The House floor erupted Thursday after Congress adjourned for the week when an unidentified Republican congressman yelled a controversial and potentially racially charged remark across the aisle as Democratic Rep. Tony Cárdenas was at the podium.

“Go back to Puerto Rico!” the lawmaker shouted, punctuating a stream of Republican whooping and hollering at the Democratic majority for holding a voice vote — instead of the normal roll call vote — to pass a continuing resolution that would reopen nine Cabinet departments through Feb. 28.

Texas Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee and other Democrats in the chamber shot out of their seats demanding to know who shouted the comment.

How do they know it was a Republican, or a Congressman, or a man? How presumptuous.

Sheila Jackson Lee, the stupid carpet bagger from NY, disgraces herself and Texas daily. That’s not racist. That’s reality.

They know it wasn’t a DhimmicRAT because the outburst wasn’t appended with “mother***3r”.

Sheila Jackass refused to apologize for using the race card and demanding a dialogue on race for a thug driveby murder that did not involve white people.

WRONG. Puerto Rico is a territory of the United States. It is not a nation.

From this point forward, everything will be racists. Democrats have learned that the use of this term freezes Republicans and self hating Whites in place.

Not even that. It’s just an unincorporated territory.
