Robert F. Kennedy Jr@RobertKennedyJr·
Tony Hinchcliffe is my friend. His special comedic aptitude for shattering orthodoxies and offending sensitivities has made him the king of roast comedy. I was therefore dismayed but not shocked at his offensive joke about Puerto Rico at President Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally last weekend. I was also not surprised that the DNC’s allied corporate media did not report the groans of the crowd in response to Tony’s gag but instead leapt to weaponize the joke to validate their mischaracterization of the rally as a rightwing Nazi hate fest. The joke was a gift to DNC strategists striving to blunt President Trump’s exploding support among Latinos. I knew the joke would also hurt the feelings of my many Puerto Rican friends who are accustomed to watching politicians, military brass, and corporate leaders use the island as a dumping ground for substandard business practices while blaming Puerto Ricans for their poverty, poor health, and environmental degradation on the island. The worst of these villains are the pharmaceutical and processed food firms that have buried the island in excess packaging material and toxic waste. My strong ties to Puerto Rico go back to 1964 when I first visited the island with Sargent Shriver, who was director of LBJ’s War on Poverty. My family already had strong and affectionate relations with Puerto Rican leaders going back to Governor Luis Muñoz Marín, the George Washington of the Commonwealth. I spent the summer of 2001 in a maximum-security prison in Puerto Rico for my role as a leader in the fight to stop the Naval bombardment of Vieques. The Navy’s illegal dumping of millions of tons of highly toxic Naval ordnance had poisoned the fish and birds, destroyed the beaches and forests, and left the island’s people with the highest cancer rates and the highest unemployment in the Caribbean. I named my youngest son Aidan Vieques because the first time I saw him was in the prison’s visitor room. We succeeded in driving the Navy out of Vieques, but the Pentagon left behind millions of tons of unexploded ordnance and toxic waste despite repeated promises and multiple court orders that they remove it. This is some of the “garbage” that Tony was referring to in his unfortunate joke. Although they recognized his joke was, well — a joke — many Puerto Ricans familiar with these practices still felt wounded by Tony’s words — which seemed to blame Puerto Ricans for the waste that U.S. military, political, and corporate leaders have dumped on their island. But most of the Puerto Ricans with whom I have spoken also recognize that the gag does not represent President Trump’s sympathies toward the island and its people. Former Governor Ricky Rosello recounted to me that no U.S. president has done more for Puerto Rico in recent decades than President Trump, who came personally to the island after Hurricane Maria hit in 2017 and did everything in his power to make sure that the distressed citizens of the hard-hit island would not feel abandoned by their government. After he and Melania toured the hurricane damage and met with victims, President Trump said that he and the First Lady loved and were praying for the “great, great people” on the “great and beautiful island” of Puerto Rico. “We’re marshaling every federal resource at our disposal,” he said. “We now have more than 15,000 federal personnel on the island. We will not rest until that job is done. Puerto Rico has a long road of recovery ahead, but we know that its people are proud and they are resilient and they will come back strong.” On Tuesday at a rally in Allentown, Pennsylvania, he said, “Nobody loves our Latino community and our Puerto Rican community more than I do.” He promised, “I will deliver the best future for Puerto Ricans and Hispanic Americans.” At the same rally, Zoraida Buxó, Puerto Rico’s shadow Senator, gave President Trump her enthusiastic endorsement. “I strongly and fully support and endorse Donald J. Trump to be our 47th president — to make America great again and, of course, to make Puerto Rico shine again,” Buxó told the crowd. “We need this man back in the White House. We need this man to be our commander-in-chief. He will make us feel safe, and he will protect us.” As a New York businessman, President Trump watched and appreciated the economic contributions of Puerto Ricans in New York. The tiny island has also given our city a disproportionate share of our greatest politicians, actors, entertainers, and sports heroes. Given his history of support for Puerto Rico and its people, I am confident that when he is in the White House, President Trump will look out for the best interests of Puerto Ricans and Hispanic Americans, who now make up a big and growing part of the expansive MAGA coalition poised to give him victory on November 5.
