Tony Hinchcliffe has been an important figure in the Comedy Central community and has recently found immense success with his podcastKill Tony.Unfortunately, the 40-year-old comic has been facing the heat lately after his recent appearance at Donald Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally, which left thousands of Latin Americans in complete rage and a few political figures disgusted.
The 60th quadrennial presidential elections are not too far along. Donald Trump and Kamala Harris have been battling it out to earn themselves a chance to lead one of the world’s greatest nations. But Hinchcliffe’s“floating island garbage”comment regarding Puerto Rico might have cost Trump the entire race, and it also pushed one pop star to his absolute limit.
Bad Bunny savagely responds to Tony Hinchcliffe’s distasteful comments on Puerto Rico
Hurricane Maria nearly flattened Puerto Rico seven years ago, and the island has been struggling to cope with the aftermath of the disaster ever since. At this point, every hurricane or natural disaster that occurs in that region is a true test of its infrastructure.
The same day that Tony Hinchcliffe made the“floating island garbage”comment, the iconic Puerto Rican reggaeton singer Bad Bunny shared a video ofKamala Harriscalling outDonald Trumpfor his past insensitive actions towards Puerto Rico while he was in power. In the video, Harris said,
I will never forget what Donald Trump did and what he did not do when Puerto Rico needed a caring and competent leader. He abandoned the island, tried to block aid after back-to-back devastating hurricanes, and offered nothing more than paper towels and insults.
Bad Bunny, whose real name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio reposted this particular part of Harris’ video statement toward Puerto Rico four times, perhaps in an attempt to remind Trump and his party that he will possibly never side with them.

Benito was also joined by another Puerto Rican superstar, Ricky Martin, who reposted a video of Tony Hinchcliffe’s comments on his Instagramstory. Martin captioned it by saying,“This is what they think of us.Vote for @kamalaharris.”Both musicians have a combined total of 64.2 million followers on Instagram.Beyoncé,Eminem,Mel Gibson, andSarah Jessica Parkerare among the many celebrities who have endorsed Harris (viaForbes).
Tony Hinchcliffe charges at Tim Walz’s response to his Puerto Rico joke
Let’s go back in time a little bit and reflect on the time Tony Hinchcliffe thought he nearly got into Tom Brady’s bad books. During an appearance onThe Joe Rogan Experience, the comedian recalled a moment from Netflix’sRoast of Tom Brady, when he told the NFL legend,“Nice shoes, bch.”Brady apparently replied by saying,“I’ll shove this up your a right now.”
Hinchcliffe was reminded of him being “stumped” for a few seconds before getting back on track with his segment of the roast. Unlike the exchange he had with Brady, they’re a several Puerto Ricans who actually wish to cancel Hinchcliffe.
Kamala Harris’ running mate, Tim Walz, and US Congresswoman, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez shared theirreactionsto Hinchcliffe’s comments. Walz referred to the comedian as a “jackwad” and the latter sent a rather bold message to the vice president candidate viaX.
These people have no sense of humor. Wild that a vice presidential candidate would take time out of his “busy schedule” to analyze a joke taken out of context to make it seem racist. I love Puerto Rico and vacationing there. I made fun of everyone…watch the whole set. I’m a comedian Tim… might be time to change your tampon.
Here’s one, or a million reasons why Hinchcliffe damaged Trump’s chances of winning over Puerto Ricans. One of Harris’ representatives, Jackson Peel listed out theamount of Puerto Ricansthat reside on the East Coast (specifically in New York, North Carolina, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Florida). There are over 2 million Puerto Ricans combined!

However, Harris has been winning their hearts over as she promised to ensure Puerto Rico gets the help they need. She promised to rebuild the island’s power grid that was terribly affected by the hurricane, to minimize red tape and ensure better access to disaster recovery funds (viaInstagram).
