The real joke is that the Trump campaign is tripping over itself now to disavow this message. Meanwhile it's come to light that this "comedian" was going to drop a c-bomb in his material in reference to Kamala, but the Trump campaign told him to remove it, and he complied.

Meaning they vetted the material and were a-fuckin'-ok with garbage island, only to later lie more and try to backpedal.

They're not even good at lying, kids.

Edit: spelling

I'm still baffled by the logic of having a roaster/crowd work guy doing a set at a convention. Like... he was gonna insult people and start shit. It's literally his job.

He's not my cup of tea, but he's been around and successful for a while now. He's not an unknown entity who they could claim acted unpredictable.

Eminem spoke at a Harris rally. But he's an adult who cares about people and expects as much from his government.

I used to know someone who is half Puerto Rican, her dad is a marine, her mom is full PR. And they are ALL hardcore right wingers.

Even they wouldn't switch votes after this.

"Surely he didn't mean me, he meant those other sons of bitches who happen to look like me." - Idiots practicing idiot logic.

How many jokes about Christians or conservatives did he do? Zero?! Why's that? Answer those questions.

This isn't even good racism. This is like, 2000s-era ironic racism. Which was about as funny as Holocaust jokes, and aged about as well as Anne Frank.

Where's the hateful, KKK, lynchmob racism? Don't just casually half ass it. Show your real murican colors.

No it is not. Guaranteed Trump Puerto Rican voters agree. They just think it's the other Puerto Ricians that are making it that way.

Puerto Rican voters

Does someone else want to tell atempuser23?

Good thing there's only 5 million people who once lived in Puerto Rico in the 50 states and hundreds of thousands in Pennsylvania particularly

1.7% nationally isn't much when spread out. I'm sure there are districts out there which are predominantly Puerto Rican, I just don't think they're a significantly large group.

Which is why I fully support making them a state and giving them due representation.

Racists can not help themselves. If there's a MAGAt in your life, I can pretty much guarantee they'll say some hateful shit at some point...

Why even say this? What a useless shitbag.

To them, cruelty is comedy.

“It was just a joke!”

Oh, I don’t get it. Can you explain to me what the joke is? Like, can you put into words why you find that funny?

Because Puerto Ricans can't vote, right ?

Taxation without representation? There should be a thing about that

But... PR is part of the US and is a wonderful place full of kind people. I spent one of the best vacations of my life there going all the way around the island (and Culebra!) and it was nothing but gorgeous views, great food, friendly people (it does help to speak Spanish so you understand how friendly they are) and relaxing days.

And that was when the country was getting rocked by earthquakes and had recently been battered by a few climate-change monster hurricanes. Screw people who hate on PR, that place rocks and is more resilient than your average conservative commentator.

They can't vote, so why would they care? Easy targets, no apparent consequences.

Edit: /s

Except for the millions of Puerto Ricans that live in the Continental US.

I am not fan of Tony but I really love Shane Gillis. I loved the Trump and Biden(Shane and Adam) episode. It was the best comedy I've seen in quite a while.
