Jon Stewart is sticking up for fellow comedian Tony Hinchcliffe after his joke about Puerto Rico at Sunday’s New York City Trump rally set off a media firestorm — and he threw in a hilarious jab at the Harris campaign for good measure.
Jon Stewart defends Tony Hinchcliffe’s controversial MSG joke about Puerto Rico at Donald Trump rally, blasts media freak-out
On Monday night’s “The Daily Show,” Stewart ran a supercut of left-leaning MSNBC and CNN personalities’ scandalized reactions to the one-liner, in which the noted roast comic and host of “Kill Tony” podcast compared the US territory to a “floating island of garbage.” “Obviously in retrospect having a roast comedian come to a political rally a week before Election Day and roasting a key voting demographic is probably not the best decision by the campaign politically,” Stewart said.
The highlight reel ended with Stewart feigning outrage at the jokes, sarcastically saying “yes, yes of course. Terrible. Boooo!” before attempting to stifle his own laughter at the edgy humor.
