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.

“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.

From what I’m seeing this is not a comedian. He’s a shitty pop star and Cheetos representative at best?

WTF is happening here?

Tony Hinchcliffe is the comedian who made the “jokes”.

Bad Bunny is speaking out against him.

This same user posted negatively about Bad Bunny being “…a shitty pop star that is trying to be something he isn’t. It’s embarrassing.”

They seem to have a real problem with a celebrity defending their country and their community. It’s baffling and sad.

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.

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

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.

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”).

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
