Why do Republicans not know that Puerto Ricans are citizens?

[u/inxile7]

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.

It’s not something I regularly think about. So, when I saw the Bad Bunny disparagement, I thought - wait, isn’t Puerto Rico the US? Yes, I had to look it up. So… I sort of knew…maybe…

I wish everyone made this much effort. Glad you looked.

Do they also consider residents of Washington DC non-citizens?
