Actually, I expected him to say "i know him. Amazing guy" 😂

[janet.snakehole]

lol he denounced Tony before the Proud Boys 😂 🤦‍♂️

[walterhorn]

But yet none of you are mad about George Lopez calling Mexicans thieves a couple days ago at the Harris rally I noticed it’s not plastered on every new station, wonder why…

[michaelpurcell]

No way out of this. Either the scripts were previewed and approved, or they were not. Both are not acceptable excuses. Own it

[Hucklowsfrontlawn]

He’s a comedian people he’s supposed to make fun of everything

[starrycanvas]

I'm Puerto Rican, and will be voting for Trump. Jokes have no weight on obviously right decisions.

[CoolDaysEnd]

Who hired him? Who approved of his material?

[drsurf]

I don't know him, I think he brought me covfefe once.

[jonathanmayorga]

lol lefties being soft. 😂 George Lopez was with Kamala saying Mexicans will take anything not nailed down and I’m not hearing anyone cry and b**** about that at all

[ldk]

Honestly one of the worst jokes of all time. Even MAGA folk are denouncing him

[carlwilson]

If you are not helping The Clown or make him look Bad, he doesn't know you😊

[timmckeown]

This guy never knows any of the horrible people he pals around with.

[MikeSavage-ir]

what about the other speakers? they all said some really vile things....

[SummerSmith-ry]

It was a JOKE!!! seriously get a life!!

[Dapper_Dean]

The love for Trump's hate, is undeniable.

[ansbach]

Right, Trump, you didn't know him. Just like he didn't know Stormy Daniels, David Duke, Anthony Scaramucci, Papadopoulos, Manafort, Epstein, etc.

[darlenetarantino]

How can you ask people to make you the President of the United States if you are unwilling to take responsibility for what happens in your own campaign let alone your administration?

[KatherineGuiden]

Love equals racism and laughter? Sure.

[jrdubois]

There is no "fallout." It was funny and there are 6 million Puerto Ricans in the U.S. and only 3 million in puerto even puerto ricans cant stand puerto rico
