I was assured by corporate media shills that comedian Tony Hinchcliffe's mean joke about Puerto Rico at Sunday's Donald Trump rally at Madison Square Garden would result in Trump losing momentum with Hispanic voters. Well, we've possibly reached peak 2024 because it looks like, in the wake of the media's pearl-clutching over a comedian telling a joke, it's actually Kamala Harris who is tanking with Hispanics.

Here's what Hinchcliffe said:

“There’s a lot going on. Like, I don’t know if you know this, but there’s literally a floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean right now. I think it’s called Puerto Rico,” Hinchcliffe said on stage Sunday, eliciting mixed reactions from the crowd.

Here's what CNN's Henry Enten wrote afterward:

Of course, one could argue that Sunday’s rally could have turned off non-Hispanic voters. We already know that Harris is doing historically well for a Democrat among White college-educated voters. They’re the ones who have been moving most to the left since Trump entered the political scene, in no small part because of his rhetoric.

Message received loud and clear: the Trump campaign, despite denouncing the joke, were going to pay a terrible price for having Tony Hinchcliffe on the bill at the Madison Square Garden rally. Trump would lose all the gains he had made with Hispanic voters, traditionally a Democrat Party voting bloc, and surely begin the shameful march to defeat on Election Day.

That was certainly the hope of the Democrats and their media lapdogs, anyway,

Except, because this is 2024 and down is up and up is down, it's actually Kamala Harris who is losing support amongst Hispanics, this according to Harry Enten's very own CNN. A poll conducted by CNN of Hispanic voters in the important battleground states of Nevada and Arizona sounded the alarm for Democrats: Kamala Harris is losing significant ground with Hispanics, and her loss is Trump's gain. 

🚨CNN POLL: Kamala Harris is bleeding support from Hispanic voters in Nevada and Arizona.

CNN's political director, David Chalian, joined Dana Bash to go over the results of their polling; here's what he had to say:

Harris, as I said, has an 18 point advantage with Latinos. Biden, in the 2020 exit polls, he had a 24 point advantage over Trump four years ago among Latino voters in Arizona. 

Harris is +1 with Latinos in Nevada in our poll, but according to the 2020 exit polls, Biden won them by 26 percentage points.

If that is actually what emerges on Election Day, that's a big warning sign in Nevada.

To which Dana Bash replied, "Wow."

Wow indeed. 

All of this tells us two things. First, that American voters, including Hispanic Americans, can take a joke without having to retreat to their fainting couches and cuddle their support animals. It's an inconvenient truth that Americans are a lot smarter than the left thinks they are, can understand a joke for what it is, and are able to filter out the media's noise and see things as they really are. And they are not so good for Kamala Harris right now; that's the facts.

Secondly, corporate media beating us over the head for three news cycles now with the "mean joke about Puerto Rico" nonsense was all for naught. Like most things these days with the news media and Kamala Harris, it only moved the needle in the wrong direction for Democrats. 

It's only going to get worse, unfortunately. Kamala Harris is giving a speech from D.C. on Tuesday night, with the White House as a backdrop, and she's sure to ratchet up the "Nazi" talk and pander to Hispanics. Again, that's unlikely to move the needle in the right direction for her, but she doesn't have anything else to offer at this point.
