Firing Lane

Please Don't Kill Tony: When Comedy Meets Campaign Chaos


Listen Later

In this Firing Lane episode, Croaky takes on the bizarre intersection of comedy and campaign strategy, where comedian Tony Hinchcliffe’s Puerto Rico joke at a Trump rally has become an unexpected campaign blunder. Croaky explains why the joke itself wasn’t the problem—it’s the setting that turned it into a PR nightmare. From Kamala Harris’s well-timed appeal to Puerto Rican voters, to Trump supporters doubling down in the worst possible way, Croaky breaks down how this soundbite has turned into a gift for the Democrats. Above all, Croaky urges listeners not to blame Tony for this fallout. Instead, the real fault lies with the campaign handlers who thought a rally was the right stage for edgy stand-up right before an election. Tune in as Croaky exposes a textbook case of political mismanagement and reminds us all to “watch our lane” when it comes to electoral strategy.
