* Tertia Optio * Defend the Constitution
The only joke disapproved by the Party of Trump was calling Harris a cunt. Everything else was okay with them....until the backlash started. LOLThe comedian went on to refer to a black audience member carving watermelons for Halloween, made a sexual joke about Latinos and referred to the Israel-Palestinian conflict in terms of a game of rock-paper-scissors.
“You know the Palestinians are gonna throw ‘rock’ every time,” he said. “You also know the Jews have a hard time throwing that paper.”
Hinchcliffe made a gesture of doling out money—an apparent reference to antisemitic tropes about Jewish greed—as he made the latter comment.

Hinchcliffe’s remarks—and the ensuing backlash—has sparked questions about how such an offensive speech was allowed at such a high-profile rally; whether it was deliberate; and why a presidential campaign would elevate a roast-master comic edgelord in the closing days of a tight race for the White House.
Campaign staffers had asked all speakers to submit drafts of their speeches ahead of time—before they were loaded into the teleprompter—according to the aforementioned sources. Once the objectionable “cunt” joke was spotted, the sources said, a staffer asked Hinchcliffe to strike it. He complied.
