Pennsylvania Puerto Ricans think controversial comments from comedian hurt Trump
Several Puerto Ricans in battleground Pennsylvania say the controversial comments a comedian made about Puerto Ricans at Trump's Madison Square Garden rally over the weekend will hurt the former president in his quest for the White House.
Ramon Martinez, who is a co-owner with his brother and wife of Mofongo, a Dominican/Puerto Rican restaurant in Reading, Pennsylvania, spoke with ABC News' Terry Moran after the rally where Tony Hinchcliffe made the joke. Martinez said the comments will play a role with the decisions from undecided Latino voters.
"I think that they will take one side when they hear what we heard last night," Martinez said.
Asked if Hinchcliffe's comments could hurt Trump, Martinez said "yes, I strongly believe that."
"Every time they speak, they put down the immigrants, the Latinos. I don't think that's the right way to get the Latino vote."
Moran spoke with the voters ahead of Trump’s Tuesday evening rally in Allentown, Pennsylvania -- a town with a significant Puerto Rican population.
