Swifties Are Not Happy With Tony Hinchcliffe Calling Travis Kelce the ‘Next O.J. Simpson’ at Trump Rally

Swifties are speaking out against comedian Tony Hinchcliffe after he gave a controversial speech at a Donald Trump rally at Madison Square Garden over the weekend.

In addition to a series of racist remarks about Puerto Rico, the Latin community, Black people, Jewish people, Palestinians and more, Hinchcliffe’s speech also included several derogatory statements about music stars. “I don’t know about you, but I think that Travis Kelce might be the next O.J. Simpson,” he said in reference to the Super Bowl-winning boyfriend of Taylor Swift, whom Trump called out on X last month after the superstar endorsed Kamala Harris for president.

Simpson was a successful professional football player who was charged in June 1994 for murdering his ex-wife Nicole Brown and her friend Ron Goldman, after the two were found stabbed to death in Los Angeles. The now-infamous eight-month murder trial led to his acquittal in October 1995. Three years later, in 1998, he was found liable for the murders in a civil suit from the victims’ families.

Following Hinchcliffe’s speech, Swift’s fans flooded social media with criticism of the remark and the distasteful implication that Kelce might murder the “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart” singer. “While you’re here, can you please explain in detail why calling Travis Kelce the ‘next OJ’ is funny?” one fan asked Hinchcliffe in response to his defense of his set, noting that people have “no sense of humor.”

“How utterly offensive,” another wrote, while a third expressed, “That racist comedian’s jokes were so disgustingly racist and vile that the #swifties haven’t caught wind about the fact that he made a joke about Travis Kelce being the next OJ Simpson, implying he will k*ll Taylor Swift, and everyone laughed.”
