How about you apologize to the American taxpayer first.
The comedian in question is popular with the young adult men of our country. My son watches his podcast material frequently.
Thankfully the comedian was the first speaker after the national anthem & pledge of allegiance as the rally began.
It would appear the Bishop is looking for his 15 minutes of fame?
Right?! Was this guy a plant by the lefties or something? What a stupid idea to book this clown.
I never supported that ingrate. But Trump has always allowed utter retards into his inner circle, and still is.
P.R. has over 3.2 million residents in just over 3,400 sq. miles of land. That's roughly the same as Connecticut. But Connecticut uses wast to energy facilities and out-of-state landfills. P.R. doesn't have the luxury of sending waste across a border.
“On October 19, 2024, Hinchcliffe appeared on ESPN’s College GameDay in Austin, where he made several gay jokes which some criticized as homophobic.”

100% a setup. But why allow ANY comedian to perform at a political rally? Made no sense whatsoever.
The Archbishop is providing Trump with a golden opportunity to repair at least some of the damage. If Trump doesn’t take this opportunity, he is a fool.
They should have hired Gutfeld.
Well, when this “comedian” gets Harris elected I’m pretty sure she’ll be sending barges down there to haul their garbage back to America.

During a stand-up set in May 2021, Hinchcliffe was videotaped insulting Peng Dang, an Asian American comedian who had introduced Hinchcliffe after performing the previous set at Vulcan Gas Company in Austin. Hinchcliffe said Dang was a “filthy little ****ing chink”, followed with a series of Asian stereotypes in a mock Chinese accent, and lashed out at audience members who laughed at Dang’s jokes, branding them as “race traitors”.
Variety also reported that in an October 2023 episode of the podcast Triggernometry, Hinchcliffe claimed that Dang was a “Chinese spy” and the incident was an “an orchestrated attack by the Chinese media”. In response to these claims, Dang questioned the logic behind a country sending a spy to pose as a stand-up comedian and shared that he continued to receive racist and hateful messages from Hinchcliffe’s fans since the incident.
On October 27, 2024, Hinchcliffe spoke at a Donald Trump campaign rally in Madison Square Garden, where he denigrated Puerto Rico as a “floating island of garbage”. He expressed disdain for migrants, and stated “these Latinos, they love making babies, they do. There’s no pulling out. They don’t do that, they come inside, just like they do to our country”, and invoked several racist stereotypes. Hinchcliffe made remarks about carving watermelons with Black people and Palestinians throwing rocks in the Israeli–Palestinian conflict, and alluded to economic antisemitism by joking that “Jews have a hard time throwing that paper.” Hinchcliffe’s remarks were widely criticized as racist, including by prominent politicians such as Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walz, who called him a “jackwad”, and Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who is of Puerto Rican ancestry. Representative Ritchie Torres, also of Puerto Rican ancestry, said that he was “tempted to call Hinchcliffe racist garbage but doing so would be an insult to garbage.” In response to the Puerto Rico joke, Trump campaign senior advisor Danielle Alvarez said that it did not reflect the views of Trump or the campaign, while Donald Trump Jr. retweeted Hinchcliffe’s dismissal of criticism....”

Agree. No intelligent person (or even semi-intelligent person) doesn't know that jokes like this can backfire spectacularly in today's environment. It's a trap.
This story is not going away. There is a story today about how Hispanic groups in Las Vegas are reacting negatively to the “jokes.” The polls in the seven swing states are showing every state is essentially tied. Local liberal newspapers are going to be hammering this in each state. Trump must get ahead of this.
He is speaking today, and should denounce the douchebag, and remind people how Puerto Ricans are flocking to support his campaign, because they don't trust Kamala.
The left slavers over the idea of putting us in the traditional RINO position of permanent apology.
No. One step back will unleash a storm of spurious accusations and demands.
Un-friggin-believable! Yet some f-ing retard in the Trump camp HIRED this little scumbag to ruin this awesome rally.
If 100,000 Hispanics in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania change their vote because of this, it could cost Trump the election -
sheesh, instead of blaming Trump for what a comedian says, why not focus your energy on cleaning up the garbage in PR?
Trump apparently was associated with a 1,000-acre golf property on the Atlantic in Puerto Rico.
The archbishop wants Trump to apologize for something he didn’t do?
Has the archbishop openly called out Democrats for their baby-killing stance and excommunicated these politicians in his archdiocese for what they actually voted for?
I bet not, hypocrite.
