JD Vance has sparked controversy by defending comedian Tony Hinchcliffe's racist remarks made during a Trump rally, stating he is 'so over' people being offended by such jokes. He admitted to not having seen the joke but dismissed the outrage as excessive, suggesting that society needs to stop getting offended at 'every little thing.' Hinchcliffe's joke, which included derogatory comments about Puerto Rico, has drawn widespread condemnation, including from politicians like Kamala Harris and Tim Walz, who highlighted Trump's prior mishandling of Hurricane Maria. Critics have noted that Vance's defense of the joke reflects a broader trend within the GOP to downplay or ignore the implications of such racist humor, especially in relation to Trump's campaign. The backlash includes public support for Harris from celebrities such as Bad Bunny and Jennifer Lopez, indicating significant societal discontent with the remarks. Vance's comments have been met with backlash from various political figures and the public alike, who argue that such jokes contribute to a harmful narrative.
