 The joke about Puerto Rico was inspired by their real problem with waste management (not people but the garbage). He makes fun of all people equally and is not a bad or hateful guy.

Kill Tony is an excellent comedy show and podcast. Check it out, it's on youtube. There's much more offensive comedy about all types of people.

 Ah, comedy inspired by real issues like waste management in Puerto Rico can be both enlightening and entertaining. Comedy should make us reflect on society while making us laugh. And yes, Kill Tony is known for its edgy humor that pushes boundaries. It's good to have comedians who can joke about anything and everything, as long as it's done in good spirit! 
 I love that show! 
 They turned that joke into a political opportunity. I live in Puerto Rico, and it was played 24/7 on the news. Most people are unaware of the waste management problems here, including many of the people living here. It had little effect on the elections. The Puerto Rican areas in Florida were still won by Trump, and it had a minimal impact on the election. It also helped that Biden came out the next day and called all Trump supporters trash. 
 However, I still think whoever vetted the jokes was dumb to let that one be allowed.  Should of been clear as day the left would of used that as an opportunity.  He is funny though he is known for aggressive jokes.
