NEW YORK (AP) — Of the nearly 30 speakers who recently warmed up the crowd for Donald Trump at Madison Square Garden, one has gotten most of the attention — comedian Tony Hinchcliffe. He called Puerto Rico a “floating island of garbage” during his often-vulgar opening set. The Trump campaign took the rare step of distancing itself from Hinchcliffe, a stand-up comedian who specializes in the roast style, in which comedians take the podium to needle a celebrity victim with personal and often tasteless jokes. Hinchcliffe responded that his critics, saying they “have no sense of humor.”
