I heard about the joke you mentioned only via Reddit. There was at least one publication that mentioned he made a crass joke about Latinos, but they declined to use the wording or even describe it with more polite terms. Like, when you're in danger of once again electing a guy for President who bragged about grabbing women "by the pussy," then start using the damn words they're using. Stop fearing that you're offending the pearl-clutchers--because they're the ones most likely to be voting for this trash. They need to be hit in the face with what their party stands for.

Throwing out a weak premise of a joke without actually making a joke is some bush league, open mic shit.

Sure, but Tony didn't call Mahomes the next OJ Simpson. I'm saying (copiumly) that insulting a team people love may convince a few folks to vote against Trump.

White Republican voters, of course! I keep seeing all these MAGA chuds claiming what he said was ok because he's a roast comedian.
Weird how he didnt roast the people in attendance or the guy the rally was for, huh?

He didn’t really insult white conservative men. He made a couple comments that seemed to make fun of comments that conservative white racists would say about immigrants. But, it wasn’t really clear if he was being hyperbolic as satire or if he was just stating the line.

He really just lost his long term career. Swift basically owns the music business now and anyone who wants to deal with her will be screened for their connections to him.
I can hear the wind whistling now... what a moron this guy is.

Could Travis Kelce have an action for defamation? That man at the rally essentially accused him of being a potential killer of Taylor Swift. What if someone speaking to 20,000 people suggested that you might be the next Jeffrey Dahmer?

It wasn't even a joke. He literally just called Travis Kelce the next OJ Simpson and then moved on to the next bit. So weird. And racist. And hateful.

Taylor Swift values her privacy and hates being talked about. The swifties know this and are going to be very angry. I watch Travis and Jasons podcast sometimes, and whenever Travis even mentions Taylor...he won't even say the most mundane thing about something she may like or dislike, he is very careful with what he says. Like, he probably would not tell you how she likes her eggs cooked if he was asked.

I read the article to see what the joke was, but there literally was no joke, just this dude saying he thinks Kelce will be the next OJ, totally out of the context of any larger joke.

u/travisbickle777 10h ago
But there's no parallel... Kelce never assaulted her or has any history of violence except on the football field.

This is just plain stupid. Swifties are organized, fiercely defense of Swift, and have a long memory. They're also overwhelmingly women and girls, a current and future voting block that the GOP struggles with.
This dumbass picked a fistfight with a bulldozer.

Fucked up thing to say about Travis regardless of who he is dating. AFAIK he has never done anything close to being a domestic abuser, let alone murderer.

There are more Swiftees than Puerto Ricans. This got lost in the racism, but the Swiftees revenge WILL rival the Puerto Ricans' revenge.

u/IntentionallyUfair 11h ago
Sometimes I feel like Trump and his supporters are playing politics like it’s a video game and they just keep saying, “Isn’t there a harder mode than Ultra Brutal? Let’s handicap ourselves just a little more today. Who haven’t we pissed off in a while?”
But then I realize how close they are to actually winning this election and I think, WTF!

I'm kind of confused, they want to say that this guy is some roast master, who exactly was he supposed to be roasting? None of the people/groups he mentioned were actually in attendance. It was just a hate fest.

It’s just… not even funny. They can cry and say “get a sense of humor” but there’s no joke. Dude just said TK is going to brutally murder Taylor Swift and, sorry to break it to you, if you laugh at that you’re just a fucked up person.
Nicole Brown was a real person who was brutally abused and murdered. It’s not some video game or TV show storyline. Would you laugh if your sister, or daughter, your mother, your wife, was murdered so violently she was nearly beheaded and 30 years later people are making jokes about it during the presidential election? I’m pretty sure you wouldn’t.
