Nicky Jam Retracts Endorsement of Donald Trump Amid 'Floating Island of Garbage' Comments By Tony Hinchcliffe
Nicky Jam is un-endorsing Donald Trump.
This happened just days after Trump held a rally at Madison Square Garden in New York City, where comedian Tony Hinchcliffe got on stage and said, among other things that there’s a “floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean right now. I think it’s called Puerto Rico.”
In a post on Instagram, the 43-year-old entertainer revealed his retraction.
“The reason I supported Donald Trump is because I believed it was what’s best for the economy in the United States, where a lot of Latinos live… a lot of immigrants that are suffering over the state of the economy. With [Trump] being a businessman, I felt it was the right move,” he said, translated from Spanish to English.
He added that he “never in his life” thought that “a comedian would appear to criticize and talk badly about my [Puerto Rico]. That’s why I’m renouncing my support for Donald Trump and stepping away from any political conversation. Puerto Rico deserves respect.”
There are still celebrities who are endorsing Trump, and we’ve compiled a list.
