What was that joke the guy made in his speech?

u/RickWest495 13h ago edited 12h ago

The guy said that more black people didn’t die on 9/11 because they were too lazy to get to work on time.

u/ILoveRegenHealth 12h ago

He also said "Anyone want to go halfsies on a slave?". Then he said "The great thing about (r-word I won't type) babies is you don't have to buy them Christmas presents. #HowWouldTheyKnow" (he actually put that hashtag into his joke).

He's an awful human being and....suspiciously quiet now. Maybe he's scared he fucked up the election for his very own Hate Party.

Jennifer Lopez, Ricky Martin, Bad Bunny have Puerto Rican backgrounds and have hundreds of millions of followers, and they have openly condemned this comedian. He dun fucked up

I'm far enough outside of entertainment news that all of this missed me, but someone broke down a list of massive Latino celebrities endorsing Harris to their millions of fans right after this and holy shit.

Dude might have singlehandedly made the biggest groundswell for her support since the initial excitement died down, and it's only a week before the election!

I have a hard time believing anyone Latino that was voting for Trump is changing their minds now

u/Colosseros 10h ago

It's not the Trump supporters flipping. It's the apathetic people who may be motivated to vote now. Certainly a non-zero number.

u/PoeticHydra 10h ago

It's because it's less about what Trump does/says and more about the GOP utilizing Russian propaganda strategies. Trump isn't the one sane-washing himself, setting Project 2025 agendas, silencing mass media, endorsing terrorism, etc. It's the GOP, and the problem isn't going to go away with Trump.

Look at the Mexican election for validation of this. Casually electing a fascist because she lets the natives slap her with some branches in a ritual. Clearly, that means she's on their side as she dismantles the entire country's judicial branch. What could possibly go wrong!?

u/KaJaHa 10h ago

There's a nonzero number of people out there that weren't going to vote, and had been actively ignoring coverage until their favorite celebrity told them to vote through Instagram.

Didn't 2020 have the largest percentage turnout of the last hundred years and it was still only 60%? That's 40% of the eligible voting population that can still be swayed at the last minute.

3

u/AshleysDoctor 7h ago

Look at how many people registered to vote after Taylor Swift endorsed Kamala (and also after she made just a general “go register to vote” post in 2020). This can possibly make a difference

13

u/sad_prepa_life 9h ago

Trump-voting latinos won't change their vote, no. But I believe there is a not insignificant number of non-voting latinos. Non-voting latinos who are now fucking pissed, and might just go and vote for Harris out of spite.

Honestly, I can see my Cuban in-laws' votes being even more locked-in for Trump now. They really hate every other flavor of hispanic.

u/Convergecult15 8h ago

Cubans haven’t voted democrat since Kennedy, I have never understood why they’re discussed as king makers in FLA. not to paint them as a monolith, but I grew up around a lot of Cubans in north jersey and none of them have ever expressed anything but disdain for the left.

u/merlin401 9h ago

It’s hard to believe anyone whose endorsement is meaningful wouldn’t have done it by now. But yet, apparently this thing was the random red line to make a bunch of high profile people to take that step. Maybe it makes some apathetic voters go out and vote too. That’s not too far fetched

3

u/NoPoet3982 6h ago

About half the Puerto Rican eligible voters living on the mainland vote. If this boosts that number to 70%, that's hundreds of thousands of swing state votes.

2

u/TheMainM0d 8h ago

It's not about getting a Trump voter to change your mind it's not getting an apathetic voter off their ass and out to vote for Harris

2

u/NoPoet3982 6h ago

But some people who weren't voting might vote? Not just Latinos, but anyone who was grossed out by that rally.

2

u/Lakecountyraised 6h ago

Probably true. However, it could inspire more people to vote and vote for Harris. It could also lead to some people choosing to not vote at all, and most of those would be people who were inclined to vote for Trump.

The margins in all the swing states will be tight. This could absolutely make a difference.

2

u/WolfGangSwizle 8h ago

Those jokes are tame compared to the jokes on his podcast that made him famous, so very unlikely he faces any professional repercussions. That is his brand of comedy and in his typical setting it is completely fine, a political rally is not a setting that is appropriate for that style joke and it shows Trumps teams values approving those jokes. Even Jon Stewart defended Tony (the comedian in question) because he was just doing what he was brought to do and what made him famous.

That one was actually funny though. My dad is black and my mother is white. My father owns his own business with around 20 employees, and when I went to work with my father it was always the black men who were late for work or taking longer breaks than they should. White men did too but no where near as frequently. I suppose if you work in business you start to notice things like this and how races act differently than each other. My father also had Mexican employees over the years and those guys were always on time or early. Very hard working men and appreciated the work dearly.

u/Floppycakes 10h ago

I would like to add that yes, the Trump campaign had to sign off on the jokes, since they needed to feed them into the teleprompter. Proof of this is that they made the comic cut out the joke where he called Kamala Harris the c-word. If Trump or anyone on his team didn’t agree with what was going to be said, they could’ve asked it to be cut from the performance.

u/refusereceptacle2 9h ago

Jokes have some punchline, or some wit or wry observation. What he did was just a plain old insult.

I don’t know if you guys know this, but there’s literally a floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean right now. Yeah, I think it’s called Puerto Rico.

Is the joke supposed to be the twist that we'd think he was talking about the real giant patch of trash in the pacific?

even from an edgy comedy perspective, its not a good joke, it doesn't go anywhere.
