MAGA comedian Tony Hinchcliffe stirs outrage with crude attacks on Latinos, Puerto Rico during Trump MSG rally: Floating garbage
MAGA comedian Tony Hinchcliffe sparked fierce outrage after hurling insults against Latinos in a series of purported jokes during his opener at the Trump rally in Madison Square Garden Sunday.“I welcome migrants to the United States with open arms and by open arms, I mean like this,” the “Kill Tony” podcast host told the crowd — with hand gestures signally “no.”He added: “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 humor.”Hinchcliffe, 40, cackled after taking the swipe, which drew some laughter mixed with unease in some corners of the iconic venue.Some of the guests that later took the stage later praised Hispanic and Latino voters and underscored the importance of that voting bloc to former President Donald Trump’s chances of victory on Nov.

“There’s a lot going on.There’s literally a floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean right now.

“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,” he said, calling for Puerto Ricans to take note of that attack on them.

When casting their ballots at the voting booth, Latinos should never forget the racism that Donald Trump seems all too willing to platform,” Rep.Ritchie Torres (D-NY) said.
