President Biden made headlines with his recent comments about pro-Trump comedian Tony Hinchliffe during a speech in Baltimore, Maryland. The President's remarks came in the context of announcing over $3 billion in funding from his Inflation Reduction Act to modernize ports in various states and territories, including Puerto Rico.
During his speech, Biden jokingly mentioned wanting to take Hinchliffe 'for a swim' at Baltimore's harbor, eliciting laughter from the audience. The President's comment was in response to Hinchliffe's controversial remarks at a Trump campaign rally where he made jokes mocking different ethnic groups, including a disparaging comment about Puerto Rico.
