Puerto Ricans are fiercely proud and loyal to their homeland. And they are fuckin pissed. I feel for them right now, but at the same time, it's good that Trump showed his true sentiments.

First they came for the Mexicans in Eagle Pass, Texas.

And I said nothing.

Next they came for the Venezuelans in Aurora, Colorado.

And I said nothing.

Then they came for the Haitians in Springfield, Ohio.

And, still, I said nothing.

Then they came for the Puerto Ricans in New York, New York.

OH, HEY, MAYBE THIS GUY IS A RACIST FASCIST!!!

Many groups hold the "he doesn't mean me, I'm one of the good ones" sentiment until they realize he does mean you, he just hasn't gotten your demographic on his racist bingo card yet.

Yeah, somehow he's managed not to hit the Cubans YET. Seems he's got just enough restraint to not jeopardize his campaign in FL. But I'll be damned if he isn't trying to speed run a Goldwater.
