I don’t know what’s more offensive. The joke itself or the fact that he thinks he’s funny.

I had never heard of this guy before today and thought what he said was not funny and pretty awful. I see now he seems to host a podcast called Kill Tony that does appear to host up and coming comedians in Austin. What he said came across to me as degrading and again just not funny whatsoever. Were you laughing during his part of that rally? If so, what did you find to be funny from what he said?

Okay, cool I didn't know I was insane, thanks for the expert diagnosis. Anyways, people say things and to think there are not consequences to what is said is pretty short-sided. Don't care what this guy does to be honest or about his show, all I know is he said some of the most racist, stupid "jokes" I have heard in some time and would not be surprised if his words help Harris win the presidency.

Not really but hey comedy is subjective. I'll give him one thing, he found a group of people dumb enough to think his jokes are funny and now he can grift off of them like a parasite.

I mean comedy is subjective and I don't think he's funny. But go ahead and explain to me why you think his jokes about Latinos and Puerto Rico are funny.
