    ‘I love Puerto Rico and vacation there. I made fun of everyone,’ the comedian said

    This is no different than “I have a black friend, I can’t be racist.” Absolute clown.

      I’ll bet he’s a rude condescending racist prick to the natives while he “vacations” there.

      It’s even worse than that because I doubt they’re going to Puerto Rico to visit friends. It’s more like saying, “My maid is black. I can’t be racist.”

    You can always tell who a conservative is, they are the one who is always cruel. They think cruelty is funny. They are psychopaths.

    Look, I love an offensive joke. I also think there’s a time and a place, and a political rally full of people who struggle with fact vs fiction probably isn’t the best place for it.

      Yeah if it was at a comedy show I would kind of be ok with it but it did not come off as comedy at this event.

        Correct so why have him as a speaker at one. That is the real issue

    While I do like jokes, even offensive ones, it often surprises me that so many American comedians seem to struggle with:

    • Knowing that their audience isn’t just people in the room with them
    • Understanding that at a mainstream level you can’t just cater to one crowd.

    I’ve always found Tony Hinchcliffe to be a strange comedian. Sometimes he’s funny, and some of the people on Kill Tony can be great (especially the guitar guy from a while ago), but many within the “Rogan Circle” just seem to struggle with going from small shitty bars in Texas a decade or two ago to owning podcasts with thousands of viewers.

    “I made fun of everyone.”

    Did he make fun of Trump supporters? Or… white people in general?

      If he made fun of white Christians he probably would have been murdered.

    Why do they always go to the tampon. Do they think women’s hormones are cause by the tampon? The tampon just holds blood. Do they think women can’t handle that much blood? What next, bile? Shoot, bring all the humors in here.

    “Ya’ll are too sensitive, this is clearly an excess of black bile. Vance, get your dick out of the couch and grab the leeches!”
