Thank you Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for putting Puerto Rico back in the

headlines during that Chris Hayes interview.

You made both the Con and Hogan Gidley expose their true selves - for them Puerto Rico is not part of the United States.
You do make them expose their true feelings

As the many claims that more than a few GOP politicians made, claims that Obama could not really know what being an American is, it is clear that many in the GOP cannot accept that non-whites are actually Americans.

AOC is once again making clear that racism is the foundation of the GOP, and has been since 1968.

No?

She might have just been defending her constituents, ergo: doing her job.

Good on her in any event.
