Comedian Tony Hinchcliffe engages in vile racism at Trump's New York rally

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump's rally at Madison Square Garden on Sunday began with comedian Tony Hinchcliffe of the comedy podcast Kill Tony calling Puerto Rico a “floating island of garbage,” among other xenophobic and biased punchlines. The “joke” didn’t seem to resonate with the crowd in attendance.

Hinchcliffe continued by making a blatant sexual insult toward Latino immigrants and joking that they should all leave the country.

“These Latinos love having babies too, I just know that. That's what they do. That's what they do. There is no retreat,” he said. “They don't do that. They are coming in, just like they did in our country.”

He also dealt with racist stereotypes against black people and used anti-Semitic language when discussing the Gaza-Israel War during a relatively short set.

HuffPost Reporter Christopher Mathias, one of those in attendance, called it “shockingly racist even for a Trump rally.”

Hinchcliffe justified the content of his appearance by saying: “Republicans are the party with a good sense of humor.”

Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, herself Puerto Rican, hit back at the comments Sunday afternoon during a live-streamed event with her party's vice presidential candidate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz.

“If there's any idiot who calls Puerto Rico 'floating trash,' know that that's what they think of you,” she said. “That’s what they think about anyone who makes less money than them.”

Hinchcliffe later criticized the couple in a post

“These people have no sense of humor,” he wrote. “It's 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. I made fun of everyone…look at the whole set.”

Kill Tony, Hinchcliffe's comedy show with 1.8 million YouTube subscribers, features new and established comedians. Jokes often venture onto the raunchy side, where racist and sexist humor is commonplace.

“I don’t normally make my political beliefs public,” Hinchcliffe said at the rally. “It’s divisive for a comedian to do something like that. But I just know that I’ll sleep well at night because I know who I’m voting for.”

“It’s just clear to me who the right candidate is,” Hinchcliffe continued. He then called Trump's shot in the ear “the best place to get shot.”
