Hinchcliffe made a series of vile comments about Latinos, Jews and Black people during Trump’s rally at Madison Square Garden.

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.”

        Funny but not so funny story. I was at the Playhouse in Cleveland, Ohio about 15 years back and my stepdad really wanted to take us to Finnegan’s Wake. It was an improv show where the actors would take suggestions from the audience in what would happen next. A few of us were trying to to be playful with the context, but the vast majority of the meatheads in the audience just kept shouting out lewd suggestions like the reverend fucking the widow. Over and over and over again. The lead guy (reverend) got so tired of it that he said “is this all you want to see!” and humped the actress a few times then ended the show. Simultaneously the best and saddest anti joke I’ve ever experienced.

        Take it as you will, but these are the kind of people we are now hinging our democracy on.

            I’d love to find out…

            For real though it’ll always be home despite folks like that. I do want to leave and find a job somewhere like New Jersey or Chicago, but we shouldn’t be defined by our assholes any more than New York should be defined by trump

      Have you ever watched Fox’s “late night” show? The guy just sits there, spews the dumbest most hateful things about anyone not in the Trump bubble, and never once smiles or even laughs. He looks like he hates everything about life the entire time.

      They don’t understand what being funny is. They think it’s all just insults.

      It’s the kind of laughing that doesn’t reach the eyes… Like mean girls in middle school cackling after torturing some poor kid.
