https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2019/1 ... ongressmanA Republican Congressman shouted at Rep. Tony Cárdenas (D-CA) to “Go back to Puerto Rico!” Thursday while Cárdenas was on the House floor.
Initially, and in typical GOP fashion, when Rep. Cárdenas demanded to know who shouted it, the classless GOP reps wouldn’t fess up.
”There was about 50 mostly male Republicans staring at me, and no one would admit that they said it. I asked several times but no one owned up to the fact that they said it.”
Rep. Cárdenas, who, by the way, has Mexican rather than Puerto Rican heritage, wouldn’t let the matter drop. Eventually, the culprit came forward. Rep. Jason T. Smith (R-Mo.) finally admitted to shouting it—several hours later.

"Go back to Puerto Rico!"
A Trump supporter yells 'Go back to Puerto Rico!' at Dem rep. Turns out it was a GOP congressman.
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Calling that a "vacation" or "partying" is a gross misrepresentation.Spock wrote:

That's true. Why then, did you leave out the other side of the story and the context in which it may have been said?Bob Juch wrote:Neither you, nor I, nor Occam know what was in his mind.Spock wrote:I would have thought that as the self-designated Bored newshound-you would have realized that many congressional Democrats have been vacationing in Puerto Rico during the shutdown.Bob Juch wrote:A Trump supporter yells 'Go back to Puerto Rico!' at Dem rep.

Option 1: All GOP representatives are racist pigs.Bob Juch wrote:What's the other side of the story?Estonut wrote:That's true.

Option 2: The dems went to Puerto Rico during the shutdown they are all so concerned about for 'work' (look up Bob Menendez's photo) and the GOP guy got fed up and told them to go back.
BJ, of course, would pick option 1.
