Sorry, Trump, outrage over your racist NYC rally isn't going away

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

GOP vice presidential nominee JD Vance tried to stop the bleeding from the Republican presidential ticket, after a comedian made a racist joke about Puerto Rico and Latinos at a Trump campaign rally at Madison Square Garden on Sunday.

Vance said Monday night that people need to get "over it" and "stop getting so offended" at the joke, in which Tony Hinchcliffe called Puerto Rico a "floating island of garbage" and made a vulgar comment about Latinos and ejaculating without protection.

“A comedian told a joke, and I don’t think that’s news worth making,” Vance told a reporter at a campaign rally in Wisconsin, according to NBC News.

But voters don’t seem to be buying Vance’s argument, as the outrage over the so-called “joke” is not going away. The media, usually averse to calling things racist, has been unafraid to label Trump’s MSG rally as such.

3. Um.... yup

The assertion that some of us are "sensitive," or "politically correct" or even "woke" does not erase that what was on display at MSG was blatant racism and bigotry.
