The comedian who caught hell for his"garbage" joke about Puerto Rico has released his post-speech reaction, recorded the night after his appearance at Madison Square Garden.-- one of his jokes was,"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."
That provoked outrage online and in real life, with many politicians and media figures -- and even Trump's own campaign -- to call out the joke, and Tony, for poor taste. There was also concern his association with Trump was potentially damaging to Hispanic voters, a demographic Trump was trying to court.
"I'm currently under attack," Tony said in Austin, Texas."I just want to say, I love Puerto Ricans -- they're very smart people -- they're smart, they're street smart, they're smart enough to know when they're being used as political fodder.
