Puerto Rico GOP chair threatens to withhold Trump support
Puerto Rico GOP chair threatens to withhold Trump support
Angel Cintrón called on Trump to personally apologize for an offensive comment about Puerto Rico made by a speaker at his Madison Square Garden rally.
Just fucking do it, or do you agree with him that your island is a floating pile of trash?
These idiots are so terrified that if Trump takes power, their heads will be on the chopping block for standing up to him... Grow a pair already and do what's right for the country! No more of this "Stop or I'll say stop again" bullshit.
Yeah... plenty of Republicans already did that. They got voted out or kicked out.
There are a few tough holdouts like Murkowski (Alaskan Senator), but the mass extinction already happened.
Trump Puerto Ricans do agree the place is a trash island. They just think it's the fault of the 'others'. They thinkTrump sees the problems and will fix things for the 'good ones' like themselves.
They do not see that they are part of Trumps 'bad ones'
To wit:
These idiots are so terrified that if Trump takes power
It seems that many people are more motivated by fear and power than by what is morally correct.
“Threatens to” = he won’t
Do it you coward.
The thing is, if he wins they are in trouble anyway, do they not remember the paper towels he tossed at them in a time of need last time? He has surrounded himself with nothing but fascists and racists this time around, I would be surprised if he didn't hold aid for the next hurricane until they can "pay their fair share".
Oh no a leopard ate your face!
Honestly, fuck you, you coward.
Coward.
Two newspapers walked it back based on the possibility because they know political retributions and military use will happen. And this guy hesitates. They all are, out of fear. It’s already begun.
It's more than two. As of this morning, Gannett is banning all of their publications from making an endorsement.
So we’re already done with democracy. Authoritarianism IS now happening.
Because that what it means when the press does.
Protip: It's not a threat if you never have any intention of following through with it.
Dude should go a step further and push for PR statehood.
Talking out her ass.
Pleeeease
Popcorn intensifies
Not a single Trump voter changed their minds. The Trump Puerto Ricans agree with this. They just think it's the 'others' fault.
This may even get them TO vote since someone sees the 'problems' they live with. This is how EVERY group that votes Trump against their own interest feel.
spoiler
They 100% don't know they are included with the 'problem'
VOTE
I can attest to you being half right based on my two Puerto Rican coworkers, both Trumpers.
One rationalized his choice by saying two things (paraphrasing his words):
-
Puerto Ricans have the same trash sentiment about Dominicans and aren't shy about it. So since they dish it out, they should be able to take it.
-
He decided Puerto Rico is trash because the government is corrupt and pockets all the US federal funding.
It didn't bother him that Tony Hinchcliffe, or Trump's campaign at large has no place saying these things.
The other coworker has changed his mind and is NOT ok with the comments. It may be too late since he probably already voted; I'm not going to ask him.
-
Oh I’m sure that will show em. You get em champ.

Information for Newsweek:
Wiki: reliable - There is consensus that articles from Newsweek pre-2013 are generally reliable for news covered during that time. In 2011, Newsweek was a reputable magazine with only some minor problems while it was owned by The Newsweek Daily Beast Company (which also owned The Daily Beast). Blogs under Newsweek, including The Gaggle, should be handled with the WP:NEWSBLOG policy. See also: Newsweek (2013–present).
Wiki: mixed - Unlike articles before 2013, Newsweek articles since 2013 are not generally reliable. From 2013 to 2018, Newsweek was owned and operated by IBT Media, the parent company of International Business Times. IBT Media introduced a number of bad practices to the once reputable magazine and mainly focused on clickbait headlines over quality journalism. Its current relationship with IBT Media is unclear, and Newsweek's quality has not returned to its status prior to the 2013 purchase. Many editors have noted that there are several exceptions to this standard, so consensus is to evaluate Newsweek content on a case-by-case basis. In addition, as of April 2024, Newsweek has disclosed that they make use of AI assistance to write articles. See also: Newsweek (pre-2013).
