Comedian of Trump rally fame gets Netflix deal

Tony Hinchcliffe, the comedian who made multiple controversial jokes at a Trump rally in October, has received a Netflix deal.

“Kill Tony is coming to Netflix. We're teaming up with Tony Hinchcliffe to turn the world's #1 live podcast into 3 exclusive comedy specials – with the first premiering April 7,” Netflix’s “Netflix Is a Joke” account on the social platform X posted on Monday.

At a Trump rally in New York City’s Madison Square Garden last year, Hinchcliffe delivered jokes aimed at Jewish people, Black people and the island of Puerto Rico. Hinchcliffe’s racist comments about the U.S. territory drew quick backlash from both ends of the political spectrum.

“There’s a lot going on. Like, 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 said at the rally.

A Trump campaign senior adviser had said that the “joke does not reflect the views of President Trump or the campaign.”

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), who is of Puerto Rican descent, slammed the joke shortly after Hinchcliffe delivered it.

“And I need people to understand … when you have some a-hole calling Puerto Rico ‘floating garbage,’ know that that’s what they think about you,” she said

Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-N.Y.) also chimed in, saying he was “tempted to call Hinchcliffe racist garbage but doing so would be an insult to garbage.”

“When casting their ballots at the voting booth, Latinos should never forget the racism that Donald Trump seems all too willing to platform,” Torres added in a post on X.
