Social House floor erupts after GOP lawmaker shouts ‘Go back to Puerto Rico’

[ElKarlo]

Our Congress people are too old and unathletic.

We need A Level athletes in Congress.

We do. I'd even settle for Chanel sonnen to go in and talk smack and TD people. But I figure he'd get triangled after dominating a bill

Post op Jenner isn't A level anything.

"She's A level high class trim." - Bloodworth

Jenner isnt in middle school

Jenner isnt in middle school

All transgender persons do is show up at middle schools and read books and give striptease lessons

thats actually a better excuse than the one he used.

This looks like an escort? I've never met an escort, but I always imagined they would not look like that.

It looks like he's just having a normal conversation with someone.

You're right. She's too old for Menendez.

 

[HereticBD]

When did yelling out "go back to [insert shithole country]" become racist?

Well, since forever. "Go back to Africa!" for instance. It can be used in a racist way.

However, that was clearly not the intention here, and the Libbies desperately trying to spin it as such, are just pathetic.

Could you imagine if the case was reversed?

Some white GOP lawmakers (that would be almsost all of them, lol) with rural constituents come back from a retreat in... Oklahoma... and Maxine Waters yells, "Go back to Oklahoma!" at them.

Yeah, that would go over great, lol.

 

[Cake4Breakfast]

this is the "I like ice cream...why don't we tax the sun" guy right?

 

[Long Dark Blues]

I dunno, when I first read it I immediately made the connection to Dems rubbing elbows with lobbyists and Boricuan cuties.

But I can also see how it'd be blatantly-stupid racism.

So, ultimately, for me:

 

[Long Dark Blues]

Our Congress people are too old and unathletic.

We need A Level athletes in Congress.

Maybe I should run.

 

[panamaican]

Maybe I should run.

You have my vote.

 

[Pessimystic]

Of course the Republican congressman was referring to the Puerto Rico junket. It is silly to suggest otherwise. Do all brown people look alike to liberals?









How are any of these comments less offensive then denigrating Puerto Rico, Mexico, China, etc?

This is a valid point.
The retards that get upset when someone calls Haiti or El Salvador an ignorant backwards shit bole, have no problem at all with calling our own Southern states the same.
As usual, the fecal left is, well, full of shit.

All of a sudden this guy wants to evaluate evidence before forming an opinion. I guess there’s a first for everything.

 

[CauseImbetta]

Puerto Rico is part of the USA. So why can't he say that?

 

[Blowing Dixie]

Puerto Rico is part of the USA. So why can't he say that?

Because many people nowadays are snowflakes who might cry if they hear something that offends them.

I am not entirely sure why them whiney crybabies bawling is a bad thing though, but it could have something to do with global warming.

LOL

Go Back to Europe!

What I mean is that he was just on vacation in Moscow

 

[hillelslovak87]

Dude I don't get offended over either is the point. A lot of places are shitholes in this world and calling them such is perfectly acceptable. But you can't cry over one and claim outage while throwing snide comments over the other and not be a giant hypocrite.

People who bitch and moan about trifling things often insist they're not in fact doing so.....

 

[Higus]

Puerto Rico is part of the USA. So why can't he say that?

Imagine a Hawaiian person tells a white person to "Go back to Iowa". Would it be reasonable to assume that his comment was racially motivated?
