Jotham Posted October 29 Posted October 29 (edited) Quote One day after Tony Hinchcliffe's controversial jokes at Donald Trump's Madison Square Garden rally, Jon Stewart used his opening monologue on Monday's "The Daily Show" to defend the comedian. After highlighting other speakers at the rally like Tucker Carlson and Rudy Giuliani, Stewart said, "But of course, for the media there was one moment in particular that raised the alarms," then played a supercut of network anchors criticizing Hinchcliffe's jokes, which included calling Puerto Rico a "floating island of garbage." Stewart then defended Hinchcliffe by saying, "Obviously, in retrospect, having a roast comedian come to a political rally a week before election day and roasting a key demographic … probably not the best decision by the campaign politically, but to be fair, the guy's just really doing what he does." Stewart then played jokes from Hinchcliffe's "Roast of Tom Brady" set earlier this year, laughing at the segment and saying, "Yes, yes, of course, terrible, boo. There's something wrong with me. I find that guy very funny. I'm sorry, I don't know what to tell you. I mean, bringing him to a rally and having him not do roast jokes? That'd be like bringing Beyoncé to a rally and not…," alluding to an earlier joke he made about Kamala Harris' recent rally, which featured a speech from Beyoncé rather than a performance. Hinchcliffe's rally jokes drew the ire of many political commentators and cable news hosts, as well as criticism from entertainers like Bad Bunny and Jennifer Lopez and politicians like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

Doctor Dick Posted October 29 Posted October 29 Yeah and we all know Jon Stewart is not like that so what a misleading title.
Breathe On Moi Posted October 29 Posted October 29 hi I only read the tittle and I'm here to drag, thank you 1 9
45seconds Posted October 29 Posted October 29 He's pretty right. You bring a roast comic to your rally and he's doing to do some very insulting jokes. That is more so an egregious miscalculation by the Trump team than the comic. Although I am unsure if the comic's personal views himself. So he could in fact be a garbage person.
tshwark Posted October 29 Posted October 29 (edited) That joke came from his heart, he wouldn't joke about drug addicts' poop on the streets of San Francisco. Edited October 29 by tshwark
JBJT2786 Posted October 29 Posted October 29 Here's the full video so idiots don't read just the title and look stupid. He starts talking about it at 3:40. The hilarious part i think Jon is literally stating what we all thought....the joke was just at the wrong place at the wrong time ( also it wasn't funny in my opinion...it was just bad)
CandleGuy Posted October 29 Posted October 29 He's 100% right. Tony is a funny roast comedian but he's an absolute moron for not reading the room and being able to adapt his style for the situation. Or, it's all a calculated effort to have the most vile, racist rhetoric spewed at their rally under the guise of "comedy" and the Trump campaign knew exactly what they were doing by inviting him.
Marianah Adkins Posted October 29 Posted October 29 Its relieving to see that most atrlers here are more sensible about what he said. The liberals on Twitter wanted to crucify him as if he pledged allegiance to Trump just because of this opinion
Onyxmage Posted October 30 Posted October 30 (edited) A white man defending another white man's racism? Color me shocked. Also people in here saying "It WuZ just a JokE?!" are just as stupid as anyone defending him. He was at a political rally for a man that is known for his racist tendencies. That hate speech was directed at the exact audience it was intended for. Edited October 30 by Onyxmage
