Puerto Rico's Republican Party chairman has threatened to withhold his support for Donald Trump unless he issues an apology for an offensive remark that a comedian made about Puerto Rico at the former president's Madison Square Garden rally on Sunday.

Tony Hinchcliffe called Puerto Rico "a floating island of garbage" during an opening speech at the rally.

Puerto Rico’s Republican Party chairman has called on Trump to apologize for an offensive remark a comedian made about Puerto Rico.

"I love Puerto Rico and vacation there," he wrote on X, adding that he "made fun of everyone" during his set.

Danielle Alvarez, a senior adviser to the Trump campaign, previously said in a statement to Newsweek that the Puerto Rico "joke does not reflect the views of President Trump or the campaign.".

But Angel Cintrón, the chairman of the Republican Party of Puerto Rico, called on Trump to personally apologize for Hinchcliffe's comment on Jugando Pelota Dura, a Puerto Rican talk show on Monday.

"If Donald Trump doesn't apologize to Puerto Rico, I'm not going to vote for him," Cintrón said. »
