Joe Rogan admitted that he’s not a fan of Tony Hinchcliffe’s controversial Puerto Rico joke — and said he would have warned his fellow comic to avoid using it at former President Donald Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally.The podcaster, on Wednesday’s episode of “The Joe Rogan Experience,” said he even joked with Hinchcliffe in the past that the bit that’s landed him in water is “the one that’s gonna get you stabbed.” Hinchcliffe, 40, known for hosting the “Kill Tony” podcast, joked during Trump’s Sunday campaign rally that Puerto Rico is “a floating island of garbage.”Author Konstantin Kisin, who was on Wednesday’s podcast, told Rogan that whoever booked the insult comic to perform at the rally should be blamed because “Tony Hinchcliffe is going to be Tony Hinchcliffe.”“Literally, his great specialty is roasting,” Rogan replied, referring to him as one of “the best roasters ever.”Rogan, 57, shared that Hinchcliffe has made that joke before, and it “kills at comedy clubs.”“I don’t like the joke, [but] it kills,” Rogan said.“It’s just like if you’re Puerto Rican and you hear that in the audience, you’re like [groans].
