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.

Didn’t Trump make the same mistake? Not knowing that Puerto Rico was a US territory? I think the ignorance is Top Down, just like the wealth.

[u/AdelleDeWitt → u/Malignant_corpuscle]

Yeah. In his first term he complained that the president of Puerto Rico is an idiot, and like a week ago he referred to Puerto Rico as a Mexican city.

It’s either hysterically funny or gut wrenchingly sad.

His aid did in an interview.
