Trump Rally Speaker Called Puerto Rico “Garbage”: Does Mike Lawler Agree

In a shocking moment, earlier today a speaker at Donald Trump's New York rally referred to Puerto Rico as "garbage."

This incendiary rhetoric is a sign of the level of disrespect and disdain Trump and his MAGA allies have towards Puerto Ricans.

It begs the question: Does Mike Lawler agree with this rhetoric? An important question that the sizable Puerto Rican population in NY-17 deserves an answer to.

DCCC Spokesperson José Muñoz:
"It's shocking we even have to ask, but the people of New York's 17th Congressional District deserve to know: does Mike Lawler agree with Trump and his MAGA allies' incendiary comments about Puerto Rico?"
