Hinchliffe's remark began, "Republicans are the party with a good sense of humor," before mocking Puerto Rico. This drew criticism even from GOP leaders like Senator Rick Scott.
Despite the controversy, Fox & Friends opened with nearly 12 minutes praising Trump’s rally. Co-host Steve Doocy briefly mentioned the offensive comments, emphasizing GOP disapproval.
The Trump camp's distancing from Hinchcliffe indicates sensitivity to backlash, especially as influential Puerto Rican celebrities like Bad Bunny publicly criticized the joking in support of Harris.
Brian Kilmeade criticized media coverage of the rally, particularly The New York Times' description of it as a 'carnival of grievances, misogyny and racism', suggesting bias.
