“Puerto Rico’s Republican Party chairman said on Monday that he would withhold his support from former President Donald Trump unless he apologized for racist remarks that an insult comic made about the U.S. territory on Sunday during Mr. Trump’s rally at Madison Square Garden,” the New York Times reports.
Wall Street Journal: “The comment about Puerto Rico has taken on a life of its own, receiving sustained criticism from Democrats and even some Republican allies of Trump. The comments largely overshadowed the former president’s desire to wind down his 2024 campaign with an unrivaled spectacle at the Garden.”
