Puerto Rican voters react differently to comedian's joke at Trump's rally

In Allentown PA‚ two Puerto-Rican voters show how one incident can lead to different choices. Tairy Pagan (41) didnt plan to take part in next weeks voting feeling tired of political back-and-forth and money problems; however a comedians anti-Puerto Rico comment at Trumps rally changed everything - now shes backing Kamala Harris

The other voter Samuel Negron Jr (55) proudly displays his Puerto-Rican flag tattoo; despite being at the same Trump rally where comedian Tony Hinchcliffe made that offensive garbage-island joke. Even though the comment made him angry (and rightfully so) Negron stays firm in supporting Trump: his main focus is on economy and border-control ideas that Trump talks about

Both stories show how voters make their choices based on different things - some react strongly to personal attacks while others focus on policy decisions; this split appears often in pre-election times
