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.

At one point during his speech, he said: ‘Where are my proud Latinos at tonight? You guys see what I mean? [The border] is wide open, there’s so many of them, it’s absolutely incredible.’
