“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?

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

Edit: /s

Tony Hinchcliffe is not funny. Watched his podcast for a while then totally abandoned it because I realized I wasn't laughing during most episodes. It's mostly seasoned comics taking cheap shots at amateurs and then saying some racist shit while they all laugh and no one in the audience does. His nasally voice is annoying as fuck and hitching his wagon to the trump train seems pretty on brand for that fuckwit. His comedy brand caters to the same people who really like Joe Rogan and Alex Jones, both regulars on the podcast. Shocking I know.

Jfc, they're USA citizens. Ffs.

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

Tony, Chapelle, and Joe Rogan are actively murdering comedy. They blame everyone but themselves because they can't get with the times. They look down on people and punch down constantly, and still manage to miss the mark. They are not down to earth, they are not relatable, and they should NOT be looked up to.

They're absolutely terrified of Puerto Rican statehood, so they try to drive them away.

Little piss-baby cowards.

Reminds me of this classic greentext

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.

This was such a weird choice, when the GOP was already getting more Latino support than previously... Wouldn't they want to court these people? Why would they straight up insult an entire voting bloc (one that experts have said could decide the outcome) this close to an election??

I know it's most likely just racism and stupidity, but I couldn't help but think that this dude did this on purpose to get less people to vote Republican? I mean, why else would they do this?

I previously knew this dude from his name, as the guy who writes most people's (particularly non-comedians) insult jokes at Roasts. I'm kind of surprised (but not really, I believe he hangs/hung around Rogan) he's a Trump supporter given the type of material he's written in the past.

I'm not a fan of Roasts, but I'm pretty sure this dude was supposed to be considered like the best at that. At least previously.

Maybe someone who knows more about this guy can weigh in on it. It's probably just racism if I'm being real.

Piece of shit human trash calls Puerto Rico “trash”. Republicans are shit 💩

What a fucking cunt Jesus Christ. The racist rhetoric has really stepped up these past few months since there’s been 0 consequences

The joke only works if you understand that it's not true and that no one can obviously believe it.

If it's done where you and everyone thinks it's true, you're at a Klan rally or probably at the comedy mothership or something.

His "act" was only racist stuff. Republicans seems to believe decomplexed racism is comedy.

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.

Well they can't vote for president. Unless the move to to the fifty states of confusion.

Right after Hurricane Irma hit Puerto Rico in 2017 I was at the local dount shop. All the local cofee drinker/maga's were there and this one POS was going on and on about how none of those filthy people were gonna come here and live off his tax dollars. It was so stupid that I laughed. This dipshit asked me with a swagger in his voice what was so funny. I informed him that any one of them could get on a plane and come to the US. As soon as they changed their drivers license address they could register to vote. One or two of his asshole buddies confirmed that it was true and he was simply floored. Flummoxed is the best way to describe him.

He reminded me of this guy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MmvR0VkYuDs

Edit: changed a f to a r

This is a PR nightmare.

Because Puerto Ricans can't vote, right ?

So is Donald Trump "presidential" yet? Trump will never get a bigger or better venue than Madison Square Garden between now and the election and THIS is the stupid shit he is going with.

Folks in Puerto Rico when they’re admitted as a state: “he tells it like it is.”
