Donald Trump downplayed the controversy surrounding a racist joke told by comedian Tony Hinchcliffe at his Madison Square Garden rally. Hinchcliffe compared Puerto Rico to a "floating island of garbage," sparking backlash. Trump claimed he didn't know Hinchcliffe and that the incident was being overblown. He also stated he has a good relationship with Puerto Rico, despite criticism over his handling of Hurricane Maria.

Tony Hinchcliffe has secured a Netflix deal for a solo stand-up special and three specials based on his YouTube series, “Kill Tony.” The first special will be filmed at The Comedy Mothership in Austin, Texas, and will premiere on April 7.

Hinchcliffe faced bipartisan criticism for his offensive jokes made during a rally for President Donald Trump, which the Trump campaign later distanced itself from.

Despite the backlash, Hinchcliffe stated he would “apologize to absolutely nobody” while expressing excitement about the creative freedom offered by Netflix.
