Two hours before Donald Trump was set to take the stage at Madison Square Garden in New York City, right-wing comedian Tony Hinchcliffe warmed up the crowd with a shockingly racist performance.
“Where are my proud Latinos at tonight?” Hinchcliffe asked the packed arena, eliciting scattered loud cheers. “You guys see what I mean? [The border’s] wide open. There’s so many of them.”
“These Latinos, they love making babies, too,” he added. “There’s no pulling out. They don’t do that. They come inside just like they did to our country.”
The crowd groaned and cheered as Hinchcliffe continued, saying, “Republicans are the party with a good sense of humor.”
This guy: “[You] Latinos are invading our country and breeding us white people out of the majority… hahaha, no, no. I kid, I kid! But no really, in all seriousness, you do do that, and it’s a big fucking problem. We need a president who will put a stop to it and kick you all out like the vermin you are. Now laugh you fucking cockroaches. It’s funny because it’s true. We Republicans are truly the masters of comedy. Hurdurdurr.”
Jesus Christ these mother fuckers are twisted. To his credit, I guess, he told this joke to a crowd full of Latinos rather than when only the white folks are around like they usually do. But, less to his credit, he also thought it was ok to say at all, ESPECIALLY TO A CROWD FULL OF LATINOS. The joke depended on their being a lot of Latinos in the crowd and he actually thought, “oh they’ll love this one”. What a completely deluded moron.
Dude turn off the blaze radio, turn off the fox news, go outside, leave the gated neighborhood, and meet some new people. People as different from you as you can manage in your area. Try your hardest to realize that they are also people with their own thoughts, values, and dreams as deep and rich and varied as anyone you have ever met. Truly appreciate that and then come back and fucking apologize to these people for othering them, stereotyping them, and expecting them to laugh at their own mockery. This shit is exhausting.
The coolest guy ever.
You can’t just stand with your arms like that, you need credentials.

Alleged “comedian”…
Hatred is funny to people who enjoy hate.
The 1% don’t want to pay taxes or fair wages, somebody else’s race isn’t what’s causing that.
The culture war is all bullshit and distraction, the only thing that matters is taxing the richest and putting that money towards creating less fragile and sustainable communities and economies.
Trump is at 46.7% baseline on 538. His TOTAL in 2020 was 46.8 and 46.1 in 2016. At the current rate it’ll be 46.8-47 by election day. The polls have been extremely good at predicting this baseline, it’s the undecided remainder they suck at guessing(Harris is at 48.1 right now) so Trump is pretty much guaranteed to get more of the Popular Vote then in 2016 or 2020.
I assume you more than his previous totals when you say “more”
Yes
Aren’t comedians supposed to be funny?
Have you ever watched Fox’s “late night” show? The guy just sits there, spews the dumbest most hateful things about anyone not in the Trump bubble, and never once smiles or even laughs. He looks like he hates everything about life the entire time.
They don’t understand what being funny is. They think it’s all just insults.
What is the Fox Late Night Show?
Greg Gutfeld. Apparently he gets the highest ratings in all of late night.
Ah king of late night, highest ratings. That’s why I’ve never heard of him.
Tell that to Chappelle.
For that audience they don’t need to be funny, they have to be racist.
Funny but not so funny story. I was at the Playhouse in Cleveland, Ohio about 15 years back and my stepdad really wanted to take us to Finnegan’s Wake. It was an improv show where the actors would take suggestions from the audience in what would happen next. A few of us were trying to to be playful with the context, but the vast majority of the meatheads in the audience just kept shouting out lewd suggestions like the reverend fucking the widow. Over and over and over again. The lead guy (reverend) got so tired of it that he said “is this all you want to see!” and humped the actress a few times then ended the show. Simultaneously the best and saddest anti joke I’ve ever experienced.
Take it as you will, but these are the kind of people we are now hinging our democracy on.
Ohio’s a great state to leave.
I’d love to find out…
For real though it’ll always be home despite folks like that. I do want to leave and find a job somewhere like New Jersey or Chicago, but we shouldn’t be defined by our assholes any more than New York should be defined by trump
It’s the kind of laughing that doesn’t reach the eyes… Like mean girls in middle school cackling after torturing some poor kid.
Comedy is woke, their comedians are just racist /s
Hinchcliffe is a complete POS. I Voted Blue, fuck MAGA.
How did he get a job opening for Trump? I thought they hated the gays.
They do it so that they can prove that they “welcome everyone”
They’ll take self hating members of any group except trans people
I thought he wasn’t actually gay?
He isn’t? Could have fooled me.
He’s one of the guys who regularly blows Rogan, so of course he’s a piece of shit, racist trumper. By the way dude, you don’t get say people have no humor. It’s the people you were making jokes about that get to say if those jokes were racist or not, and we say they were.

Wiki: reliable - A 2020 RfC found HuffPost staff writers fairly reliable for factual reporting on non-political topics, but notes that they may give prominence to topics that support their political bias and less prominence to, or omit, things that contradict it. HuffPost’s reliability has increased since 2012; articles before 2012 are less reliable and should be treated with more caution. HuffPost uses clickbait headlines to attract attention to its articles, thus the body text of any HuffPost article is considered more reliable than its headline.

Wiki: unreliable - Until 2018, the U.S. edition of HuffPost published content written by contributors with near-zero editorial oversight.

He’s giving strong weird relative at a family dinner table vibes by saying offensive things and then trying to ease the situation by saying “it’s just a joke, relax, you can’t take a joke!?” There’s a big difference between being funny and being an attention seeker.
jfc… racist humour is always so stupid and lazy.
Hinchcliffe also referred to Puerto Rico as a “floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean” and made a remark about Black people who “carved watermelons” instead of pumpkins for Halloween.
A politician having trash like this warm the crowd for them should be shocking.
Energize the base… has a poetic ring to it.
Free the base
It should be. I’m just surprised he didn’t drop the n-word
A politician having trash like this warm the crowd for them should be shocking.
It isn’t. This is because bigotry is an acceptable political position.
they don’t understand, dark humor it’s funny when the audience knows you don’t believe that way. and they also dont believe that way. but if you all agree in these bigoted shut, yeah, thats racist and repulsive, and not funny
Exactly! I saw kill tony content through the lense of short form content (which I will be getting away from after this) and thought there was implied sarcasm, but nope just regular chud shit slathered on so thick I didn’t think it could be serious. 😬
I wouldn’t say it’s good dark humour anyway
Starting a set with “america is garbage” isn’t a good opening. It just insults the audience. There is no story to follow and you can’t follow it up with anything
Jimmy Carr’s holocaust joke worked because it blended with the set. In addition to not believing it
Believe a Republican when he sais he is racist.
“It’s a Joke” is the standard answer when assholes get caught.
In this case, … Latino votes lost…
Play to your crowd. It’s not shocking or unexpected for anyone unfortunate enough to know who this goon is. Part of that super unfunny punch down set that followed rogain from liberal California to…checks notes…the most liberal city in Texas, Austin.
I Imagine austinites hate these people lol. I know the conservatives that move to liberal cities in Ohio are very hated.
Yes, but they are rich, they won’t sully themselves living amongst country folk. Everywhere you see rural wealth are just isolated enclaves of rich people from liberal cities.
