Trump seeks to disavow comic's racist jokes at Madison Square Garden rally
Briefly

Donald Trump, during an interview with Sean Hannity, distanced himself from comedian Tony Hinchcliffe's offensive jokes made at a Trump rally, stating, 'I have no idea who he is.' Trump suggested that hosting comedians at events is a common practice, implying that it's not the party's fault for the remarks made by Hinchcliffe.
When asked if he wished Hinchcliffe hadn't performed at the rally, Trump acknowledged the controversy but suggested it shouldn't be a major issue. He expressed disapproval saying, 'I don't want anybody making nasty jokes or stupid jokes, and probably he shouldn't have been there, yeah.' This indicates a level of concern about public perception.
