His Republican Madison Square political satire comedy has turned out to NOT be funny and the Trump people who KNEW what was coming, may have cost their boss any chance of a win next Tuesday….
The trouble from this is just piling on…..
Comedian Tony Hinchcliffe is defending his jokes about Puerto Rico at former President Trump’s New York City rally on Sunday after facing significant backlash from figures across the political aisle.
Hinchcliffe, who goes by Kill Tony, responded to a clip on the social platform X of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) criticizing his material, which Hinchcliffe delivered on stage Sunday at Madison Square Garden ahead of Trump’s speech.
“These people have no sense of humor,” Hinchcliffe wrote on X. “Wild that a vice presidential candidate would take time out of his ‘busy schedule’ to analyze a joke taken out of context to make it seem racist.”
“I love Puerto Rico and vacation there,” he continued. “I made fun of everyone…watch the whole set. I’m a comedian Tim…might be time to change your tampon.”
Hinchcliffe’s set also included jokes targeting Jews and Black men and a reference to Black Americans carving watermelons for Halloween instead of pumpkins, but it was his comments about Puerto Rico that generated the most attention and backlash.
“There’s a lot going on. Like, I don’t know if you know this, but there’s literally a floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean right now. I think it’s called Puerto Rico,” Hinchcliffe said on stage Sunday, eliciting mixed reactions from the crowd.
At another point, he said Latinos “love making babies.”….
