Two hours before Donald Trump was set to take the stage at Madison Square Garden in New York City, right-wing comedian Tony Hinchcliffe warmed up the crowd with a shockingly racist performance.
“Where are my proud Latinos at tonight?” Hinchcliffe asked the packed arena, eliciting scattered loud cheers. “You guys see what I mean? [The border’s] wide open. There’s so many of them.”
“These Latinos, they love making babies, too,” he added. “There’s no pulling out. They don’t do that. They come inside just like they did to our country.”
The crowd groaned and cheered as Hinchcliffe continued, saying, “Republicans are the party with a good sense of humor.”
Alleged “comedian”…
This guy: “[You] Latinos are invading our country and breeding us white people out of the majority… hahaha, no, no. I kid, I kid! But no really, in all seriousness, you do do that, and it’s a big fucking problem. We need a president who will put a stop to it and kick you all out like the vermin you are. Now laugh you fucking cockroaches. It’s funny because it’s true. We Republicans are truly the masters of comedy. Hurdurdurr.”
Jesus Christ these mother fuckers are twisted. To his credit, I guess, he told this joke to a crowd full of Latinos rather than when only the white folks are around like they usually do. But, less to his credit, he also thought it was ok to say at all, ESPECIALLY TO A CROWD FULL OF LATINOS. The joke depended on their being a lot of Latinos in the crowd and he actually thought, “oh they’ll love this one”. What a completely deluded moron.
Dude turn off the blaze radio, turn off the fox news, go outside, leave the gated neighborhood, and meet some new people. People as different from you as you can manage in your area. Try your hardest to realize that they are also people with their own thoughts, values, and dreams as deep and rich and varied as anyone you have ever met. Truly appreciate that and then come back and fucking apologize to these people for othering them, stereotyping them, and expecting them to laugh at their own mockery. This shit is exhausting.
Oh hey, a consistently relevant topic:
Why is conservative comedy so weird? (The Schneidecker Paradox) - Maggie Mae Fish
Maggie Mae Fish is a treasure. I wish she would make more videos more often.
(If you like her, I also recommend My Friends Call Me Pat.)
gabi belle also has a video on conservative “comedy”. Love her stuff. Speaks from a pov beyond her years.
Play to your crowd. It’s not shocking or unexpected for anyone unfortunate enough to know who this goon is. Part of that super unfunny punch down set that followed rogain from liberal California to…checks notes…the most liberal city in Texas, Austin.
I Imagine austinites hate these people lol. I know the conservatives that move to liberal cities in Ohio are very hated.
Yes, but they are rich, they won’t sully themselves living amongst country folk. Everywhere you see rural wealth are just isolated enclaves of rich people from liberal cities.
I wonder what his jokes would look like mixed in with news footage from the last ICE crackdowns, and the news stories of women undergoing hysterectomies whilst in custody.
How did he get a job opening for Trump? I thought they hated the gays.
They do it so that they can prove that they “welcome everyone”
He’s one of the guys who regularly blows Rogan, so of course he’s a piece of shit, racist trumper. By the way dude, you don’t get say people have no humor. It’s the people you were making jokes about that get to say if those jokes were racist or not, and we say they were.
They’ll take self hating members of any group except trans people
I thought he wasn’t actually gay?
He isn’t? Could have fooled me.
The coolest guy ever.
You can’t just stand with your arms like that, you need credentials.
He’s giving strong weird relative at a family dinner table vibes by saying offensive things and then trying to ease the situation by saying “it’s just a joke, relax, you can’t take a joke!?” There’s a big difference between being funny and being an attention seeker.
who? (idc)
Trump is at 46.7% baseline on 538. His TOTAL in 2020 was 46.8 and 46.1 in 2016. At the current rate it’ll be 46.8-47 by election day. The polls have been extremely good at predicting this baseline, it’s the undecided remainder they suck at guessing(Harris is at 48.1 right now) so Trump is pretty much guaranteed to get more of the Popular Vote then in 2016 or 2020.
I assume you more than his previous totals when you say “more”
Yes
Dude knows his audience. Of horrible bigots.
Here’s the set if anyone’s curious: https://youtu.be/4sjLNxnKKxY
Next they’ll start lining them up to shame them…
🎶Are there any queers in the theatre tonight?
Get 'em up against the wall
Now there’s one in the spotlight, he don’t look right to me
Get him up against the wall
And that one looks Jewish and that one’s a coon
Who let all this riff-raff into the room?
There’s one smoking a joint and another with spots
Would you like to see Britannia rule again?
Would you like to send our colored cousins home again?
The whole movie and album is becoming increasingly relevant
I saw the Roger waters version of the concert in 2010, it somehow hits harder than the movie in my eyes.
Shame roger waters kinda went off the deep end.
I made an off-hand comment to someone recently about how they needed to remember that these fascists would make him the first against the wall, and he asked me what that meant… and I became so uncomfortable, realizing how sheltered he was.
I don’t understand how we got here. I don’t understand how people are so… unaware of how easy it is, and how close they are to danger.
We got here because we let billionaires control the flow of information - and by extension, our thought processes. Among the ‘3 kinds of pigs’, remember which is the first kind?
While this is true it’s also personal accountability.
Too many people let their schooling get in the way of their education.
Isn’t this the same guy that said some off color stuff while roasting Tom Brady? That guy’s name was Tony, and it was pretty heinous at times.
Yeah, he got famous after that roast I think. Now he has a show called Kill Tony that is based at Rogan’s Austin club. People who like that group of comics think he’s good. I haven’t listened to his show myself.
Some decent comics pop up on Kill Tony on occasion, but, every time I’ve watched it, Tony himself has been deeply unfunny.
I didn’t know much about him beyond that other than the association with Rogan, but this… does not surprise me in the least.
Yeah, I had no idea that he was a right-wing comedian and now I feel weirdly guilty for liking some of the other stuff I have seen from kill Tony clips.
Kill Tony definitely has some conservative undertones. It’s not political, per se, but I’d wager 90% of its audience is conservative dudes.
The show came around way before that. Rogan has been dropping him up for years but it’s taken off the last year or 2 thanks to a couple of comedians he was able to give exposure to.
I started out seeing clips on YouTube shorts and guys like kam Patterson are genuinely funny, but more and more it got weirder and weirder and I don’t want that shit clogging up my algo so I skip it now.
Not that it matters much, but Kill Tony has been around since 2013 according to the asshole’s Wikipedia page.
Oh wow I hadn’t heard of him until a lot more recently than that. Maybe just when he moved his show to Rogan’s club is what I was thinking was the start of Kill Tony.

I watched the set. Honestly… it was so bad and blatant and distasteful it’s almost like a sabotage job. I’m not saying it’s true, as Hinchcliffe seems like a shitty person in general. BUT. If he was a different comedian, I could almost see this as a really devious way of undermining and exposing the racism of Trump Republicans. Targeting Hispanics multiple times right before an election that’s on a razor’s edge? Specifically targeting Puerto Ricans, who have large representation in Pennsylvania?
It seemed weird that he was specifically unwilling to say he’ll vote for Trump. He implied it and talked around it, but he didn’t say he would. He hid behind the idea that as an entertainer, it would be bad for him. And yet, there’s no way it would be bad for him while literally opening a Trump rally, so it seemed like a weird choice that really stuck out to me.
For anyone else watching it, didn’t it almost seem like satire? Like he was trying to get them to laugh about awful shit in a way that would make them all look bad? I find it highly unlikely that’s what he intended (though it is what he did), but that refusal to actually say he’s voting for Trump really stuck out to me.
I think you’re giving Tony way too much credit. This is exactly the type of shit he says on his show, it just has a much different impact at a political rally
