I'm sorry but that joke was funny. Yes, I am fully aware of the colonial legacy of the US in PR and I don't think any politician should be saying or endorsing it. It was wholly inappropriate for the venue and people involved.
But it was totally in the vein of David Spade's old Hollywood Minute and if it was said in a comedy club nobody would care
I only wish someone would have made the joke about Israel instead
But Democrats told me Trump is such a giant threat to democracy that we should all just show up and vote for them without hesitation after they spent three years doing nothing about his crimes
