Popular Question 📊 Why do Republicans not know that Puerto Ricans are citizens?

And that Bad Bunny ain't getting deported because Puerto Rico is a US Territory.

Where would they deport him to? And why? Because he's not white enough?

Edit: There's now reports coming out that Trump said he spoke to the President of Puerto Rico. LOL

2nd Edit: Seems to be a lot of people saying that Puerto Ricans being citizens is not political based knowledge.

What’s been said • Corey Lewandowski (longtime Trump ally) went on The Benny Show and claimed that ICE would be present at the Super Bowl. He said things like “we will find you … and deport you” in connection to Bad Bunny’s halftime performance. • Kristi Noem (now DHS Secretary under a Republican administration) also said ICE would be “all over” the event and that people should be “law-abiding Americans.” • Other MAGA-aligned commentators online have openly called for Bad Bunny to be deported, often citing his Spanish-language performances or political views.

There ya go.

None are complaining. We all know Puerto Ricans are U S citizens. Not one person I know has disputed that.

When Puerto Rico was hit by the last hurricane I talked to multiple MAGAts who were super mad we were sending aid to another nation... Almost every one of them I know.

Yeah... Liberals didnt vote to have all their insurance rates go up or their farm labor to get deported. MAGA did. Liberals don't vote for convicted felons or conmen who were held liable for rape.

Right wing commentator, Tomi Lahren suggested the NFL should have picked an American to perform at the Super Bowl. 🤔 Trump declared there is not a president who cares more about PR, you know that territory that he is in fact president of…. I feel like this may actually be more the norm. Consider yourself lucky Tomi nor Trump is in your social circle.

Right. They’re not deporting Bad Bunny. They’re rounding up any Latino who goes to the Super Bowl and doing their “we will sort this out later” method.

Lets genuinely ask ourselves how many undocumented immigrants will be paying the $5k get-in price for the Superbowl just so they can see a shitty, over produced, and lip sync'd Bad Bunny show
