And a comedian named Tony Hinchcliffe made a racist joke about Puerto Rico.
He said, "There’s a lot going on. 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."

People (obviously) did not react positively to his comment.
I lived in Puerto Rico. And apart from the fact that it is in fact a beautiful island, Puerto Ricans have a LOT of pride about where they are from pic.twitter.com/V8kKHWYSxN

Geraldo Rivera's response in particular has gone super viral.
The former Fox News host tweeted this:
“A floating island of garbage…?” Referring to Puerto Rico???
“Poisoning the blood of our nation…?”
We have “murder in our genes….?”
Fuck these racists. Latino men of good will, have pride in yourselves and your ancestors. A vote for Trump is a vote against self-respect.

He followed up with this:
Latino men, for the love of your parents and children, for your pride and your honor tell this little gringo shit to go fuck himself. https://t.co/ClpvYzsGQU
