Another canceled event.

Here’s what happens when you hold a rally in New York’s Madison Square Garden that turns into a racism-fest featuring a racist comedian: You bomb in Pennsylvania. Bigly.

Trump is doing whatever he can to make it up to Pennsylvania’s Latino community by holding a rally in Allentown, where he surrounded himself with Latino surrogates. But more than a few folks on X are saying they aren’t having it.

Ammar Moussa, who serves as director of rapid response for Harris for President observed on X that Trump wouldn’t be attending the Penn State-OSU game this weekend after originally planning to attend.

Al-Jazeera notes the fallout from a comedian’s racist remarks at Trump’s New York rally keeps growing and it doesn’t look like it will slow down any time soon. Even as he keeps trying to kiss up to the Latino community.

“I’m so proud that we’re getting support from Latinos like never before,” he told his audience Tuesday night. “We’re setting every record. Hispanics, Latinos — nobody loves our Latino community and our Puerto Rican community more than I do.”

But, Pennsylvania, with a sizable Latino population, is the fifth largest state in the U.S. and can be considered a make-or-break state since it holds a sizable number of Electoral College votes. There are an estimated 96,981 Latinos in Lehigh County, where Allentown is located, out of a total of 374,557 residents. This amounts to more than a quarter of the population.

So Trump may well have cratered his chances of winning the state since his New York event was so racist.

People responded to Moussa’s post with humor and pointed sarcasm.

“If only he had pulled out sooner,” quipped @RealPrzDennison.

Some social media users opined that Trump is tanking in the Virtue, Liberty, and Independence state.

@DanMicovic noted:

“He is conceding Pennsylvania…and he is falling way behind in GA, NC, MI and WI.”

“Campaign is floundering.”

@PatriotVirtus shared an opinion that’s held by many of us:

“I wish his dad had pulled out at one point too.”

@LifeRTd quipped:

“The boos would be too loud for his fragile ego.”

@BlueMeade7 commented:

“He’s afraid the Puerto Ricans will throw paper towels at him, you know, another assassination attempt!”

@Studynot quipped:

“Pulling out is a move he learned with all those affairs and Epstein planes I’d guess. He seems so comfortable with it here late in the election”

I know this is probably a bad joke, but after reading that last post I’m going to go there anyway: Perhaps Trump has run out of d*ck moves.

Let’s hope that’s true.

You know who aren’t racists? Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. You know what to do on Election Day.
