And here we go with the RINO Republicans aiding communist Democrats again. Florida RINOs Rick Scott and Little Marco Rubio want to make Puerto Rico a state eventually, basically handing the communist Democrats two Senate seats and an undetermined amount of House seats. Oh and if the electoral college is still around in the future, the Democrats will also get the “new state’s” electoral college votes.
Little Marco Rubio doesn’t surprise me one bit. Little Marco is another story.
Come on man!
Sen. Rick Scott believes Puerto Rico will achieve statehood — and the Florida Republican rejects arguments by some in his party that the Caribbean island territory would elect Democrats to Congress in perpetuity.

“I believe Puerto Rico eventually will be a state,” Scott told reporters Thursday morning during a joint interview with fellow Florida Republican Sen. Marco Rubio. Scott, chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, travels to Puerto Rico often and assiduously courted island transplants in Florida in his three statewide campaigns, for governor in 2010 and 2014 and the Senate in 2018. Democrats in Congress are pushing for statehood, and most Republicans are opposed.“They’ve got a lot of problems to fix first,” Scott said, telegraphing his threshold for supporting statehood for Puerto Rico. “They’ve got significant financial problems they’ve got to get fixed, so I don’t think it’s going to happen overnight. But I think someday it’s going to happen.”
Rubio added that assumptions that the Democratic Party would benefit from Puerto Rico becoming a state are flat-out wrong.
“It betrays a fundamental lack of understanding about politics inside of Puerto Rico on the island and those who come to the mainland,” said Florida’s senior senator, who is up for reelection in 2022. “A lot of how people vote in the future depends on what you stand for and do in the future.”
