Comedian Tony Hinchcliffe sparked a fierce backlash after making controversial remarks at a Trump rally in New York City, mocking Latino and Puerto Rican communities with statements that quickly spread on social media. (snip)
Following the incident, Minnesota Governor and Vice Presidential candidate Tim Walz, alongside Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, criticised Hinchcliffe's jokes during a livestream. Walz expressed frustration over the remarks, questioning the appropriateness of targeting U.S. territories and citizens. He highlighted Puerto Ricans' contributions to the U.S. military, and referenced Donald Trump's response to Hurricane Maria in 2017, a topic that has previously garnered criticism for insensitivity. Ocasio-Cortez echoed these sentiments, calling the comments "upsetting" and urging Latinos to recognise how such remarks could reflect societal perceptions of their community.
In response to the backlash, Hinchcliffe defended his set on social media, claiming that people "have no sense of humour" and arguing that his jokes were taken out of context to appear offensive. He insisted that he "loves Puerto Rico" and vacations there frequently. To further his point, he suggested that Walz "change his tampon," dismissing the outrage as an overreaction aimed at stifling comedic expression, according to his post on X (formerly Twitter).

LOL Tampon Timmy is bleeding out of where ever.
Maybe Slow Joe can introduce him to a professional butt wiper.
He really goes after stars in his audience. This is nothing, but they can say anything.
This is awesome. All the butt-hurts need to grow a spine and laugh every once in a while.
