Republicans join Democrats to condemn Tony Hinchliffe for his comments at the New York event.

…US congresswoman Maria Elvira Salazar said she was “disgusted” by the “racist comment”. She said it did not "reflect the GOP values""…

You sure about that Maria?

    You might be interested in this Some More News segment where they try to analyze whether modern conservative comedians are even telling jokes these days. They compare it to what conservative comedy used to be ~20 years ago with the likes of Jeff Foxworthy and talk about how those guys actually were making jokes with actual comedic structure (subjective level of funniness aside).

      I actually watched that one and really enjoyed it, but I still don’t get the mentality. Like, I love slapstick humor and a good pratfall gets a big laugh out of me, but I’ve never laughed at someone getting slapped or falling and hurting themselves.

      This is actual hurtful “comedy.” How do people enjoy that or think it’s okay?
