Tony Hinchcliffe: Backlash after comedian at Trump rally calls Puerto Rico 'island of garbage'

...US congresswoman Maria Elvira Salazar said she was "disgusted" by the "racist comment". She said it did not "reflect the GOP values""...

You sure about that Maria?

Gay men vouching for the GOP always amazes me.
- It has a Jews for Hitler vibe.

- Someone finally said it! I don't think most people know who this guy is. Was shocked to see him supporting Trump, even if he is an ass.
  
  I'm sure the attention will boost his career, even if it's negative. I've never heard of him before this.
  
  It'd might be acceptable if it causes Trump to lose (again).
  
  I wasn't super shocked to see him perform at a Trump rally. We watch KT every now and then, my husbo more. He ruins his own show and I've stopped paying attention except to see if someone really funny comes up in the bucket pulls. It seemed pretty on-brand for him.
  
  Trump did Joe Rogan podcast a few days ago, Tony opening could have been pitched then.
- Useful idiot. They don't know they are not actually part of the cool kids club. When the old white men sit in the parlor discussing things..the door is closed and they laugh at these goobers. They may not come for them first..but they are on the list regardless of how much groveling they did.
- Follow the money.
