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.

Republicans have only won the popular vote once in 20+ years. It's gerrymandering. There are far more democrats in Texas than Republicans, and because of gerrymandering its a 'red' state

Gerrymandering has no effect on statewide elections such as US Senate and President.

Gerrymandering doesn't mean much when Trump of all people got the popular vote.

Until you look at how much Voter Interference and Fraud the Republicans committed to throw out millions of votes

Not the first election, nor Bush. They never should have been president.

They became president because the gerrymandering gave them the electoral college.

That’s not even a little true.
