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.”

    Yeah, he got famous after that roast I think. Now he has a show called Kill Tony that is based at Rogan’s Austin club. People who like that group of comics think he’s good. I haven’t listened to his show myself.

        Oh wow I hadn’t heard of him until a lot more recently than that. Maybe just when he moved his show to Rogan’s club is what I was thinking was the start of Kill Tony.

      Some decent comics pop up on Kill Tony on occasion, but, every time I’ve watched it, Tony himself has been deeply unfunny.

      I didn’t know much about him beyond that other than the association with Rogan, but this… does not surprise me in the least.

        Yeah, I had no idea that he was a right-wing comedian and now I feel weirdly guilty for liking some of the other stuff I have seen from kill Tony clips.

          Kill Tony definitely has some conservative undertones. It’s not political, per se, but I’d wager 90% of its audience is conservative dudes.

      The show came around way before that. Rogan has been dropping him up for years but it’s taken off the last year or 2 thanks to a couple of comedians he was able to give exposure to.

      I started out seeing clips on YouTube shorts and guys like kam Patterson are genuinely funny, but more and more it got weirder and weirder and I don’t want that shit clogging up my algo so I skip it now.
