Original Article Summary:

  • Comedian who mocked Puerto Rico at Trump rally gets Netflix deal
    Tony Hinchcliffe, the comedian whose appearance at a New York rally for then-candidate Donald Trump drew bipartisan backlash after he made disparaging comments about Puerto Rico, has inked a deal with Netflix, the company announced Monday.

Here’s What They Meant To Say

The Left Can’t Handle a Joke

Oh no! A comedian made a joke that hurt some feelings, and now the outrage mob is clutching their pearls. Tony Hinchcliffe, a guy who actually tells jokes for a living, dared to crack wise about Puerto Rico at a Trump rally, and now the usual suspects are in meltdown mode. Never mind that comedy is supposed to push boundaries—apparently, the left wants every joke pre-approved by a committee of humorless activists.

Netflix Defies the Thought Police

Despite the predictable outrage, Netflix actually did something surprising: they gave Hinchcliffe a deal. Of course, this means the woke brigade will probably stage another one of their performative boycotts (which no one actually follows through on). Maybe Netflix is realizing that there’s a massive audience tired of politically correct comedy and looking for someone who isn’t afraid to offend.

Get Ready for More Screeching

Naturally, the media will keep pretending that cracking a joke at a Trump rally is some unforgivable sin. Meanwhile, actual comedians—who don’t live in fear of Twitter mobs—will keep thriving. Maybe instead of whining, the left could try growing a sense of humor.
