This word was reportedly too much even for Trump’s heinous NYC rally

Donald Trump’s disastrously racist rally at New York City’s Madison Square Garden on Sunday was epitomized by Tony Hinchcliffe’s hack bigotry. The Joe Rogan-cultivated comedian called Puerto Rico a “floating island of garbage” and labored through a 12-minute set filled with “jokes” about Latinos and Black people.

Because Hinchcliffe’s litany of tasteless insults kicked off a rally for the Republican Party’s presidential nominee, his racist patter received backlash from all corners of the political world and beyond, including Puerto Rican reggaeton superstar Bad Bunny, who endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris shortly after Hinchcliffe’s set was done. (The rapper has 45.6 million followers on Instagram alone, for anyone keeping count).

However, it turns out that the disaster could have been an even bigger calamity. According to The Bulwark’s Marc A. Caputo, the Trump campaign identified one “red flag” in the comedian’s set that was nixed before the event. 

“He had a joke calling [Vice President Kamala] Harris a ‘cunt,’” a “campaign insider” told Caputo.

That’s some real comedic genius.
