Netflix viewers have threatened to cancel their subscriptions after hearing a comedian who made a racist joke during a Trump rally has landed a deal. Tony Hinchcliffe sparked immense backlash for ‘jokes’ he made during an October rally at Madison Square Garden ahead of Donald Trump being elected as President.

Hinchcliffe’s set at Madison Square Garden in October drew sharp criticism after he described Puerto Rico as a “floating island of garbage.”

Netflix's deal with the comedian Tony Hinchcliffe isn't part of media's bending to Trump. It's been interested in controversial comedy for years.
