Comedian Tony Hinchcliffe drew ire, for his statements at a rally for President Donald Trump at Madison Square Garden . Hichcliffe on Sunday referred to Puerto Rico as "floating island of garbage". His statements invited criticism of Democrats and were labelled as 'racist'.
Hinchcliffe, who hosts the live podcast "Kill Tony," addressed the crowd and stated, "There’s a lot going on. 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 responded to the crowd’s reaction by laughing and stating, "okay, we’re getting there, again, normally I don’t follow the national anthem.”
Hinchcliife also took aim at Latinos while addressing the crowd. Introducing the Republican party as the “party with a good sense of humour,” he began, “I welcome migrants to the United States with open arms and by open arms, I mean like this,” while signalling “no” with his hand gestures.
He went on, “It’s wild and these Latinos love making babies too, just know that — they don’t do that. They come inside, just like they did to our country. Republicans are the party with a good sense of humour.”
Hinchcliffe also compared Travis Kelce with OJ Simpson. He said, "I don’t know about you guys, but I think Travis Kelce might be the next OJ Simpson,” he said at one point. “Every day, the Democrat Party looks more like a Diddy Party!"
Ridiculing the MAGA speaker, Walz said, “When you have some a-hole calling Puerto Rico ‘floating garbage,’ know that that's what they think about you. It's what they think about anyone who makes less money than them… I want every Puerto Rican in Philadelphia and Reading and across the country to see this clip.”
Democratic leaders condemned the recent comment made by a Comedy Central personality. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) expressed her disapproval on social media platform X. She stated, "You’re opening for Trump by calling Puerto Rico a floating pile of garbage. 4,000+ Puerto Ricans died under him."
This criticism joins other Democrats who echoed similar sentiments about the comedian's remarks. They condemned the remarks as inappropriate and insensitive.
Comedian Hinchcliffe responded to criticism on social media platform X after being accused of making a joke seen as racist. He argued that his joke was taken out of context, and commented on the involvement of a vice presidential candidate in the controversy.
“These people have no sense of humour. 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…watch the whole set. I’m a comedian Tim…might be time to change your tampon,” Hinchcliffe wrote on X.
Hinchcliffe emphasized his respect for Puerto Rico and defended his comedic style, stating that his remarks were part of a larger set that included jokes about various groups.
