Aubrey Plaza criticizes comedian Tony Hinchcliffe for offensive Puerto Rico remarks
Actor Aubrey Plaza criticized comedian Tony Hinchcliffe for his offensive remarks about Puerto Rico during The Wall Street Journal’s Innovator Awards. Plaza, whose family is Puerto Rican, expressed her anger, saying her late grandmother would have told Hinchcliffe to "go f*** yourself." Hinchcliffe's comments, made at a rally for Donald Trump, have drawn backlash from many, including fellow Republicans. Trump claimed he does not know Hinchcliffe, despite reports that his staff reviewed the comedian's script, which included other derogatory remarks. Plaza is among several public figures condemning Hinchcliffe. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Puerto Rican celebrities like Ricky Martin and Bad Bunny have also spoken out against the comedian and expressed support for Kamala Harris.
