“These Latinos, they love making babies, too. Just know that they do,” Hinchcliffe said, setting up his joke: “There’s no pulling out. They don’t do that. They c-- inside, just like they did to our country."

“There’s a lot going on. I don’t know if you guys know this, but there’s literally a floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean right now. I think it’s called Puerto Rico,” he said to a scattering of claps and jeers.

Hinchcliffe also told a joke about one of his Black “buddies” and how they “carved watermelons” together.

What a brilliant guy. Puerto Rico is a United States territory that is mismanaged and abused with no representation in government like the states. If it is a floating island of garbage, every president in recent memory is at fault.

God forbid we let US citizens come into the USA and leave their skin color concentration camp.

Death to Nazis.

Tony hinchcliff rode Rogan coat tails so hard he followed him to fascism. WTF.

As someone who dipped out of Rogan once all of his cabal made podcasts of their own like 10+ years ago, this is bonkers that he essentially "opened" for Trump. Forever an opener lmfao
