Tony Hinchcliffe Racist Speech In Full at Trump MSG Rally

“I don’t know if you know this but there’s literally a floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean right now. I think it’s called Puerto Rico,” Hinchcliffe told the crowd (you could literally hear the maga gasp), seguing to a racist trope about Black people “carving watermelon” for Halloween.

The mainstream media calls Tony Hinchcliffe a comedian who later claimed his comments were taken out of context. To be clear, Hinchcliffe is a racist, a white supremacist, who had no business addressing the public on behalf of any political candidate.

This morning America awakens to news that the Trump Campaign is trying to "distance" it from Hinchcliffe's racist speech. Notably, Trump isn't disavowing or condemning Hinchcliffe.

"A spokesperson for Donald Trump’s presidential campaign is attempting to distance the candidate from a racist joke about Puerto Rico made by comedian Tony Hinchcliffe, who spoke before the former president at his Madison Square Garden rally Sunday night. “I don’t know if you know this but there’s literally a floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean right now. I think it’s called Puerto Rico,” Hinchcliffe told the crowd.

In response to the massive backlash to Hinchcliffe’s comments, which also included a racist trope about Black people “carving watermelon” for Halloween, Trump campaign senior adviser Danielle Alvarez told CNN political reporter Kate Sullivan, “This joke does not reflect the views of President Trump or the campaign.”

The Trump campaign now says the comment by comedian Tony Hinchcliffe about Puerto Rico being a “floating island of garbage” doesn’t reflect Trump’s views.

“This joke does not reflect the views of President Trump or the campaign,” Trump senior adviser Danielle Alvarez says.

"Like the rest of the speakers who took the stage before Trump, Hinchcliffe’s remarks were pre-loaded into a teleprompter, indicating that they would likely have been vetted by the campaign in advance," notes The Daily Beast

Gov. Walz and @AOC react to this clip: “When you have some a-hole calling Puerto Rico ‘floating garbage,’ know that that's what they think about you. It's what they think about anyone who makes less money than them… I want every Puerto Rican in Philadelphia and Reading and across the country to see this clip”

Make no mistake, Hinchcliffe's microphone wasn't cut off, he remained on stage unhindered. Trump just called America a garbage dump. Hinchcliffe just took that a step further. This is how fascists work. They have someone else say the silent part first and take the fall for it. Once that disgusting part is normalized Trump if elected will take it further.

Odessa Texas Places a $10,000 Bounty on Transgender People who Use Public Restrooms

Jonathan Saenz, attorney and president of the anti-LGBTQ organization Texas Values (pictured) spoke for an hour and a half. In contrast, local citizens speaking against the ban were led away by police officers if they exceeded the normal three-minute limit.

Odessa Texas City Council passed an amendment Tuesday expanding a city ordinance banning transgender people from city-owned or leased restrooms.

The ban passed 5-2 Tuesday despite no evidence it was needed puts a $10,000 bounty on anyone suspected of being transgender.

Unlike the state, which tried unsuccessfully to ban trans people from public accommodations, the city is not exempt from being sued exposing it to massive legal liability.

Citizens objected vigorously during the council meeting, identifying the ban as fear-mongering led by extreme right-wing groups outside of Odessa.

Questions were also raised about the involvement of the Texas Values organization in the local ordinance. Eric Rogers, a concerned citizen, asked, “That’s interesting—he filled out a card, but we got three minutes while he spoke for what, an hour and a half? I’d love to know where he got that card.”

Jonathan Saenz, attorney and president of extreme right Texas Values organization, sidestepped questions on camera when asked by a reporter from News 7 if he was invited to speak by city council members and could not identify any person or organizations that asked him to intervene.

Council member Chris Hanie insisted he introduced the ordinance to protect the safety of his daughters and grandchildren, according to the Texas Tribune.

“There's never been fear. I don't care who you are, and what you do in the privacy of your home is your business, but I don't need to see it in public,” Hanie said.
