Puerto Rico

The roast comic endorsed Donald Trump last month with a controversial stand-up set that included a joke about Puerto Rico many found racist and degrading.
Trump has been facing backlash after a comic called Puerto Rico "a floating island of garbage" at his Madison Square Garden rally.
“I referred to the hateful rhetoric about Puerto Rico ... as garbage — which is the only word I can think of to describe it,” the president said.
The chair of Puerto Rico’s Republican Party also said he would not support the former president without an apology over a comedian's insults at a Trump rally.
The vice presidential candidate said he hadn’t heard a comedian's offensive remark about Puerto Rico, which has rocked the Trump campaign.

“In his words, Puerto Rico was dirty and the people were poor,” Miles Taylor, who worked at the Department of Homeland Security, said of the president.
Trump viewed the island devastated by Hurricane Maria as a "businessman" weighing the value of an asset, Elaine Duke said.
