A young Puerto Rican voter told a CNN reporter Tuesday that she supports Republican nominee Donald Trump because she wants a president who will provide a “better life in the future.”
The first-time voter said she wants Trump to win and brushed off the embattled joke made by comedian Tony Hinchcliffe during an Oct. 27 rally at Madison Square Garden, where he joked that Puerto Rico is a “floating island of garbage.” The voter said while she found the joke offensive, she accepts herself and is focused on a better future.
“Who do you want to win?” CNN correspondent Randi Kaye asked.
“Trump,” the voter replied.

The voter said she and her family collectively made the decision to vote for Trump because Vice President Kamala Harris did not provide any clear answer on how she would benefit Americans’ lives, Kaye said. The CNN host pressed the voter on whether she found Hinchcliffe’s joke acceptable.
“As a Puerto Rican, you’re okay with that, though?” Kaye asked.
“No, definitely not. I just think, you know, everyone has opinions. They don’t like Puerto Ricans, it hurts, of course, but at the end of the day I’m okay with who I am and at the end of the day, I want to have a better life in the future,” the voter said.
Trump came under fire for Hinchcliffe’s joke during the massive rally at Madison Square Garden, which the corporate media compared to the Nazi rally at the stadium in 1939. Democrats, including former President Bill Clinton, have held political events and rallies at the same stadium in the past.
