This is more of an opinion piece but yes these statements are true. At the beginning of the Trump rally, there were racist jokes made about Latinos and African Americans. Another joke calling Puerto Rico an island of garbage was made at the rally. The Trump administration made a statement saying "This joke does not reflect the views of President Trump or the Campaign". I think the article is true but its more based on opinion than fact. What someone is to determine morally what is wrong and right.
Can't be true or false (Opinion, poem, etc.)
