See, Republicans can get away with this because the people in Puerto Rico, despite being American, can’t vote in Federal elections unless they move to the mainland (unlike Hawaiians).

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

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.
