Jon Stewart is sticking up for fellow comedian Tony Hinchcliffe after his joke about Puerto Rico at Sunday’s New York City Trump rally set off a media firestorm — and he threw in a hilarious jab at the Harris campaign for good measure.
On Monday night’s “Daily Show,” Stewart ran a supercut of left-leaning MSNBC and CNN personalities’ scandalized reactions to the one-liner, in which the noted roast comic and host of “Kill Tony” podcast compared the US territory to a “floating island of garbage.”
The clips ended with “Morning Joe” cohost Mika Brzezinski calling out Hinchcliffe’s “extremely vile so-called jokes,” which Stewart quipped was the name of his first comedy album.
“Obviously in retrospect having a roast comedian come to a political rally a week before Election Day and roasting a key voting demographic is probably not the best campaign decision by the campaign politically,” Stewart said.
“But to be fair, the guy’s really just doing what he does,” he added, before punctuating his point with a montage of clips from the Tom Brady roast in which Hinchcliffe makes outrageous jokes about Jews and black people.
The highlight reel ended with Stewart feigning outrage at the jokes, sarcastically saying “yes, yes of course. Terrible. Boooo!” before attempting to stifle his own laughter at the edgy humor.
