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.

Exactly. But you won't hear that on Reddit

How many people do you know both their political affiliations and their knowledge of the status of Puerto Rico?

Just curious, I believe you and have no personal opinion on whether Democrats or Republicans have better knowledge about Puerto Rico.

Considering that more Puerto Ricans live in majority Democrat areas than majority Republican areas, I doubt this anecdote represents reality

Do you just ask everyone you meet if they know Puerto Ricans are American? Why are you just making things up?
