The pearl clutchers on FR, went ape crap about the comedian's remark, but it brought out AOC from Kamala's campaign exile.

My sister-in-law is Puerto Rican, and looks like she could be AOC's mother.

Definitely not an accident. Puerto Rico became a cesspool through corruption and mismanagement.

What does she think of the song America from West Side Story? Here are the lyrics..

ROSALIA
Puerto Rico,
You lovely island . . .
Island of tropical breezes.
Always the pineapples growing,
Always the coffee blossoms blowing . . .

ANITA
Puerto Rico . . .
You ugly island . . .
Island of tropic diseases.
Always the hurricanes blowing,
Always the population growing . . .
And the money owing,
And the babies crying,
And the bullets flying.
I like the island Manhattan.
Smoke on your pipe and put that in!

OTHERS
I like to be in America!
O.K. by me in America!
Ev’rything free in America
For a small fee in America!

ROSALIA
I like the city of San Juan.

ANITA
I know a boat you can get on.

ROSALIA
Hundreds of flowers in full bloom.

ANITA
Hundreds of people in each room!

ALL
Automobile in America,
Chromium steel in America,
Wire-spoke wheel in America,
Very big deal in America!

ROSALIA
I’ll drive a Buick through San Juan.

ANITA
If there’s a road you can drive on.

ROSALIA
I’ll give my cousins a free ride.

ANITA
How you get all of them inside?

ALL
Immigrant goes to America,
Many hellos in America;
Nobody knows in America
Puerto Rico’s in America!

ROSALIA
I’ll bring a T.V. to San Juan.

ANITA
If there a current to turn on!

ROSALIA
I’ll give them new washing machine.

ANITA
What have they got there to keep clean?

ALL
I like the shores of America!
Comfort is yours in America!
Knobs on the doors in America,
Wall-to-wall floors in America!

ROSALIA
When I will go back to San Juan.

ANITA
When you will shut up and get gone?

ROSALIA
Everyone there will give big cheer!

ANITA
Everyone there will have moved here!

"'None of that was an accident': AOC reacts to Puerto Rico joke made at Trump rally"

Will what the comedian said lead to an assassination attempt on Puerto Rico?

Thanks for lyrics. West Side Story is my all-time favorite broadway show.
We knew a man from Puerto Rico decades ago. Brilliant guy, an early software engineer who got my son interested in being a techie.

On MSDNC a commentator was adamant that what was important about the MSG rally isn’t what actually happened or what people saw in person or on TV - what was important what what the media said about the rally afterwards. Hence the Nazi Nazi Nazi refrain, with racist racist racist for a chorus. The front page of the Daily News screamed “Racist Rally”.

It was beyond pearl clutching. It was moronic panic. Such low IQs.

They act like anyone watches the lame news. All an echo chamber of psycho therapy.
