First, presidential rallies, in general , aren't what they used to be. We have comedians, rappers, professional wrestlers, etc, so having a comedian isn't surprising.

Second, he's a comedian. He does what comedians do. I suspect he was also confident that his audience would be receptive to his off-color jokes.

I don't blame Ricky Gervais for his performance at the hoity toity Golden Globes. I blame the Golden Globes for inviting a host who they knew was known for controversial comedy. Ricky was doing what Ricky does, just like this guy. Ultimately, he did nothing wrong to be held accountable for, IMO.

But Ricky Gervais is actually funny. He’s an extremely successful comedian who sometimes says controversial things. Like Chappell or Carlin. Hinchcliffe is an asshole bro of modest success telling jokes, mostly on a podcast. This I know only because I’ve never heard of him before this spectacle and that’s what Google has to say about him.

It’s sad he’s the only one that will face consequences. The fact that some pizza cutter of a comedian will ultimately pay a higher price than a former president is absurd, but that’s where we are.

And I can’t wait for the rest of Rogan’s little pets to keep cycling through each other’s podcasts while churning out increasingly similar, unfunny specials. Joey Diaz sure is crazy, peak comedy everyone!

As a pretty regular viewer of Kill Tony, I do enjoy it for the comedians themselves, but have always thought Hinchliffe was an asshole and apparently a rare gay magat. Comments he’s made in previous pod cast episodes about Biden/Trump/Harris prepared me for what was said at MSG. His podcast is one of the most popular ones out there and I’m sure he will suffer some sponsor losses because of this. They usually post the podcasts on YouTube a few weeks after the fact so I’m going to be interested to see how he is in a few weeks.
 
I’m someone who can appreciate offensive humor when it’s funny. There can be a time and place for it. But ask yourself this: Why would a campaign want to have a comedian known for offensive humor that targets various races and ethnic groups, etc. be one of the speakers at a major campaign rally?

Because its a campaign that that targets various races and ethnic groups and hates them.

I had never heard of him before the MSG rally. He seems like an a-hole and probably isn't very funny to most people, but his success and the quality of the jokes seems to be secondary the belief that he should somehow be held accountable. The only ones to blame is Trump and his team who scheduled him.
 
So, I wonder if the guy in Puerto Rico who threatened to resign if there was no apology is actually going to resign. Any statement from him yet?
