Archbishop of San Juan says Trump needs to 'personally' apologize
SUMMARY
The Archbishop of San Juan, Roberto O. González Nieves, has called on Donald Trump to personally apologize for derogatory comments about Puerto Ricans made by comedian Tony Hinchcliffe at a rally. Despite the Trump campaign disavowing the remarks, González Nieves insists Trump himself must address and condemn them to uphold human dignity and American values. This incident has drawn criticism from both sides of the political spectrum. Trump's running mate, JD Vance, suggested focusing on bigger issues rather than offense taken from the comments. Trump campaign press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement, “Due to President Trump’s plans to cut taxes, end inflation, and stop the surge of illegal immigrants at the southern border, he has more support from the Hispanic American community than any Republican in recent history.”
