|October 29, 2024
Stand-up comedian Tony Hinchcliffe's performance at Donald Trump's Madison Square Gallery in New York City has sparked backlash after he called Puerto Rico a "floating island of garbage."
-
At Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump's rally, the comedian and podcast host Hinchcliffe made a racist joke comparing Puerto Rico, which is a US territory, to ocean waste, local media reported.
"There's a lot going on. Like, 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," he said. "I think it's called Puerto Rico," Hinchcliffe said.
CNN quoted the comedian making racist comments against Latinos, claiming they "love making babies."
