    “Wild that a vice presidential candidate would take time out of his ‘busy schedule’ to analyze a joke taken out of context to make it seem racist,” Hinchcliffe wrote. “I love Puerto Rico and vacation there. I made fun of everyone…watch the whole set. I’m a comedian Tim…might be time to change your tampon.”

    Comedian does a set at a political event - in this political environment and for Donald Trump’s racially charged campaign - and thinks he can pull that card? Time to change your fleshlight Tony, might be inhaling some microplastics.

      Comedian is a strong word for someone with different riffs on the same bad joke. I’d never heard of him before but Yakov Smirnoff had more range. Being edgy isn’t a joke by itself. Motherfucker stole his jokes from whatever 12 year-olds he either fucks or plays video games online with.

      Great comedians can take you on a whole journey with one bit where you laugh at him/her, yourself, the situation, etc. and then, often, you laugh hardest when the punch line comes and you learn something. There’s never been a time when more classic comedy specials are available to stream and they chose the worst comedian ever to read jokes off an incel message board.

    Why would Puerto Ricans care? Everything republicans say is backwards.

    If they call trump great (lol) and you crappy, you nailed it. The problem is that they’re talking at all.

      He’s a Puerto Rican rapper / singer, and is extremely, extremely popular. This is a very big deal, even if you personally haven’t heard of them.

      Edit: He was the most streamed artist on Spotify globally in 2020, to give you some context.

        I know who he is. He’s trying to be something he is not. That’s the sarcasm.

        He’s a shitty pop star that is trying to be something he isn’t. It’s embarrassing.

        He is an embarrassing human being.

          He’s a shitty pop star that is trying to be something he isn’t.

          He is, actually, a human that gets to stand up for humans he knows.

          That’s not sarcasm and your delivery doesn’t even make sense.

          You don’t know who he is because he’s not rapping? Is that the joke you were going for?

          The who like that is usually used when someone completely unheard of is referred to as if you should know who they are.

          To be fair, I know a lot of people who do not know who bad bunny is. Not everyone follows that kind of stuff. To be also fair, it appears this person is just trolling

      Yes, I agree - who are you to question the validity of a celebrity standing up for their country and their community against racism?

    HuffPost - News Source Context (Click to view Full Report)

    Information for HuffPost:

    Wiki: reliable - A 2020 RfC found HuffPost staff writers fairly reliable for factual reporting on non-political topics, but notes that they may give prominence to topics that support their political bias and less prominence to, or omit, things that contradict it. HuffPost’s reliability has increased since 2012; articles before 2012 are less reliable and should be treated with more caution. HuffPost uses clickbait headlines to attract attention to its articles, thus the body text of any HuffPost article is considered more reliable than its headline. See also: HuffPost (politics), HuffPost contributors.
    Wiki: mixed - In the 2020 RfC, there was no consensus on HuffPost staff writers’ reliability for political topics. The community considers HuffPost openly biased on American politics. There is no consensus on its reliability for international politics. See also: HuffPost (excluding politics), HuffPost contributors.
    Wiki: unreliable - Until 2018, the U.S. edition of HuffPost published content written by contributors with near-zero editorial oversight. These contributors generally did not have a reputation for fact-checking, and most editors consider them highly variable in quality. Editors show consensus for treating HuffPost contributor articles as self-published sources, unless the article was written by a subject-matter expert. In 2018, HuffPost discontinued its contributor platform, but old contributor articles are still online. Check the byline to determine whether an article is written by a staff member or a “Contributor” (also referred to as an “Editorial Partner”).
