Trump wanted to make the closing message of his campaign this weekend in his home city of New York. However, the Madison Square Garden event was overshadowed by the racist and sexist comments from several of his opening acts.
The most controversial of those acts was Tony Hinchcliffe, a roast comic who thrives on being vulgar and insulting. And it looks like Hinchcliffe's comments about Puerto Rico could have a real affect on the coming election.
The decision to have a racist comedian warm up the crowd was clearly a terrible one with many wondering why the campaign would do such a thing. According to Sweet's message, the idea might have come from Joe Rogan.
The journalist shared a clip of his his popular podcast where Rogan says:
"It would behoove him to hire a few great comics to just tour with him, and just write one-liners about all these different fuckin’ people. If he could remember them. I know he likes to go off his own head, but if he could remember a few Hinchcliffe bangers. If he hires Hinchcliffe to take him on the road! You know how fucking insane that would be? Hinchcliffe writing bangers for Trump to shit on people."
