Pro-Trump comedian who told Puerto Rico joke at Madison Square Garden draws criticism from AOC, others

Comedian Tony Hinchcliffe sparked bipartisan backlash by cracking a joke about Puerto Rico while speaking at the Trump rally held on Sunday at Madison Square Garden.

"I don't know if you guys know this, but there's literally a floating island of garbage in the … ocean right now." Hinchcliffe said. "I think it's called Puerto Rico."

The Trump campaign swiftly distanced itself from the joke. "This joke does not reflect the views of President Trump or the campaign," Trump campaign senior adviser Danielle Alvarez noted in a statement, according to reports.

Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York addressed Hinchcliffe's joke during a Twitch stream with Vice President Kamala Harris' running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz.

"Who is that jackwad?" Walz asked in response to the clip.
