Today in "things I never thought I'd have Discuss Sectionto remind Americans ahead of the 2020 presidential election," we have this simple truth: Puerto Rico is absolutely part of the United States.
The indisputable fact has come up as a result of a speech Kimberly Guilfoyle delivered at the Republican National Convention on Monday night. The former Fox News host and current girlfriend of Don Jr.'s gave a ridiculously loud pre-recorded speech, during which she said she is a first-generation American. Guilfoyle's dad did emigrate from Ireland, but she explained that her mother is from Aguadilla, Puerto Rico.

As many people (including Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez) know, Puerto Rico is a U.S. territory, which means that Guilfoyle's mother isn'tactually an immigrant. Since one cannot immigrate to a country that one is already a citizen of....
On Tuesday morning, AOC addressed Guilfoyle's claims on Twitter, writing "The woman the GOP picked as their 'proud' Latina to tout 'immigrant experience' didn't seem to know that Puerto Rico is already part of the United States."

"It's quite on message, bc it reflects their belief that Latinos aren't real citizens, even when we are Native descendants," AOC continued.
After Guilfoyle explained her family history on Monday night, Twitter users were also quick to fact-check her claims.

Yet another instance of the Trump administration not checking their facts (or being fine with outright lying when it suits them). There's really no excuse for not knowing what states and territories make up the country you're running!
