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.”

    What people don’t get is that they brought Tony (and tony went) to a political rally, a serious place, to tell really old unoriginal racial jokes. Just like that guy said to you that where a joke is told matters. A watermelon joke at a roast oriented show? Eh not the worst thing to ever happen. Telling that same joke at a rally? 😮 But the fact Tony went shows he’s not joking when he says that stuff which makes him stop being a comedian and just a racist. But plenty of people will still slobber to defend it 😄
