Bullshit.
They didn't book him by accident. They booked him for one and only one reason - so that he'd say things that they expected would appeal to Trump's supporters.
And that's exactly what he did.
Didn't he throw paper towels at the Puerto Ricans asking for help after their island was devastated? I'm pretty sure his thoughts are in line with this comedian.
Guaranteed they are.
Even if he wasn't a racist fuckwad on his own, he's of a generation of white New Yorkers for whom being racist against Puerto Ricans was sort of a universal minimum.
