Bobcat1 Posted October 28 Report Share Posted October 28 This didn't go over well...I've watched Hinchcliffe do some Comedy Roasts, he wasn't all that funny then and looks like he still isn't. WASHINGTON, Oct 28 (Reuters) - Political leaders from both sides of the aisle and Puerto Rican celebrities bashed comments at a major This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up event in New York by a comedian who called Puerto Rico a "floating island of garbage." Speaking before the Republican presidential candidate at a This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up on Sunday night, comedian and podcast host Tony Hinchcliffe added that Latinos "love making babies" and that they do not "pull out," comments that leaned into a racist trope that Latinos are preoccupied with childbearing and averse to birth control. "There's literally a floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean right now," Hinchcliffe said. "I think it's called Puerto Rico."

LumRaiderFan Posted October 28 Report Share Posted October 28 Not very smart to have a loose cannon like him speak at an event like this. It would be like having Chappelle speak and hoping he doesn't say something crazy. The Trump campaign has come out and condemned the remarks, not gonna hurt him at all. Maybe not have wild comics speak at a rally again, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His campaign knew Hinchcliff’s MAGA shtick and obviously made no attempt to warn him off strong remarks. That wasn’t his only disgusting racist joke. The apology is not going to get any traction. Maybe if Trump apologized but we all know that he is incapable of expressing contrition. I mean, I heard him with my own ears that concerning religion and forgiveness, he could think of nothing he would have to ask God to forgive form for. I witnessed that. If you’re cool with that, try that testimony next time you go to church. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a joke, and most folks realize that, at least the ones not looking for a reason to get their feelings hurt. The alternative is to vote for a woman that is incapable of running this country, a joke won't make folks run to that option. He's the much better option of the two, it's true whether you're cool with it or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The question is, “Where would that joke be appropriate in your opinion”A PTA meeting? Told by the mayor at a city council meeting? Church?

AggiesAreWe Posted October 28 Report Share Posted October 28 Just wasn't the place to say things of that nature. Dude is an idiot for saying those things at that rally. Same as Harris calling Trump Hitler. Wrong for doing that as well. thetragichippy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same as Harris calling Trump Hitler. Wrong for doing that as well. I don’t think she’s called him Hitler, but there are real comparisons that cannot be ignored. Nazis: “Germany is for Germans only”. MAGA: “America is for Americans only”. Hitler: “They’re poisoning our blood”. Trump: “They’re poisoning our blood”. Trump: “I wish I had generals like Hitler’s”. That’s hard to ignore. You ever read Mein Kampf? He kept a copy by his bed. On a lighter note: I CAN’T WAIT for November 30, Aggie! That’s gonna be one sweet win, hopefully for the Horns. tvc184 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Per Merriam Webster: Infanticide - the killing of an infant. Infant- a child in early stages of development. Child - a person especially in development from infancy to puberty. No one in the Democratic Party supports or proposes infanticide. When lies is all you got, you got no strength. in anticipation of your retort: Fetus - an unborn or unhatched vertebrate after attaining the basic structural form of its kind. Pro choice is not supporting infanticide. No hypocrisy here. Just misrepresentation and lies on your side. The hallmark of the current Republican Party.

Are you making yourself feel better with that explanation? By the way, the current Republican party has the top 5 rated fiscal governors while the bottom 5 is guess who, your party. This is what should drive voting, not pretend morality when you’re loyal to a party that has no regard for the unborn and boos God at their party convention, but let’s worry about a bad joke from an idiot comedian.

All of a sudden somebody with those tendencies, dictatorial, authoritarian tendencies, would be like ‘OK we’re gonna shut this down, we’re gonna throw these people in jail.’ And they didn’t usually telegraph that. Trump is telling us what he intends to do.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
