1. That fucking GOP rep can be censured too

If it were me, I'd censure the entire fucking Retrumplican caucus

[The Truth Is Here]

2. I'd arrange for expulsion

Every single Republican.

9. I agree. Showing their true colors aren't they? They are getting mad because they have found...

out that they've lost their power and are powerless in the things to come. And beware to them (the repugs)...they are ALL being watched, they are all being closely monitored, and they will pay for their excesses in the past...no more 'all about the donors', no more tax cuts, no more coddling those that would deny a decent living wage to others when they are doing so very well. No excuse ever can be provided in not increasing the minimum wage for what, 30 years!!! No excuses in providing at least a minimal amount of medical care to those who can't afford it.

We are a 'christian' nation, although I am believing this less and less, especially after I see the repugs on TV acting like they are, pathetic, non Christian, despicable human beings, proud of denying even the most basic needs of those in need (health, food, shelter, etc.).

17. We are NOT a christian nation

If we were, it would be legal to burn atheists such as myself at the stake. That is a dangerous idea to buy into.
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion" any confusion on that??

3. Even if he was from PR... PR is part of the US!

[backtoblue]

13. Exactly!

It's past time to give them their fair vote in our country!

4. "But we made a strongly-worded statement about Steve King!!!"

[bdamomma]

5. oh boy

his ass should be thrown out too. We have some sick racist jerks in the country. Damn who wants a "lily white country" not me.

Diversity is our best asset. Not a Russian asset.

6. The GOP is crawling with racists.

[RandySF]

7. Who did it?

[Blue_Tires]

8. But don't forget, we're not allowed to call the Repubs racist

lest they get offended...

[nykym]

10. If the Repug did this

on the House Floor then he should be censured for disparaging another member of the House.

[book_worm]

11. I hope they name this racist

[Glimmer of Hope]

12. Expel his ass.

[JHB]

14. Puerto Ricans have been US citizens since 1917.

Go back under your bridge, Jason.

15. I'd like to know the name of that GOP lawmaker.

Must be from an Atlantic state, if he/she assumes a person with a Hispanic name is from PR. In the Western states, the assumption is Mexico.

Of course, being a Deplorable, that lawmaker wouldn't know that Puerto Rico is part of the United States, and that people born there are eligible to run for President as "native-born" American citizens.

Morons abound!
