deadline.comMarc Anthony is the latest Puerto Rican recording artist to speak out against a Trump-supporting comedian’s swipe at the U.S.
territory as “a floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean.” “This I won’t forget,” Anthony wrote on Instagram below a video of Tony Hinchcliffe’s remarks at a Trump rally at Madison Square Garden on Sunday.
