The archbishop of Puerto Rico’s capital city has expressed his dismay and disapproval over a joke made by a speaker at a recent Donald Trump rally. The comedian and podcast host, who opened the rally in New York City, made a comment referring to Puerto Rico as a 'floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean.'
This remark has sparked strong criticism, including from Trump allies, despite efforts by the former president's campaign to distance itself from the joke. San Juan Archbishop Roberto O. Gonzalez Nieves issued a statement online, emphasizing that Puerto Rico is not a 'floating island of garbage' but rather a beautiful country with noble inhabitants.
