Puerto Ricans also move. Plenty in swing states + places with competitive down-ballot races. Republicans are already trying to back track on this, they think it hurts them

Peurto Ricans by state

  • Pennsylvania: 450k
  • North Carolina: 100k
  • Wisconsin: 65k
  • Michigan: 50k
  • Florida: 1.1 million
  • New York: 1 million

EDIT: also worth mentioning that he also said other racists remarks too

“These Latinos, they love making babies, too. Just know that they do,” Hinchcliffe said, setting up his joke: “There’s no pulling out. They don’t do that. They come inside, just like they did to our country.”

Hinchcliffe also told a joke about one of his Black “buddies” and how they “carved watermelons” together.

He's just saying the quiet part out loud, anyone with half a brain knows Republicans deplore black and brown people. It's their white bread and butter.
