Trump loyalists spew racist, vulgar attacks at Harris and Democrats at New York City rally

Question

CNN article posted on Sunday, October 27th that at an NYC MAGA rally, trump loyalists such as Tony Hinchcliffe, a comedian, and David Rem, a Republican politician had been claiming racist and vulgar remarks towards Puerto Ricans, democratic politicians, and mostly Kamala Harris. Is this an over exaggeration?

Comments

I would try be interested to see how other sources discuss this issue. CNN can be quite unbiased and I would be especially careful of articles that use words such as racist or vulgar in the title, as they are opinion pieces and may have objectives besides just trying to be informative.

Answer 1

Did you read the article?

It's up to you to decide what you consider vulgar and racist, but the comments made by Hinchcliffe certainly fit the bill, in my opinion. And comments were definitely made:

...there’s literally a floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean right now. I think it's called Puerto Rico.

These Latinos, they love making babies, too. Just know that they do. (CNN)

A look at some of the other comments made:

Hinchcliffe, whose set was intended to warm up the crowd, veered into what many described as offensive territory, quipping that Latinos “love making babies”, before likening their presence to an “invasion of the country”. (Al Jazeera)

Skipping the part we've already covered, the article continues:

Hinchcliffe, 40, continued with racially insensitive jokes, mentioning Black friends he “carved watermelons” with and suggesting that Jewish people “have a hard time throwing paper”. His punchlines drew only scattered applause from the crowd.

Bad Bunny, Jennifer Lopez, Luis Fonsi, Ricky Martin and journalist Geraldo Rivera condemned the set on social media, as stated in the Al Jazeera article. You can watch the full set for yourself, too — I'd highly encourage it.
