Joe Rogan reveals warning he gave to Tony Hinchcliffe about Trump rally Puerto Rico joke

Joe Rogan said he has warned Tony Hinchcliffe about his infamous Puerto Rico joke, telling him thats going to be the one that gets you stabbed.

Joe Rogan said he has warned Tony Hinchcliffe about his infamous Puerto Rico joke, telling him thats going to be the one that gets you stabbed.

Rogan made the comments on his Wednesday podcast with guests Francis Foster, a comedian, and Konstantin Kisin, a satirist and author.

Hinchcliffe, a roast comic who hosts the live podcast Kill Tony, told a joke at Donald Trumps Madison Square Garden rally this weekend that referred to Puerto Rico as a a floating island of garbage.

In the moment, the audience of about 20,000 people had a mixed reaction, but the real fallout came after, with Hinchcliffe experiencing a tidal wave of criticism from Puerto Rican pop stars like Bad Bunny, Democratic politicians and even Florida Republicans.

Rogan explained that Hinchcliffe had told the joke at comedy clubs before, where it kills. But Rogan always thought it would eventually catch up to him.

I’ve gotta tell you, that joke kills at comedy clubs. I don’t like the joke, [but] it kills, he said on The Joe Rogan Experience.  

It’s just like, if you’re Puerto Rican and you hear that in the audience, you’re like [groans]. But it’s a funny joke. The joke does well.

But I said to him, I go, "Dude, that’s the one that’s gonna get you stabbed." And he used to talk about it on stage, saying, "Joe Rogan always says that’s the one that’s gonna get me stabbed."

Rogan also argued that comedians shouldnt do their sets at events that have a political agenda, calling it a terrible setup.

I tell all comedians dont ever do comedy at something thats not a comedy event. Dont do it, he said. And its a political rally and youre doing jokes like youre in a comedy club.

Rogan said if he had the opportunity to sit down with Hinchcliffe before the Trump rally, he would have advised: Don’t you f***ing dare do that joke.

I didn’t know what bits he was going to do, but then I heard he did that joke, and I was like, "Oh, Jesus, Tony. Here it comes," Rogan said.

Rogan, though clearly concerned for Hinchcliffe, said he thought the controversy will blow over just like all these things do.

Hinchcliffe responded to the criticism he got by accusing Democrats of having no sense of humor.

He said Vice Presidential hopeful Tim Walz and Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, among others, have taken [the joke] out of context to make it seem racist.

I love Puerto Rico and vacation there. I made fun of everyone…watch the whole set, Hinchcliffe wrote in an X post.

The normally pugnacious Trump campaign also took the rare step of distancing itself from Hinchcliffe, with a senior adviser stating this joke does not reflect the views of President Trump or the campaign.

Trump himself told Fox News Sean Hannity that he has never heard of Hinchcliffe.

I have no idea who he is. Somebody said there was a comedian that joked about Puerto Rico, or something, and I have no idea who it was. I never saw him, never heard of him, and dont want to hear of him, Trump said.

But a recent poll suggested that the Puerto Rico joke wont have much of an effect on the election outcome.

Just 0.7 percent of the electorate have a more negative view of Trump following the incident, according to an exhaustive final poll before Election Day by DailyMail.com and J.L. Partners, for which 1,003 people were surveyed.
