…US congresswoman Maria Elvira Salazar said she was “disgusted” by the “racist comment”. She said it did not "reflect the GOP values""…
You sure about that Maria?
As Mediaite reported, Hinchcliffe, pointing to a Black man in the audience, “went with what seemed like an off-the-cuff ‘joke.’”
“That’s cool," he said, "a Black guy with a thing on his head. What the hell is that, a lamp shade? Look at this guy! Oh, my goodness. Wow! I’m just kidding, that’s one of my buddies. We had a Halloween party last night. We had fun — we carved watermelons together. It was awesome!”
Hyuk hyuk
It sure did, Maria. That’s why he was invited by the RNC
The GOP continues to feel shocked by the views of their peers and then do nothing about it.
Weak.
Yeah, when your party’s candidate for president, a former president, has this group of fascists on stage with him, and doesn’t make a peep about it, it most definitely reflects GOP values.
If nine people are sitting at a table, and a Nazi sits down with them, and nobody gets up, there are now 10 Nazis at that table.
In this case, it’s more appropriately “If hundreds of Nazis organize a Nazi rally to support a Nazi candidate, everyone who chooses to attend is a Nazi. Those who choose to pee in a bottle while waiting in line are double-Nazi.”
Using the transitive property of Naziism, you are correct!
And any decent New Yorker knows you just piss right on the sidewalk. That’s what it’s there for!
Then who makes all those pee bottles?
That’s just what we call any water that is not the amazing New York City tap water— the champagne of municipal water.
Edit: for those unaware, NYC tap water comes from a spring in the Adirondacks and Catskill mountains via a giant aqueduct. It’s the most delicious water in the world, right out of your faucet.
Trump-branded $50 pee bottles when?

You know… Part of me would totally believe that nobody even vetted him before booking or even asked to review the show he was going to do the night of the rally. Especially with the knowledge that some moron on his team booked the Four Seasons years ago without realizing that it was a landscaping company.
The rest of me knows these people are all pieces of shit and don’t care.
His routine was loaded into the teleprompter. It was explicitly approved.
Nah. Some nazi fuck heard his act and told Gröpenführer he’s perfect for an opening act.
Gröpenführer
I’m dead. R.I.P. me.
They did realize they weren’t actually booking the Four Seasons.
But they had publicly announced a rally at the Four Seasons before actually bothering to book.And when they were turned down by the hotel, they scrambled to find a location with the same name to hide that fact.
It reflected how drumps government operated. Announced it then tried to work out how to do it.
Elvira surprised the leopards ate her face
I knew there was a reason i hated Tony Hinchcliff
I’ve followed politics for twenty years, this absoltuly reflects GOP values.
I always saw him more as a host who delivers obvious one-liners for cheap laughs. Tbh I’ve only seen Kill Tony, no idea if he does actual standup.
Of course he pulls the classic “it was just a joke bro”.
That said, have dropped out of the comedy world years ago, it pisses me off to see dipshits like this get to perform for thousands while my friends who killed it at the open mics with real comedy are still struggling to get any attention. That’s showbiz I guess.
He said people are taking it out of context but I think context is what’s important here. He said it within the context of an official political event by one of the candidates.
What makes this even stupider, it’s not even an original joke.
At least 3 or 4 years ago, I heard a comedian tell the exact same joke but referencing the UK.
Sad
I’m so glad other people are on the Fuck Tony Hinchcliffe. I’ve been like that for years.
His whole shtick has been to make shit jokes and then whine, “What why do sensitive you can’t even take a joke?” He’s like discount Jeselnik.
Not exactly sure why his podcast gets so much attention. And I’m glad he’s getting national recognition for being a total shitbag.
Well this has more than likely gotten him a lot of new Trump fans too. Any publicity is good publicity.
Maybe. Frequently, pro-Trump comedians do not survive as comedy clubs/theaters are often in cities (so already left leaning) and owned by non-conservatives.
This could be a career killer.
Bold move to throw that insult in a city with the highest concentration of Puerto Ricans in the country (and also vote Republican).
I could be wrong, but I think the AP Style guidelines say that the word “comedian” should be in quotes when referring to a GOP “comedian”.
Maybe I am wrong, but they should say that.
She said on X that it did not “reflect the GOP values”, referring to the Republican Party, and noted thousands of Puerto Ricans served in the military.
They’re not garbage because they served?
From “The 14 Characteristics of Facism”;
#4: Supremacy of the Military
Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized.As a Canadian who has been to America on and off for decades this long predates Trump. Y’all have an unhealthy obsession with the military. You always have. To paraphrase Tim Walz, “it’s fucking weird”
Had he made these jokes anywhere else - like on stage at a dive bar, like normal - I wouldn’t care. But he did this set at a MAGA rally. Whether or not he was “just joking” is completely irrelevant. If I teleport back to 1933, speak at a Hitler rally and make jokes about Jews liking money, it doesn’t matter what my heart contains or if I have Jewish friends or enjoy Jewish cuisine or if I don’t have an anti-Semitic bone in my body. This is a package deal, not an individual comic’s shitty set.
Either Tony is a genuine scumbag racist MAGA cunt, or he’s just a stupid, thoughtless, imbecilic cretin who hasn’t got the willpower to turn down a stage of this magnitude regardless of the ramifications. Maybe a little of both. In either case, he’s a tedious tone-deaf dickhead.
I would still care if he said this in a club. It’s not even funny, it’s just racist. If it was funny we’d laugh but it’s just lazy and offensive
Calling him a comedian is being overly generous.
Tony made a career out of inviting amateur comedians to the stage to make fun of them. He also made a career out of deciphering the ever changing flavor of Joe Rogan’s penis.
He’s garbage.
