Tony Hinchcliffe breaks his silence on Trump election win after calling Puerto Rico a 'floating island of garbage'


The controversial pro-Trump comedian Tony Hinchcliffe is finally speaking out in the wake of Donald Trump's presidential election victory.

Although he didn't share any of this own thoughts following Trump's win, he alluded to the widespread criticism he received — including from many Puerto Ricans and Latin people in general — from his infamous stand-up set. Following his performance at Madison Square Garden, which included a line about how Latin people 'loved making babies,' Democrats and liberals seized on the jokes as a way to build support from voters abandoning Trump over the comments. Democrats hoped Donald Trump lost support among the Hispanic community after Comedian Tony Hinchcliffe called Puerto Rico a 'floating island of garbage' at the Madison Square Garden rally just over a week before Election Day; seen in 2017 in Pasadena, Calif.
