Comedian Tony Hinchcliffe Stands Firm Amid Backlash Over Puerto Rico Joke

Hinchcliffe refuses to apologize for controversial remarks made at Trump's Madison Square Garden rally, citing free speech and comedic license.

Tony Hinchcliffe sparked outrage with a joke referring to Puerto Rico as a 'floating island of garbage' during a Trump rally.
Despite criticism from both political sides and media, Hinchcliffe declared on his podcast that he will not apologize to anyone.
He defended his joke as a commentary on Puerto Rico's landfill issues, emphasizing his love for Puerto Ricans and their intelligence.
Hinchcliffe acknowledged the Trump rally may not have been the best venue for his routine but maintained his comedic style will remain unchanged.
The controversy did not appear to impact Trump's election results, as he secured significant Latino support, including from Puerto Rican communities.
