Trump distances himself from comedian's racist jokes at New York rally
Donald Trump has distanced himself from comedian Tony Hinchcliffe, who made racist jokes about Puerto Rico at a rally on Sunday. Trump stated he does not know Hinchcliffe and suggested the comedian "probably" should not have been there. In an interview, Trump downplayed the incident, saying it was not a big deal and that comedians are often not vetted. He later expressed that he does not want anyone making offensive jokes at his events. Following the rally, there was significant backlash, including calls for Trump to apologize from Puerto Rican leaders. Trump has since praised the Puerto Rican community at another rally, asserting his support for them.
