I'm not going to spend a lot of time copying and pasting about Brendan Dilley , you can do a search on him yourself .

For now I'll just say he fancies himself a favorite of Donald Trump, and perhaps not without reason. Trump has retweeted some of Dilley's stuff.

But lets get down to what Dilley says about Puerto Rico

Trump and his campaign have repeatedly shared material from Dilley’s “meme team,” including a video regarding a “unified Reich.” The New York Times reported that Dilley’s group “traffics freely in misinformation, artificial intelligence and digital forgeries known as deepfakes,” and its memes “are riddled with racist stereotypes, demeaning tropes about L.G.B.T.Q. people and broad scatological humor.” Trump has repeatedly shared content from the group on his social media, as have members of his orbit, including as recently as June 10 when Trump shared a video and claimed that President Joe Biden “hates the military.” In May, Trump also shared a video from a member of Dilley’s “meme team” that mentions a “unified Reich.” [The New York Times, 12/13/23 ; Media Matters, 5/21/24 ; Truth Social, 6/10/24 ]
Trump has been photographed with Dilley’s “meme team” and seemingly coordinated with the group. According to The New York Times, Dilley and his “meme team” members have “posted numerous photos of themselves posing with Mr. Trump, spending time with his advisers and attending events at Trump properties,” and Trump’s campaign has also “privately communicated with members of the meme team, giving them access and making specific requests for content.” Additionally, “in at least one instance, the campaign shared behind-the-scenes footage to be used in videos, according to members of the team.” Trump has also “sent personalized notes to several of the group’s members, thanking them for their work.” [The New York Times, 12/13/23 ]

Dilley claimed he’s been told that Trump said he would never disavow Dilley and his “meme team” because he “loves” them. Dilley said that “somebody who was a very, very good friend of President Trump” told them that Trump is “never going to disavow you because he loves you and he loves the Dilley meme team.” [ The Dilley Show , 1/5/24 ]

Trump “meme team” ally Brenden Dilley calls Puerto Rico a “shit-ass island,” “dirty-ass island,” and “floating trash heap”

Dilley: “Yes, there was a joke made at your fucking expense, and it wouldn't be funny if your island wasn't actually a floating trash heap”

Sounds like a straight up deplorable to me.

Listen to his rant on Puerto Rico with the link in the seeded article.

This is ALL about racism, otherwise why even mention Puerto Rico at a Trump rally? Did the comedian make any insulting jokes about white stock brokers, suburban soccer moms , or the Chamber Of Commerce? Did he make any jokes about the assholes who flock to Maralago to kiss trumps ass? If he did lets hear them.
