Jon Stewart defends comedian who joked about Puerto Rico at Trump rally: ‘I find that guy very funny’

[Billiejeens]

'To be fair, the guy’s just really doing what he does,' Stewart said of comedian Tony Hinchcliffe​

The Daily Show host Jon Stewart hit back at critics of comedian Tony Hinchcliffe's performance at former President Donald Trump's Madison Square Garden rally Sunday.

Stewart laughed as he said: "There’s something wrong with me. I find that guy very funny. I’m sorry, I don’t know what to tell you," in response to a montage of news anchors expressing indignation over Hinchcliffe’s jokes, Mediate first reported.

Hinchcliffe was widely criticized by media networks and politicians on Monday for his roast-style jokes, most notably when he called Puerto Rico a "floating island of garbage" in reference to the U.S. territory's overflowing landfills, as well as other digs at Hispanics and Black people that critics labeled racism.

Is Stewart Puerto Rican?

Because THEY don’t think this is funny at all.

They’re PISSED

The problem with the joke is the majority of Americans don't know Puerto Rico is going through a waste crisis. So all context is lost.

Actually, it's mostly whiny white progressives stealing agency and being pissed for them.

no worse than the mostly whiny white republicans whining because Biden made a joke about them.

That was actually at people, not at a situation. There is a difference.

Of course you won't see it.

there is no situation in which PR is floating pile of garbage.

Then why has the head of the GOP in Puerto Rico said he was withholding his support from Trump till he gets an apology

It's having a landfill crisis. I'm sure Staten Island was called that by someone in the past before they shut down Fresh Kills.

It was a joke.

Was he supporting Trump previously?

Probably another RINO.

He was and he’s not

How convenient to be able to call any sane Republican a RINO

Here is the clip:

Jon Stewart... The best line ever!

"Bringing him [Tony Hinchcliffe] to a rally and not have him do roast jokes is like bringing Beyonce to a rally and not...."

Jon Stewart also said what I said, not the best decision to bring a roast comedian to a pollical rally a week before an election.

Hard to believe it takes another comedian to bring some sense to this non-story.

The REAL story is Joe Biden calling Americans garbage.

I don’t great it, apparently he’s more of the comdians, comedian

He was on the Tom Brady roast and I didn’t find him funny there either
