As a fervent supporter of free speech and a comedy enthusiast with a keen eye for talent, I find Tony Hinchcliffe‘s unapologetic stance in the face of adversity both commendable and amusing. Having spent years navigating the cutthroat world of stand-up comedy myself, I appreciate his tenacity to not back down from a joke, even when it stirs controversy.
Stand-up comedian Tony Hinchcliffe, who hosts the “Kill Tony” podcast, stirred up a nationwide controversy during his appearance at Donald Trump’s rally in New York City’s Madison Square Garden on October 27th. During a comedy routine where he endorsed Trump for president, Hinchcliffe made an offensive joke about Puerto Rico, likening it to a floating heap of trash. The remark triggered strong criticism from notable figures in Hollywood, including Bad Bunny, Jennifer Lopez, and Aubrey Plaza, who condemned Hinchcliffe for the racially insensitive joke.
In a recent development, Hinchcliffe released the newest installment of “Kill Tony,” which was taped following his performance at Trump’s rally, during a period of intense criticism against him. Amidst the jest uproar, Hinchcliffe acknowledged that perhaps a Trump rally might not have been the ideal location for this comedy act. However, Hinchcliffe made it clear he has no intention of issuing an apology.
During the opening of the live podcast, Hinchcliffe mentioned that he delivered a speech last night, you might not have heard about it. Surprisingly, the topic was free speech. Currently, I’m facing criticism. Being in the spotlight, I’ve brought up the issue of Puerto Rico’s landfill crisis, which is severe as all their landfills are full to capacity. Unfortunately, I seem to be the only one aware of this situation. To clarify, I admire Puerto Ricans; they are intelligent individuals – street-smart, capable of recognizing when they’re being exploited for political purposes. Regrettably, that is what’s happening now.
He went on to say, “I offer no apologies whatsoever. Not to the Puerto Ricans, or the whites, or the Blacks, or the Palestinians, or the Jews, nor even to my very own mother, whom I joked about during my performance. No one recorded that bit, and there were no news headlines about me mocking my mother.
Later on, Hinchcliffe remarked, “Maybe that location wasn’t ideal for performing that set at the time. However, to the mainstream media and those attempting to tarnish my reputation online: That’s the kind of work I do, and I will never deviate from it.
The comedian earned thunderous applause from his live spectators. Notably, Hinchcliffe’s response was delivered the evening following the rally; however, the “Kill Tony” episode showcasing it wasn’t uploaded online until a week after Donald Trump had been elected over Kamala Harris.
Following Trump’s rally, Tony Hinchcliffe faced heavy criticism for a racially insensitive joke he made. Aubrey Plaza, speaking at the WSJ Magazine Innovator Awards, expressed her disapproval: “I wanted to swiftly address the racist joke made at the Trump rally about Puerto Rico, where much of my family resides. Fortunately, my dear grandmother wasn’t present to hear that vile remark. But if she were still alive, I believe she would say, ‘Tony Hinchcliffe, you are despicable.’ And yes, the Wall Street Journal can report this sentiment.
