It’s safe to assume that one celebrity has already cursed comedian Tony Hinchcliffe ’s family and is watching “ as misfortune follows his bloodline for the next seven generations .”
On Tuesday, Aubrey Plaza took a moment to express her thoughts about Hinchcliffe’s “floating island of garbage” joke about Puerto Rico that he told at Donald Trump ’s hate-fueled Madison Square Garden rally Sunday.
“I just wanted to very quickly respond to the racist joke that was made at that Trump rally about Puerto Rico, where most of my family is from,” Plaza said on stage at the WSJ Magazine Innovator Awards in New York. “Thankfully, my sweet abuelita wasn’t here to hear that disgusting remark.” Plaza went on to say that if her grandmother was alive today, she imagines that Abuelita would tell the comedian five epic words: “‘Tony Hinchcliffe, go fuck yourself.’”
Fully aware that this remark would likely make headlines — and was made at a Wall Street Journal event — Plaza added:
“And yes, the Wall Street Journal can quote me on that.”
