Lindsey Graham yesterday: "If [Democrats] get the House, the Senate and the White House, then God help us all. Puerto Rico will be a state."

"God help us" that something that's happened 37 times before might happen to...PR.🤔

Pray tell, what exactly is different here, Senator?
Puerto Rico's population is larger than 20 currently existing states. https://twitter.com/bizwiz1980/status/1304596586433900544

While we're on the subject, it's important to remember:

They key point is not that Puerto Rico should *be* a state.

It's that Puerto Ricans should get to *decide* whether to become a state.

But somehow I don't think that👆🏾was Senator Graham's point...

(as evidenced by the fact that he lumped DC in with his prayer for God to "help us" against, you know, the expansion of the franchise)
Aaaaaaaand Google Chrome is trying to tell me that "Ricans" isn't a word. #SMDH
