tambiÉn republicanos como marÍa elvira salazar y el senador rick scott de florida condenaron las palabras sobre el tema, pero el vicepresidente bans dijo the joke, you know, maybe maybe it's a stupid racist joke cause you said aranza. y dÍas antes de que se anunciara que donald trump iba a estar aquÍ en el madison square garden, habÍa bastante expectativa. justo enfrente de este lugar. se encuentran los albergues de migrantes que sabemos donald trump se ha ido en varias ocasiones en contra de esta comunidad. sin embargo, todo fluyÓ de manera tranquila. no hubo manifestaciones aquÍ afuera. lo que ocurriÓ anoche allÍ adentro no se esperaba y menos porque los puertorriqueÑos, como sabemos, es una de las comunidades mÁs grandes aquÍ en nueva york. aranza. >> asÍ es karla amezola gracias por este reporte en puerto rico. los comentarios despectivos de este evento de campaÑa dominaron las noticias locales y unieron a demÓcratas y republicanos en un repudio unÁnime en un mensaje en la red, el gobernador pedro pierluisi publicÓ que las declaraciones resaltan el prejuicio y racismo que aÚn persiste

and i think rick scott who's running for reelection in florida, the state with the largest population of puerto ricans, jumping out with a statement sort of first last night, indicates the sensitivity around this issue. this moment could not have been worse timed. yesterday, before this happened, kamala harris put out her plan for puerto rico. she was touring a puerto rican business in philadelphia, and as all of this was happening, you had bad bunny, jennifer lopez, ricky martin. people with tens of millions of dollars on social media, amplifying what kamala harris was talking about, at a time when someone who was functioning as a trump campaign surrogate was trashing their island. pennsylvania is the third highest population of puerto rican voters. about 300,000 voting age puerto ricans in pennsylvania, that could be hugely determinative in a state that everyone i talked to in both campaigns agreed is the key state for the election. all of it matters. how much the trump campaign decides they want to engage with this, versus pushing out of the headlines, is a strategic decision i hav

it's definitely i don't think debbie is more than two down in florida rick scott is not poppy at all. and let me tell you something that's affecting floridians and ways that you can imagine. and that's despite in home insurance rates and that affects latino communities vastly because they want to get in there entering the home, the home market in buying houses, and people can't afford these insurance rates the huge story on 60 minutes. so del, a number of issues we have, but i promise you, they put in foreign thousand dollars in there because i know they're polling and they go, oh, like, we could win this thing and you could if we lose montana, you're going to have to win florida, texas, and nebraska. and i think people under saying that vice president harris on the top of the ticket, obviously we know this summer has been crazy and president biden settling down many would say that he was forced out. >> many would look to you when saying that i want to play a clip from the new cnn film carville, winning is everything stupid where you talk all about that? >> i am very comfortable dead

billionaires along with larry hogan, want to empower the caucus with mitch mcconnell, ted cruz, rick scotts, and larry hogan is squarely on their team, and they are spending big bucks. >> to get the $43 million, a couple of billionaires had to throw in cash, too. there's that piece of it. >> not so much. i was just showing that we have, this past quarter the largest quarter we had, $14 million. i'm proud of, 95%, $200 or less, and marylanders, it was 37,000 marylanders contributing. >> that's good, but there's another 5%. set that aside. the question, though, you talked about economic development, i'm curious how do you converse. it's not been realized to make the county the centerpiece of the economic development. one of the wealthiest black counties in the country. what is the narrative there when you go around and talk to folks looking at the county, what do you think about your leadership of the county in the development space when we are lagging behind, montgomery county, northern virginia, howard county? what we know, the county executive, led the state. i have created more job than

caller: i want be voting for rick scott, either. elon musk is giving donald trump all this money to send out ads. they are sending out ads in all of these states telling them not to vote for kamala harris because she is a jew hater. i have seen biden in the back of the car driving down the street. trumbull do anything to win. millions of dollars to muska sending out harris stuff to people in michigan, all of this stuff. musk is the biggest liar ever. his campaign is given billions of dollars. i seen biden in the back of the truck. i've seen all kinds of stuff. the stuff is crazy. it is all the money he is giving him because he doesn't have no money for his ground game. he is sending out fake letter, kamala harris sticking her hand and an electric thing on television and is going to take away all of this stuff. the stuff is baloney. host: any response to the caller? guest: we are seeing elon musk play an unusual role in this election cycle. he has given more money than he ever has in the past to support truck's election -- support tr

and quote, a spokeswoman told cnn the florida senator rick scott a republican running for reelection, wrote this on x quote, this joke bombed for a reason, it's not funny and not true. puerto ricans are amazing people and amazing americans there are about 1.1 million of them in florida who could vote for or against scott famous puerto ricans, bad bunny, j.lo, ricky martin, millions of social media followers among them quickly posted pro-harris videos as harris herself, it campaigned at a puerto rican restaurant earlier in the day and here was her running mate, tim walz, with alexandra ocasio-cortez i mean, it's like super upsetting, obviously, it's super certain me at my family's from puerto rico, i'm breaking. >> i need people to understand that when when you have some a whole calling puerto rico, floating garbage know that that's what they think about you. >> there are hundreds of thousands of puerto rican across in battleground states that need to send them a message on this. >> i want them to like it it's worth noting that while we showed you that joke about the pile of garbage th

some of his allies, like senator rick scott of florida, peter navarro, former cabinet official, triedcreate more distance from the event. for trump, the way they handle these things is to lean in and say, look, it was a huge audience. maybe trump is rude or brash or the people he surrounds himself with are, but they'll get stuff done. that has been their approach to controversies like this in the past. with eight days to go, the stakes only get higher as the time grows shorter. we'll see in a few, short hours how fulsomely trump wants to address what we saw happen last night at msg. >> aaron, these offensive remarks about puerto rico happened on the same day vice president harris laid out her policy plan for puerto rico. how is her campaign dealing with this ugly rhetoric coming from the other side? >> reporter: the harris campaign really has created this side by side imagery, literally. they've taken to their social media platforms and presented what we saw at the trump rally yesterday with what we saw with vice president harris in pennsylvania, in philadelphia, in particular. she vi

we saw publicly people like rick scott posting that those comments were abhorrent. and even today we've seen some of donald trump's closest allies saying that nobody agreed with what the comedian said. and here's exactly what the campaign said. and they issued this fairly quickly. they said this joke does not reflect the views president of president trump or of the campaign. and as you said, this is a rare statement of themselves purposely distancing themselves from that comedian. i can tell you, i spoke to a number of senior advisers, a number of allies of the former president who were absolutely livid at these remarks particularly because they thought it overshadowed donald trump's entire appearance at madison square garden. one thing to keep in mind here, dan, i mean, somebody who goes to almost all of these rallies, nothing donald trump himself said last night was any different from what we have heard time and time again and reported on. this rhetoric around immigration, around crime, it's kind of fear stoking language that is all things that he has said before.
