'Disgraceful' Trump Puerto Rico scandal 'tipping point' for Latino voters in swing state

EXCLUSIVE: Latino voters in the crucial swing state of Pennsylvania have expressed their outrage following a comedian's derogatory comments about Puerto Rico at a Donald Trump rally in New York.

In eastern Pennsylvania’s largely Hispanic city of Allentown, residents have been left fuming over a racist joke made about Puerto Rico at a Donald Trump rally, with some locals describing the incident as a “tipping point.”

Backlash against Trump’s campaign continues days after a comedian at the New York rally called Puerto Rico a “floating island of garbage.”

Proud Puerto Rican and longtime Allentown local Angelo Ortega described the comments as “degrading," saying that while he was a registered Republican, he would vote for Democrat Kamala Harris on Election Day.
