Now, as the official Democratic nominee for president, voters are learning more about the first woman and first Black and South Asian person to become vice president of the United States. Everything from her net worth, relationship with her father, and record as an attorney general are now under the proverbial microscope"even her romantic history.

While Harris has been happily married to Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff since 2014, she previously dated another public figure: Montel Williams. The talk show host's previous relationship with Harris resurfaced after right-wing social media influencers shared archival photos of the pair attending an event decades ago on X (formerly known as Twitter) back in 2019.

Right-wing provocateur and failed candidate for Congress Laura Loomer more recently used the photos to attack Harris in a since-deleted post, making sexist remarks about Harris and accusing her of being a sex worker. (Justifiably, the posts were flagged as "hateful content.")

Partisan and baseless attacks aside, Harris' dating history with Williams is back in the spotlight, so here's a trip down memory lane. ...

Do you imagine Biden will walk back his statements about Trump supporters being garbage?

Seems that would be more offensive given he's not trying to be funny, but I am not sure of the nuances everyone else is so sure of. You seem to be an expert on being offended.

My first question is:

Why should he walk back something that seems to be quite obvious?

As a follow-up, I would add that Pres Biden is not running for re-election.

So, then I'll ask, why should he?

Oh! Oh! I can answer that! Because Onenut doesn't have a point and can't defend the wretched behavior of the speakers AND the crowd at Trump's BundsFest Rally. Soooo... he tries to deflect!

How'd I do? ;-)
