'Whiz-bang political chess move': J.D. Vance skewered for last-gasp attack on  Harris

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) is not impressed with the closing argument from Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) — and she has a snarky tweet to prove it.

During a MAGA rally in Atlanta on Monday, Donald Trump's running mate angrily railed against Vice President Kamala Harris. Vance told the crowd, "In two days, we're going to take out the trash, and the trash's name is Kamala Harris."

In a Nov. 4 post on X, Ocasio-Cortez replied, "Not too sure that Republicans going from calling Puerto Ricans garbage to calling a woman garbage is the whiz-bang political chess move they think it is."

The Bronx/Queens congresswoman was referring to a MAGA rally at New York City's Madison Square Garden in which one of the speakers, comedian Tony Hinchcliffe, made a racist joke attacking Puerto Rico.

Hinchcliffe described Puerto Rico as a "floating island of garbage," and the backlash came quickly. Some major Puerto Rican celebrities — including Jennifer López, Ricky Martin, Marc Anthony and reggaetón star Bad Bunny — responded by endorsing Kamala Harris for president.

Another well-known Puerto Rican, actress Rosie Pérez, told MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace that Hinchcliffe's comments made her all the more supportive of Harris' campaign.

Pérez declared, "They picked on the wrong people."
