‘Democrat Party looks more like a Diddy Party’: Comedian Tony Hinchcliffe makes shock quip at Trump rally

A US comedian has likened the Democratic Party to a “Diddy party” in a controversial remark at Donald Trump’s New York rally.

Yes, he just said that.

Kill Tony podcast host Tony Hinchcliffe likened the Democratic Party to a “Diddy party,” alluding to the infamous “Freak Off” parties hosted by rapper Sean ‘P. Diddy’ Combs — and declared Travis Kelce “might be the next OJ Simpson” during his remarks at the Trump rally in Madison Square Garden.

“I don’t know about you guys, but I think Travis Kelce might be the next OJ Simpson,” the comedian quipped during his opening speech listing off celebrity endorsements on the left including the Chiefs tight-end and others such as Eminem and Leonardo DiCaprio, the New York Post reports.

“Every day, the Democrat Party looks more like a Diddy Party!” he jabbed, drawing sheepish laughs. “Oh okay, I see what you guys want.”

Revelations about Combs surfaced last month after he was indicted on charges of racketeering and sex trafficking.

Prosecutors alleged that he was involved in the “creation of a criminal enterprise in which he abused, threatened, and coerced women.”

Many of those allegations centred around his “Freak Off” parties. Comb has pleaded not guilty and was denied bail.

Hinchcliffe sprinkled in a handful of off-coloured jokes during his opener at the Trump rally.

His crass humour drew mixed reactions from the crowd. At one point he suggested that Israel and the Palestinians should “settle their stuff already” and pitched rock paper scissors as a way to resolve the bloody conflict.

Hinchcliffe also mused about the July 13 assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump in Butler, Pa., joking about how President Biden contracted COVID-19 right after.

“Trump survived an assassination attempt and Biden got Covid. We vote next week. God voted three months ago,” he quipped.

During another portion of his speech, Hinchcliffe sparked outrage from outside observers with an incendiary insult directed at Puerto Ricans.

“There’s literally a floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean right now. I think it’s called Puerto Rico,” he said in a swipe against the US territory.

He also targeted Latino migrants.

“I welcome migrants to the United States with open arms and by open arms, I mean like this,” he said with hand gestures signally “no.”

“It’s wild and these Latinos love making babies too, just know that,” They don’t do that. They come inside, just like they did to our country. Republicans are the party with a good sense of humour.”

Trump’s rally in Madison Square Garden attracted thousands to the iconic venue. It marks a foray into a deep blue state just nine days out from the election in which battleground states are usually top of mind for presidential campaigns.
