Hinchcliffe, the first among ~30 warmup speakers, launched into a #crude & disparaging set of jokes about the conflict in the #MiddleEast, #Black voters & #Latinos.
[I won’t repeat them]
…A number of the opening speakers at the MSG rally threw around #vulgarities & #demeaning comments about VP #KamalaHarris & other #Democratic politicians. Radio host Sid Rosenberg called #HillaryClinton "a sick son of a b----" & David Rem, a NYC #Trump backer, said Harris was the "Antichrist."
…#Harris’ running mate, Minnesota Gov #TimWalz, responded to the comedian’s comments.…
“People in #PuertoRico are #citizens. They pay tax & they #serve in the #military at almost a higher rate than anybody else,” Walz added, knocking #Trump for his response to #HurricaneMaria in 2017 — including a now-famous video clip of the then-president tossing paper towel rolls to #PuertoRicans seeking aid.
