…US congresswoman Maria Elvira Salazar said she was “disgusted” by the “racist comment”. She said it did not "reflect the GOP values""…

You sure about that Maria?

    Had he made these jokes anywhere else - like on stage at a dive bar, like normal - I wouldn’t care. But he did this set at a MAGA rally. Whether or not he was “just joking” is completely irrelevant. If I teleport back to 1933, speak at a Hitler rally and make jokes about Jews liking money, it doesn’t matter what my heart contains or if I have Jewish friends or enjoy Jewish cuisine or if I don’t have an anti-Semitic bone in my body. This is a package deal, not an individual comic’s shitty set.

    Either Tony is a genuine scumbag racist MAGA cunt, or he’s just a stupid, thoughtless, imbecilic cretin who hasn’t got the willpower to turn down a stage of this magnitude regardless of the ramifications. Maybe a little of both. In either case, he’s a tedious tone-deaf dickhead.

      I would still care if he said this in a club. It’s not even funny, it’s just racist. If it was funny we’d laugh but it’s just lazy and offensive

      He’s always been a cretin so whatever else is on top of that. Cretin is his foundation.
