Conservatives can’t do comedy as a result of what they discover humorous—selecting on the weak and defenseless—doesn’t amuse regular individuals. Often, that doesn’t matter at political rallies, that are designed to rev up the trustworthy.
But it surely issues if the goal is a key voting demographic … for the opposite facet.
At Sunday’s Donald Trump rally at Madison Sq. Backyard in New York Metropolis, “comedian” Tony Hinchcliffe did every part potential to assist Vice President Kamala Harris’ marketing campaign.
“There’s literally a floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean right now. I think it’s called Puerto Rico,” this joker stated. Actually calling Puerto Ricans rubbish. And … why? As a result of they suppose racism is humorous.
What shouldn’t be humorous for the Trump marketing campaign is that 3.8% of Pennsylvania’s inhabitants—467,000 individuals—is Puerto Rican. President Joe Biden gained the state by solely 80,555 votes in 2020.
That’s not all: 1.15 million dwell in Florida, the place Democrats are hoping for an upset Senate win.
One other 230,000 dwell in Texas, residence of one more aggressive Senate race.
North Carolina has 115,000 Puerto Ricans, the place Trump gained by solely 74,483 votes in 2020.

The stupidity of this “joke” can’t be understated, but it serves as a stark reminder of simply how a lot these individuals hate anybody that isn’t white males like them.
However the remainder of us Latinos shouldn’t really feel omitted. He hates us too.
These evangelicals who offered their souls in service of Trump? Congrats, now they’re on the workforce making ejaculation jokes at massive political rallies.
And heck, when you’re going to go all-out racist, why maintain again?
