Comedian Tony Hinchcliffe, popularly known as Kill Tony, is facing severe criticism for his derogatory comments about Puerto Rico and Latinos made at a recent Trump rally.

What Happened: Hinchcliffe’s contentious remarks were made during his performance at a rally for former President Trump at Madison Square Garden. The comedian’s comments, which included offensive statements about Puerto Rico and Latinos, sparked immediate criticism from Democrats and the Harris campaign, reported The Hill.

Hinchcliffe’s comments included referring to Puerto Rico as a “floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean,” and a generalization about Latinos, stating they “love making babies.” These remarks drew mixed reactions from the audience.

Democrats, including Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-N.Y.), were swift to condemn Hinchcliffe’s comments. The Harris campaign also highlighted the timing of these comments, as Vice President Harris was in Philadelphia at a Puerto Rican restaurant, discussing her plans to aid the island and enhance its electrical grid.
