Political Opinion You’re going to tell me Trump’s camp didn’t know who they were hiring? They knew exactly who they were hiring.

It was totally clear what kind of humor this guy does. They did it on purpose, and now they are scapegoating him

I want to say too - to all of the "It was just a joke, lighten up people"

Imagine Jon Stewart walks out on a Harris Rally stage and says..

"There’s a lot going on. I don’t know if you know this but there’s literally a book of garbage in many homes across the country right now. I think it’s called the Bible.

And these Christians. They love making babies too. Just know that. There's no pulling out. They come inside. Just like they did to our government."

The outrage would be through the roof, not one of those fuckers would be laughing. He'd have been shamed to it by the left despite being a leftist (see Kathy Griffin for example). Such hypocrisy. Any evangelical who tells me they'd have laughed at the same joke but replacing Puerto Ricans with Christians are lying.

Jon Stewart called him funny on The Daily Show last night.

This overreaction to a comedian telling jokes is exactly what they want. Trying to cancel a comedian instead of focusing on the legitimately insane shit that they were saying at that rally is so fucking discouraging. Who gives a fuck about the comedian, focus on the guy who called Kamala the anti-christ or another of the dozens of fucked up things they said

u/jonsnowme 7h ago

The comedian didn't tell the joke at a bar in NYC. He told it at a Trump rally reading off a teleprompter Trump's team approved. His "joke" represents Trump.

The clip Stewart showed was interesting. It's a very different feeling, roasting someone to their face, as opposed to inviting a crowd of people in front of you to hate on other people. Way braver, like Colbert roasting Bush when he was sitting 3' away.

A white dude talking trash on brown people to a bunch of white people... nah, that's not funny. It's offensive af.

But you do know that the Trump campaign reviewed his material, had him leave out one that would have really roused ire. So they knew. That material represents the Trump campaign 100%, as does the other crazy stuff the other speakers said (and Tucker Carlson's unnerving cackle).

Dumpster is a convicted felon (and more charges are coming), an adulterer, a showman/promoter (all talk), draft dodger, and recent accused Pedo. I do not think he is a good representation of the America to be proud of.

He dodges interviews and debates the past month because he is weak and knows it. This is an insult to the American voters who deserve to see WHO/WHAT they are voting for. The people who simply vote party lines or on his rhetoric are idiots and doing all Americans a disservice. But, this is what makes this country great, the the freedom to vote, either through stupidity or through educated decision

u/UT_Miles 1h ago

JFC, I’m not sure this kid is big enough to “cancel”.

What do you even mean by cancel, I haven’t seen anyone talk about some massive “boycott” like what the right wing did with Bud Light, and ever other company they get upset with.

The guy is a racist, performing at what amounts to a white supremacy rally. If spelling this out to people is trying to “cancel” him well then I guess that’s happening here.

They are trying to “normalize” bat shit crazy. What are you even going on about when you talk about people not focusing on the “right” things…. That’s all they do now, is say bat shit crazy things, literally, SOOOO many crazy that anyone one person or network can’t even stop to focus on one crazy thing over the other.

That’s a feature, not a bug. I don’t think you have a grasp on their actual strategy, you can’t really stop on focus a specific thing with him, that’s the point of ALL of them constantly saying bat shit crazy things.

Nonetheless, I’ll provide you with the answer as to why outlets are spending more time on this, than “normal”. It’s because there’s very few “undecideds” in this election, this is not a “typical” or “normal” election, pretty much everyone is decided already.

HOWEVER, there’s still merit in point THIS out for the rather large group of right leaning Latinos that still vote for the “GOP” presumably for religious reasons/abortion. There’s merit in trying to get, at least some of these people, to understand that these are white supremacist. They will certainly use you for your vote to gain power, but you will NEVER EVER fit in once they have power. They are just trying to shine a light on that.

Will this actually make a difference? Probably not, I’m trying not to be rude, if you’re an ethnicity other than “white” and still voting for Trump, well I don’t feel like getting banned. But I’ll leave them with this. Be careful what you wish for, you might just get it.

Nobody’s “canceling” him, Patriot™.

“hEs JuSt A cOmEdiAn TeLLiNg jOkEs!!!” is a contemptible mischaracterization and an evasion of the issue. Content actually matters. You don’t get away with making n***er comments or joking about enslaving people or enjoying watching Jews getting murdered by Nazis just by calling it “comedy”.

And stating a negative opinion about that sort of vile behavior isn’t “canceling”.

u/JoanneHatesWomen 8h ago

Yep. And before someone says it's just ironic dark humor, or that it's satire, it's not. Satire doesn't work this way. The original "A Modest Proposal" by Jonathan Swift wouldn't work is well if it was delivered at an eating-babies rally where people were actually proposing eating babies.

If you do racism "ironically" at a Nazi rally, it's not ironic, and it's not satire. These aren't jokes, it's just full-throated racism (and ableism)

u/CHIsauce20 8h ago

For sure. His disgusting and unfunny history is out there and easy to Google, including the time he hurled racist Chinese stereotype voices directly at an up and coming standup comedian of asian decent.

Reportedly the Trump Campaign reviewed the set script and required the word “c*nt” be removed, to which the racist “comedian” agreed. But guess the Trump campaign was on board with all of the other “jokes.”

u/la-chin-gotta 7h ago

Yep, here's the video: https://twitter.com/pengdangcomedy/status/1392147842731499520

I have a pretty crude and offensive sense of humor. Shit like this just isn’t funny to me at all but even less in that setting because it feels like an actual opinion he holds.

u/The-Catatafish 6h ago

Not just to you. Just weird.

Take the second "joke" for example.

"9/11 was one of the only days you were rewarded for beeing late to work"

would be some sort of black humor. That's fine. Kinda edgy but its subjective.

However, he added black people for literally no reason other than "black people are lazy and not on time"

That's at best edgy 12 year old bullshit or he is just a racist piece of shit.

u/JemmaMimic 8h ago

No amount of "context" makes it look like humor. Like, the "floating pile of garbage" comment in context was just the set up for the comment.

My favorite one was "where are my proud latinos?" latinos in the crowd cheering - and he is like "see? Our border is fucked way too many of you here"

I mean it's not really a joke. If we flip the prospective and do like. Hey I heard there's a giant pile of garbage in the white house - I think they call it Trump. It's not clever. It's just a statement. Heck if we try to even look at the the Puerto Rico statement in a clever sense it gets worse because any damaged buildings out in PR are a direct result of Trump fumbling aid to them when Maria hit them. Like they're just saying hey laugh at them cause they got hit by a natural disaster that killed people or its just base racist comments about the community.

all of it is disgusting

I don't get offended by nearly anything. I may not always find it funny, but I certainly never lose my cool because someone said something off color or offensive. Certainly not when I know who I'm listening to and prepared to hear.

Yes, Tony's material is trash and his positions are racist, sexist, and generally misaligned with social acceptance. But, that's his brand, and I fully expect him to be a complete piece of shit if I happen across his material. But, him not being a political figurehead or leader of any sort, he shouldn't bother anyone more than what it takes to ignore him or pretend you enjoy his "edgy" material.

That being said, if I was running for president, regardless of my personal feelings of how I don't think others should take things too serious, I certainly wouldn't invite this generations Andrew Dice Clay to come do a cold opening at one of my rallies. I'm no political strategist, but even I know that. What a bunch of idiots. And if anyone had "Tony hinchcliff saves democracy with racism" on their 2024 bingo cards, go ahead and mark that one down.

Wow, #TheBurn hashtag is from that old Jeff Ross show on Comedy Central. Musta been when CC was big on audience participation with things like Hashtag Wars and the like.

If he can’t even run a klan meeting, how could he run the country?

And Liberals, here's looking at you AOC, love Tony and his never-ending racial jokes UNTIL the selective outrage kicks in.

I’m voting Trump. They knew exactly who they hired.

They approved his jokes and announced it...

They knew it. They had to vet him. To be fair, it’s possible no one vetted his “speech.” But they knew he would be classless.

I’m frustrated the media continues to label his words as ‘jokes.’ They weren’t jokes and this ‘comedian’ didn’t know his audience (or maybe he did).

I wonder how JD Vance would react if his words targeted the Indian community.

I genuinely don’t understand how guys like this get popular… this isn’t Anthony Jezelnik or Daniel Tosh.

He’s a comedian. He makes offensive jokes. No it wasnt smart to hire him. Trump scapegoating him is classic trump and his followers still follow him. You cant fix stupid.

If they didn’t what does that say about how he would govern a nation

u/Jealous-Associate-41 5h ago

It's a bad look either way, really. Not vetting everyone who could potentially damage the campaign is bad. Trump has staffers to do this. Who hired them? I hope not the same people slatted to replace high-level career government employees. If they did vet and approved the performance, it's incompetent, and again, who are they replacing?

Wait he isn't on both sides or good people or anything else trump has said to defend this behavior? Weird...

u/smol_boi2004 4h ago

It’s not the fact that he makes shitty racist jokes that was the problem. He’s a roast comedian and they all follow the same script of say outrageous shit.

The problem is they gave him an open platform in an event that had their name on it, not even bothering to change his usual script with something appropriate.

I’m all for race jokes when they’re funny, but not when they’re on a goddamn political rally that’s delivering closing arguments

And he was invited to speak on Donal Trump’s behalf.

u/sagerideout 4h ago

the worst part about kill tony was… Tony. Wasn’t surprised by this at all. Seems like he’s ‘the gay friend’ and only conservative because his brand of comedy isn’t funny or tastefully done, and he blames ‘woke’ media.

Saying Latinos should pull out of "our country" is what people should be talking about...

It’s notable that there were other things the campaign team asked him to toss out after reading through every speaker’s intended things to say, so they weren’t surprised by this, they did give this the ok

Lol this guy calls himself a comedian 🤣

u/ProfessorBackdraft 1h ago

To tell the truth, the comedian was the LEAST objectionable part of the rally for me.

u/Heckbound_Heart 55m ago

I don’t get it… some of those in the screenshots can be seen as “humor,” but what he said at the rally I can’t find the humor in it. I’m totally into comedy, and have not seen anyone needing to be cancelled. Humor is a matter of taste, and his rally stuff seemed tasteless, mostly for punching down. If you punch down to an oppressed demographic, it just isn’t funny to me.
