“As Donald Trump courts the community’s vote, comedian Tony Hinchcliffe crudely mocked Latinos — a key constituency for any winning campaign in 2024 — during preprogramming for the former president’s Madison Square Garden rally,” NBC News reports. Said Hinchcliffe: “These Latinos, they love making babies, too. Just know that they do.
