Rick Scott is in an absolute panic about MAGA's Puerto Rico comments!!! [View all]

He's dissolving on twitter: The joke bombed for a reason. It's not funny and it's not true. Puerto Ricans are amazing people and amazing Americans. I've been to the island many times. It's a beautiful place. Everyone should visit! I will always do whatever I can to help any Puerto Rican in Florida or on the island."

Then why did your leader allow such comments at his rally? And why doesn't he denounce them? MAGA on MAGA hysterics. You hate to see it.

Edited to add that Jennifer Lopez, who is of Puerto Rican heritage, just endorsed Kamala!
