Tony, if you think a racist joke is just “comedy,” then it’s time to re-evaluate your routine. Hiding behind the label of a comedian doesn’t give you a free pass to spew offensive, hurtful remarks. Making fun of an entire community by calling Puerto Rico a “floating island of garbage” isn’t edgy, it’s lazy and harmful. Your “joke” wasn’t taken out of context; it was just plain wrong. If you love Puerto Rico as much as you claim, then start by showing some respect. And resorting to misogynistic jabs about “changing tampons” isn’t helping your case—it just proves how out of touch you really are.

These people have no sense of humor. 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. 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.
