The Facts

  • After Sunday's Trump rally at Madison Square Garden in New York City, Archbishop Roberto O. Gonzalez Nieves of San Juan, Puerto Rico, urged former President Donald Trump to personally apologize for the controversial remarks made by comedian Tony Hinchcliffe.

  • Hinchcliffe described the US island territory as a "floating island of garbage." "I appreciate a good joke; however, humor has its limits," the Archbishop stated in a social media shared letter. "It should not insult or undermine the dignity and sacredness of people."
