Branco is a political cartoon genius. He is shining this election season with the latest creation he calls, “Candy Roulette.”

”

But Wrigley, which owns the Skittles brand, was obviously not eager to be used as a symbol of immigration control. Some people were amused and some were outraged depending on how they feel about the issue in general

By that logic, you would take everyone's guns away. Because someone is gonna kill somebody at some point. But I guess that doesn't count. https://t.co/3BraX0Ew19 — John Legend (@johnlegend) September 20, 2016
