Aubrey Plaza Denounces Trump Rally’s Controversial Puerto Rico Joke

Aubrey Plaza took a moment at the WSJ Magazine Innovator Awards on Tuesday night to decry comedian Tony Hinchcliffe’s “floating island of trash” joke about Puerto Rico during a Donald Trump rally.

“I just wanted to respond really quickly to the racist joke that was made at that Trump rally about Puerto Rico, where most of my family is from,” Plaza said on stage at the Innovator Awards in New York. “Luckily my sweet abuelita wasn’t there to hear that disgusting comment.”

Plaza continued, “But if she were alive today, I think she’d be like, ‘Tony Hinchcliffe, go fuck yourself.’ And yes, the Wall Street Journal can quote me on that.”

Plaza was at the WSJ Magazine event to introduce basketball player A’ja Wilson as one of the 2024 winners.

The “Agatha All Along” star is one of the latest entertainment figures to respond to Hinchcliffe after he described Puerto Rico as a “floating island of trash in the middle of the ocean” during Trump’s Sunday evening rally at New York’s Madison Square Garden.

Luis Fonsi, the Puerto Rican singer who had a worldwide hit in 2017 with “Despacito,” wrote on his Instagram Story on Sunday: “We do not agree with this constant hatred. It’s obvious that these people have no respect for us and yet they want our vote. I wrote this in English on purpose, because hey, we’re American too.”

Bad Bunny, Jennifer Lopez and Ricky Martin, meanwhile, have boosted Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris by sharing her campaign materials with voters in Puerto Rico.
