A Trump Rally Speaker Trashed Puerto Ricans. Harris reached out to them.

[SimplyMe]

Below on the left side of the image are the results of a google search going back five years. I couldn't find any major news sources (NYT, AP, NBC, ABC, CBS, Fox, MSNBC, NPR, Newsweek, etc.) reporting on the landfill problems in Puerto Rico on the first several pages. You have to go back more than six years to find any mainstream news sources reporting on it.

The real irony is if you do a similar search about New York City's trash problems.

Is it helping her make up for this?​

Kamala Harris And Her Attack On Hispanic Values​

Vice President Kamala Harris and the Left are not hiding their radical agenda. They are openly attacking the values that hold the Hispanic community together: faith, family, freedom and meaningful work.​

​

Our traditions, rooted in faith and hard work, have carried us through generations of hardship, helping us build strong families and thriving communities. However, the Left has made it clear that it will not protect these values. Instead, it seeks to dismantle them, eroding the very foundations of our lives.​

​

Kamala Harris’ recent interview with NBC is a chilling example of this assault. She dismissed the idea of religious exemptions in her proposed federal abortion bill, making it certain that healthcare professionals will be forced to cooperate in abortions even if it violates their faith. “There will be no concessions,” Harris declared, underscoring her belief that abortion rights must override religious freedom. With these words, Harris sent a loud message to religious Americans, especially Hispanic Christians: Your faith will not be respected, and your freedom of conscience will not be protected. This makes her not only pro-abortion but also anti-religious freedom.​

Biden apparently decided that the best response to defend Haiti being referred to as "garbage" was to call ALL Trump supporters "garbage".

That video is taken out of context. He was talking about his supporter's demonization of latinos. He wasn't talking about all Trump supporters.

 

[probinson]

He was saying his supporter's demonization of latinos. He wasn't talking about all Trump supporters.

No, he wasn't. Here's a longer clip.


This is 2024's "Basket of Deplorables™" moment.

I believe the watermelon joke was ad libbed. I'm skeptical the Puerto Rico joke was. I say that solely based on the ways in which the jokes were delivered.

It was planned. I found the reference:

Thank you for the longer clip.

A White House transcript of what was said in the video:

"And just the other day, a speaker at his rally he [Tony Hinchcliff] called Puerto Rico a "floating island of garbage." Well, let me tell you something. I don't — I — I don't know the Puerto Rican that — that I know —or a Puerto Rico, where I'm fr— in my home state of Delaware, they're good, decent, honorable people. The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporter's [Tony Hinchcliffe] — his — his demonization of Latinos is unconscionable, and it's un-American. It's totally contrary to everything we've done, everything we've been."

He's talking about Trump supporter Tony Hinchcliffe's demonization of Latinos.

You know the really sad part about Kamala speeches?
All the diatribes about Trump, the word salads, the appaling lack of fact or originality?
There is some person who is writing that stuff on a teleprompter.
She is just reading it.
Consider the appalling lack of English skills behind that screen.
Is that awful or what?

Have you ever watched Kamala Harris give a speech?

 

[QvQ]

Have you ever watched Kamala Harris give a speech?

OK I listened to it...
It is Awful
The same old over and over
And Lies ...
That is terrible
Hate Trump, be afraid.
Trump Trump Trump over and over.
And that is exactly who she is

Read my words:
That is the same speech she has been giving for the past 3 months.
Sometimes she goes off script as in reading the Gospel to the Archbishop and then explaining to him what the Gospel of Luke means.
And she says that we need to vote for her to help God.
She could not post on this forum and get anyone to give her a "like"
She is repetitive and basically incoherent.
JMHO
And America's got talent. Surely there are better speech writers who could maybe fix her up a bit
Off topic so I will add on topic: she does promise to wave the magic government money wand over the Islands and turn them into tropical paradises.
OK, but what about the price of bananas on the mainland lately?

No, he wasn't. Here's a longer clip.


This is 2024's "Basket of Deplorables™" moment.

It's actually worse because Hillary at least gave the caveat.

Biden didn't, he was calling all Trump supporters to the last "garbage".

Even people like that ER doctor who was saving lives at the Butler rally...

Apparently we are all garbage...

We have been called racists, garbage, deplorable, Nazis, fascists, ignorant and more by the lot of them.

And they wonder why people are angry..

 

[Hazelelponi]

The real irony is if you do a similar search about New York City's trash problems.

I think it was Gutfield who mentioned that. Said New York was jealous since they are the floating island of garbage .

Lol.

We do need to figure out what to do with it all .. I was thinking we could make some trips to the moon.. Lol

 

[Hazelelponi]

Have you ever watched Kamala Harris give a speech?

Have you ever seen her teleprompter go down?

32 days... 32 days... 32 days...

Haha haha that was funny.

She can't speak without a teleprompter.

People might not like Trump without a teleprompter because he doesn't stay on point but at least he can speak on issues without one.

I found who did the poll but they are a private outfit that was quoted in an article, Cygnal.
They are highly rated but only do polls for paying customers from what I could gather.

Thay have done polls since MSG among Latinos and so far no effect.
Hasn't changed a thing, in fact the polls are up a bit.
The polls among Puerto Ricans were stable but Cygnal said it is not relevent because Puerto Ricans are primarily Democrat voters.
Hasn't move the needle at all except in some Latino groups, there is an uptick for Trump.

It won't move the needle when Biden calls Republicans garbage.
Democrats will nod along, chanting "garbage" in the chorus
Republicans will be insulted and angry
Biden's specific remarks merely adds to divisiveness and disunity which seems to be the motive behind the rhetoric
Divide the nation and conquer.

Biden calls Trump supporters "garbage"; Trump calls democrats "lunatics," "evil," "dangerous," "the enemy within", etc.

Seems there's a lot of divisiveness and disunity to go around.

Divide the nation and conquer.

So who's doing the dividing, and who's doing the conquering?

-- A2SG, the guy who isn't running for office?

 

[QvQ]

Trump calls democrats "lunatics," "evil," "dangerous," "the enemy within", etc.

Was that before or after the FBI labeled Catholics "domestic terrorist?"

There will always be an "enemy within" when a country has a Federal Police Force.
J. Edgar Hoover, himself (allegedly) abused that power
And at times, the Politicians have used and abused that power.

The FBI should be under the control of the President.
Biden appears to have allowed the FBI to engage in partisan politics and their own agenda, although he may have directed.
Trump is saying "enemies within"

Trump expects Americans to be well enough educated to understand where that "enemy" is.
The FBI has been used for the power of an individual within its ranks (J. Edgar)
And the FBI has been used for political partisanship.

Being educated in American Civics, I understand what and where the enemies might emerge.
The Democrats are frightening people into believing it is they who Trump is going after.
Because frightening those people will get those people to vote Democrat
And the FBI can continue as a corrupt arm of the politicians against political enemies great and small.

The FBI has an honorable and worthy role that serves the people.
The FBI lately seems to be a corrupt tool for politicians to use against the opposition.
Trump would end that, as a President of the all the people could restore the integrity of our corrupted government.
Sorry so many slept through Civics class so this is a long lesson.

He's talking about Trump supporter Tony Hinchcliffe's demonization of Latinos.

No he wasn't and it's disingenuous to say otherwise.

Biden has neither denied, nor apologized that he called all Trump's supporters garbage.

He tried to clarify and clean up, but didn't deny he said it and he didn't apologize for calling half the country garbage.

You want Trump to bow down to the Puerto Ricans and apologize for what someone else said when he wasn't even present and that was intended as comedic.

Where is our apology then? Where's the apology from CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CNBC, PBS, The Democratic National Committee, all the Democrats holding office and their surrogates?

The American people are owed an apology for all the lies...and that's just to start.

 

[A2SG]

Was that before or after the FBI labeled Catholics "domestic terrorist?"

I have no idea, you'll have to provide documentation for when the FBI did that. Unless they were labelling a specific person, who happened to be catholic, as a "domestic terrorist," I suppose that's entirely possible. But if you're claiming the FBI labelled every single catholic in the US as a "domestic terrorist," you'll have to show me when they did that. Because, I pass by a catholic church all the time, it's just down the street from my house, and there are people going in and out of it all the time (especially on Sundays), so either the FBI hasn't gotten around to policing Massachusetts yet, or something may be amiss in the information you learned from.....wherever you learned that from.

There will always be an "enemy within" when a country has a Federal Police Force.
J. Edgar Hoover, himself (allegedly) abused that power
And at times, the Politicians have used and abused that power.

Seems like something rife with abuse. Probably the FBI should specifically define who is and who isn't an "enemy within" by some process....due process, maybe. Just as a suggestion.

The FBI should be under the control of the President.

I don't agree with this. The President has other things to do than to control the FBI. Maybe take this one off his plate.

Biden appears to have allowed the FBI to engage in partisan politics and their own agenda, although he may have directed.

Or he may not have. Anything's possible, I suppose. It's also quite possible he didn't engage the FBI to do anything. So long as we're imagining stuff, we can imagine anything we want to.

Trump is saying "enemies within"

And that sounds like a good reason to not allow Trump anywhere near any position where it might allow him to act on that belief. Just as a suggestion, letting him retire to Mar A Lago rather than hold any political office sounds like a good idea.

Trump expects Americans to be well enough educated to understand where that "enemy" is.

Gee, I wonder if different Americans will have different opinions on this.

The FBI has been used for the power of an individual within its ranks (J. Edgar)
And the FBI has been used for political partisanship.

Sounds to me like oversight would be a good idea here, rather than leave it all in the hands of one single individual.

Being educated in American Civics, I understand what and where the enemies might emerge.
The Democrats are frightening people into believing it is they who Trump is going after.

By quoting him saying so, himself.

Because frightening those people will get those people to vote Democrat
And the FBI can continue as a corrupt arm of the politicians against political enemies great and small.

I'm going to assume you have evidence to support this claim, and simply forgot to include it. I'll wait....

The FBI has an honorable and worthy role that serves the people.
The FBI lately seems to be a corrupt tool for politicians to use against the opposition.
Trump would end that, as a President of the all the people could restore the integrity of our corrupted government.

Um, Trump has said he would use the government, including the mililtary, to target those who oppose him, politically. I posted the video above, you can hear him say so in his own words.

Sorry so many slept through Civics class so this is a long lesson.

Would that Trump was awake during that class.

-- A2SG, all the more reason to not vote for him, I'd say.....

 

[JosephZ]

No he wasn't and it's disingenuous to say otherwise.

He was definitely not talking about all Trump supporters.

Before President Biden says, "The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporter's...," he said, "just the other day, a speaker at his rally he called Puerto Rico a 'floating island of garbage...'"

The speaker he is referring to in that sentence is Tony Hinchcliff.

He goes on to say "The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporter's — his — his demonization of Latinos is unconscionable, and it's un-American."

We know President Biden is speaking about Tony Hinchcliff specifically because in that sentence he uses the pronoun "him." If President Biden was talking about all Trump supporters, he would have used the pronoun "their."

"The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters — their— their demonization of Latinos is unconscionable, and it's un-American."

It's simple grammar. The people taking his words out of context are the ones being disingenuous.

Donald Trump describes his rally at New York's Madison Square Garden, an event marked by crude and racist insults by several speakers, a “lovefest.” Trump notes that “there’s never been an event so beautiful...”
