On Tuesday, actress and producer Aubrey Plaza was the latest to call out Donald Trump’s racist rally at Madison Square Garden, where far-right comedian Tony Hinchcliffe labeled Puerto Rico as a “floating island of garbage” and told other tired, racist jokes.
"As a Puerto Rican woman, I just wanted to very quickly respond to the racist joke that was made at that Trump rally, about Puerto Rico, where most of my family is from,” Plaza told the audience at The Wall Street Journal Magazine’s Innovator Awards, where she was a presenter. “Thankfully, my sweet abuelita wasn't here to hear that disgusting remark, but if she was alive today, I think she would say 'Tony Hinchcliffe, go fuck yourself!' And yes, The Wall Street Journal can quote me on that."
