Puerto Rico is a nation not a race.
************
It is a territory of the United States, not a separate nation. Its inhabitants are American citizens.

Does PR get a vote?
***********
Not in Congress, nor any Federal election. They send delegates to conventions.

They name all the rats that jumped up to object, BUT they dont name the alledged republican that supposedly hollers an insult.
Odd, the reporter could identify all the rats objecting but not one word about the alledged republican.
My read this charge is baseless, made up and invented by the rats. You know, like nearly 100% of hate crimes are committed by the left.

Cardenas’ family hails from Mexico. He is not Puerto Rican. The reference was to the Democrat junket to Puerto Rico.

Not too long ago, just to mention “Chicago” was somehow racist.

Maybe a Congresscritter will come forward and admit he did it, butt will say he identified as a Democrat during the utterance.

Rep. Jason T. Smith (R-Mo.) later admitted making the statement. However, Smiths communications director, Joey Brown, said in an email that the congressman was speaking to all the Democrats who were down vacationing in Puerto Rico last weekend during the shutdown, not any individual.This is from the Washington Post.

Tell this idiot. He wrote it. I dont know how stupid $h!t like this gets any traction at all. The stupidest, most outlandish crap is the only thing anyone listens to and then immediately accepts it as the conventional wisdom of the moment. Sick and tired of it.

It’s going to be the lobbyists to tell the Dems to end the shutdown. They should go back to Puerto Rico.

[...] when an unidentified Republican congressman yelled a controversial and potentially racially charged remark [...]Really?!
Telling someone to "Go back to West Virginia!" or "Go back to Wyoming!" is "controversial," and "potentially racially charged?!" (Both of those two states have a White majority.)
Then why should yelling "Go back to Puerto Rico!" be considered to be any different?

Sheila Jackson Lee has her own problems right now. Congressperson Lee fired a staffer who sued her because she claimed she was raped by an employee at the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation.

#8. They named part of the Capital after Sheila Jackson Lee. It’s called “The Rotunda”.
The same for a dance, “The Waddle”.
