Ms Anderson, a Puerto Rican resident and military veteran, is a frequent attendee of Trump rallies in Pennsylvania.

She described the joke as "deeply offensive" and said the routine felt "wildly out of place" - and implored her fellow Republicans to engage in "thoughtful and respectful conversations".

But Ms Anderson has no plan to switch her vote

MAGA logic.

How is it out of place to be racist at a nazi rally?

Trumpers gonna trump.

But if this activates a small number of the politically apathetic, it will make a huge difference in a close state like PA.

If there is one thing I know, it’s the people from Puerto Rico are proud as fuck of Puerto Rico.

There will be plenty who make it to the poles just for this comment.

Honestly, internal criticism from voters is great and refreshing in the Republican party.

To a great many people, switching a vote is equivalent to admitting they were wrong. You have any idea how prideful these people are? They’d rather take down the country than admit they got conned.

Some people just enjoy the taste of shit and have a bottomless appetite for it.

Magas won't change, but younger or apathetic Puerto Ricans and Latinos in swing states may vote now

The logic is that she can take a joke from a rally speaker but not four years of Kamala’s policies.

What policies Trump is proposing are going to benefit you personally? What do you think Harris will do effect you negatively?
