On Sunday night, Netflix aired the special "The Roast of Kevin Hart," which found the Pennsylvania comedian being mocked and ridiculed by other celebrities. Hart was the main target, but one of the jokes, written by comedian Madison Sinclair, targeted comedian Tony Hinchcliffe and First Lady Melania Trump simultaneously — and ended up being cut from the special.
The joke, according to Variety, read, "Tony is like Melania: The only thing relevant about him is that he opened for Trump once."
The Melania Trump/Hinchcliffe joke is generating a lot of comments on X, formerly Twitter.
Sports/entertainment writer Frank Torres tweeted, "Tony Hinchcliffe is an absolutely rotten human being. Beyond roasting rotten. @netflix needs to stop rewarding him."
Torres also said of Hinchcliffe, "He's the friend who gets drunk and curses out his girlfriend at the party. And then wants you to go over to her house and say sorry for him."
The joke is also getting heated responses from angry MAGA supporters on X.
Corey Cherry posted, "Whew the white man stirred up some soft ass piece of s–– liberals didn't he?? You making the same articles about the Kirk joke? No because you are fake woke losers."
Keshav Maheshwari commented, "Yeah the woke is not fully dead in Hollywood but in last legs certainly."
The America Man, who describes his goal as "saving America from leftists one moron at a time," tweeted, "Good thing they cut those jokes, holy cringe batman."
