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

[Billiejeens]

Is Stewart Puerto Rican?

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

They’re PISSED

I get that your echo chamber has told you that.
I understand why.

The great and powerful Harris the prosecutor has no closing argument.

PS: Actual people that know PR know that PR as an island, has a huge floating garbage problem and they have almost no recycling system.
Think back to the time that the US used to have a huge problem with garbage washing up on our coast, especially medical waste.
I recall that being kind of a big deal



The only one that called actual living people garbage was Biden.

Then they should clean up their country. Garbage is a giant problem in Puerto Rico.

As Puerto Rico’s government grapples with an economic crisis, a Zika outbreak, and widespread landfill closures, another disaster is brewing -- trash on the island. Whenever it rains, several feet of black, contaminated water and trash flood the homes of people living near the Martín Peña Channel. NewsHour’s Ivette Feliciano reports.

Beyond debt default and Zika, Puerto Rico struggles as trash piles up

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

Symbolic.

If this is what you think will get Harris the win, keep thinking it.

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.

You're entirely off. For the moment, let's set aside that the guy has a long history of unapologetically racist content that merely uses the veneer of being comedy. The problem with the joke is that whole population of Puerto Ricans didn't wake up that day and asked to be roasted.

When you assemble people for a roast of whomever, everyone is a willing participant. Hell, when you're sitting around with your friends and making fun of each other, you're all willing participants. When you stand in front of the entire country and you make a "roast" of an entire ethnicity an appeal for political support, there is no element of consensual participation.

You've said this a couple times now, and seem to be keen to find a rationale to legitimize his joke. But there's really no basis to conclude that his joke was intended to be within the context of a current legitimate problem that exists in Puerto Rico. This guy does not have a history of using existing political crises, or obscure and nuanced information to underpin his "humor". He ONLY ever employs appeals to wide ranging simplistic stereotypes.

Trumper’s disrespect Puerto Ricans, women, blacks, college students, and Liberals generally. They shouldn’t be surprised when they lose the election.

If the same joke had been at a Harris rally it would not be much of an issue if at all.

There would never be such a joke at a Harris rally. And if by some weird chance there were, Harris would immediately condemn it.

Trump refuses to

To be fair Trump disavowed the comedian

 

[Lumpy 1]

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

Biden makes people laugh for all the wrong reasons..

So do you, you and Biden are twinsies

after he invited him....a bit late don't you think.

was it not Trump's rally?

.. there is hope for you..

 

[Rocko]

was it not Trump's rally?

Yeah but do you think he personally invites all speakers who speak at his rallies? I don’t. Trump claims he doesn’t even know the comedian. The whole thing is being overblown

 

[petro]

John Stewart is actually correct. The comedian was simply doing his job.
Too bad the self appointed comedian Morality Police can't understand the concept that comedy and political correctness do not mix.

Worse is idiots trying to claim they are Trump's own words.
Lying isn't going to win Harris votes, and neither is demonizing Trump supporters over it.

Liberals want a double standard that only allows white people to be a target and all other groups are off limits.
