    I’m sorry but that joke was funny. Yes, I am fully aware of the colonial legacy of the US in PR and I don’t think any politician should be saying or endorsing it. It was wholly inappropriate for the venue and people involved.

    But it was totally in the vein of David Spade’s old Hollywood Minute and if it was said in a comedy club nobody would care

    I only wish someone would have made the joke about Israel instead

      It’s an old hacky joke that he repurposed. Just an fyi so you don’t think this dude came up with it.
