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.”

    they don’t understand, dark humor it’s funny when the audience knows you don’t believe that way. and they also dont believe that way. but if you all agree in these bigoted shut, yeah, thats racist and repulsive, and not funny

      Believe a Republican when he sais he is racist.

      “It’s a Joke” is the standard answer when assholes get caught.

      In this case, … Latino votes lost…

      Exactly! I saw kill tony content through the lense of short form content (which I will be getting away from after this) and thought there was implied sarcasm, but nope just regular chud shit slathered on so thick I didn’t think it could be serious. 😬

      I wouldn’t say it’s good dark humour anyway

      Starting a set with “america is garbage” isn’t a good opening. It just insults the audience. There is no story to follow and you can’t follow it up with anything

      Jimmy Carr’s holocaust joke worked because it blended with the set. In addition to not believing it
