A comedian at Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump’s Madison Square Garden signature closing rally joked about Latinos having too many babies, called Puerto Rico a floating garbage island and referred to “carving watermelons” with a Black friend.
“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,” Tony Hinchliffe, who goes by the stage name Kill Tony, said on Sunday.
He paused before delivering his punch line. “I think it’s called Puerto Rico.”
The opening-act comments for Trump’s speech by Hinchcliffe drew laughs and some groans from the crowd.
Kill Tony, Hinchcliffe’s comedy show with nearly 2 million YouTube subscribers, often features new and established comedians making raunchy jokes and has drawn criticism by many listeners for being racist and sexist.
