    Does Tony actually align himself with the MAGA agenda, or did he infiltrate and troll the shit out of them?

            Well, the two situations aren’t comparable at all.

            Michael Richards lost his shit on a heckler, his racist outburst being unplanned.

            Tony Hinchcliffe said a lot of very planned, deliberate shit that he knows is offensive and is intended to be offensive by design. That’s his shtick, has been for a while.

            This is trolling 101. If I was doing that very thing here, I can guarantee y’all would be accusing me of trolling. It’s weird that people don’t register it when it happens out in the wild.

              I’m getting annoyed. The comedian double downed on the “joke” and there was no Puerto Ricans on stage to roast. It’s called being a racist bully. This is my last comment.

      Holy crap, that’s a pretty solid theory you’ve got there.

      I can imagine a member of the modern GOP telling jokes about Puerto Ricans and black people on the national stage because of thinking it would go well, but I can definitely also imagine that other thing, too. If that’s what it is, then the guy is this century’s unsung hero.

        I’m not an informed fan (or critic) of his, but I do know he’s commonly known to be a roast comedian, who pushes people’s buttons. It seems to me he’s the kind who wouldn’t be afraid to put his name on the line to pull off the roast of the century.
