A Floating Island of Garbage

Puerto Rico has had a long and proud heritage. A comedian said it was a "floating island of garbage". Voiced during a rally for a presidential candidate; this was a comment one can easily hate. That certainly didn't get any laughs from me. Such a remark was a political travesty. This person should keep his mouth in a pucker. That way, he won't sound like a dumb ________. (fill in the blank) from various news sources.

I guess “sucker” wasn’t the word you were thinking of, Robert! I agree with you and I’m positive that comment would not have been made, even in jest, at a different candidate’s rally…

What happened to comedy in the present climate? Some people are to sensitive and need to settle down. We are all entitled to our own beliefs and feelings. I'll admit, the joke didn't land well and he got boo'd for it in real time. The comic is "Kill Tony" and if you've ever watched his podcast/Youtube channel that's what he does, distasteful humor. I don't share your views on this but I like to engage with those with whom I differ. Not one to circle jerk with like minds.. Asavvy1
