Trump to ABC: I Didn’t Hear Comedian’s Comments

Former President Donald Trump told ABC News on Tuesday that he did not hear the off-color comments by comedian Tony Hinchcliffe at his Sunday evening rally at Madison Square Garden.

Trump told ABC’s Rachel Scott that he did not know Hinchcliffe prior to the event adding, “Someone put him up there. I don’t’ know who he is.”

Hinchcliffe, who hosts the popular podcast “Kill Tony,” stirred controversy Sunday when he made fun of Puerto Rico saying, “I don’t know if you know this, but there’s literally a floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean right now. I think it’s called Puerto Rico.”
