Bad Bunny endorses Harris after comedian at Trump rally jokes that Puerto Rico is a 'floating island of garbage
Bad Bunny, whose real name is Benito Antonio Martinez Ocasio, shared a video supporting Harris with his 45 million Instagram followers shortly after Tony Hinchcliffe made inappropriate jokes
about Puerto Rico and Latinos during the sold-out event at Madison Square Garden. A representative for Bad Bunny confirmed his support for Harris.
Earlier that day, Harris visited a Puerto Rican restaurant in North Philadelphia to engage with Hispanic and Latino voters in Pennsylvania, a crucial battleground state. In the video shared by Bad Bunny,
Harris emphasized the stakes for Puerto Rican voters, highlighting how Trump "abandoned the island" after Hurricane Maria and offered "nothing but paper towels and insults."
The Trump campaign quickly distanced itself from Hinchcliffe's comments, with spokesman Daniel Alvarez stating that the joke did not reflect the views of the campaign or the former president.
Bad Bunny, a 30-year-old Puerto Rican artist known for hits like "Dakiti" and "Titti Me Pregunto," has won three Grammy Awards and was the most streamed artist on Spotify in 2020,
