The self serving, lying, despicable politicians in Puerto Rico spent weeks bashing Trump while hiding aid from their citizens

They should all go to prison quickly for this unforgivable crime against citizens who desperately needed help

Puerto Rico mob finds unused disaster supplies

Politicians in Puerto Rico spent weeks bashing President Trump while hiding aid from their citizens.

An angry crowd in earthquake-rattled Puerto Rico stormed a warehouse Saturday after learning that it contained a stash of emergency supplies — that had been sitting untouched since Hurricane Maria slammed the island in 2017.

Word of the squandered supplies spread online Saturday after blogger Lorenzo Delgado posted a video on Facebook of locals breaking into the warehouse, which is shown to be holding cases of bottled water and other emergency supplies.

Locals are seen hauling cases out of the warehouse, and — in one image — distributing the supplies to a throng of people outside.

“This is outrageous,” Ponce Mayor Maria Melendez told reporters. “Everyone knows what us mayors went through after Hurricane Maria and to try and get help to our cities and how we’ve worked these weeks to provide basic supplies to people affected by earthquakes.”

“Those involved owe us an explanation,” she said.

The discovery prompted Gov. Wanda Vazquez to fire the island’s director of emergency management, Carlos Acevedo, and to order a full investigation into the matter.

“There are thousands of people who have made sacrifices to help those in the south, and it is unforgivable that resources were kept in the warehouse,” Vazquez said, noting that the supplies had been in the warehouse since Maria.

The governor has asked the Puerto Rican senate to install Jose Reyes, head of the island’s national guard, as the new commissioner of emergency management. Secretary of State Elmer Roman told Univision news Saturday that there may also be other warehouses on the island with unused stores of supplies.

He said officials hoped to wrap up the initial probe within 48 hours.

The problem with these articles is they don’t name the rats. Who owns or rents the warehouse? The local government or a private owner? Who knew but was silent? Nail them all.

It likely works this way:

Withhold basic needs
Local rablle gets roused and protests about how little is being done.
Local politician goes to gummint
Gummint extracts from warehouse
Locals are placated
Local politician is hailed as a “red tape buster”
State gummint has more compliant local politician.

Locals get bottled water
Gummint jobs are saved
Vote Democrat!

The 13 warehouses are being guarded, no one can get close to know what is in them.

Im surprised that the mayor of Ponce wasn’t aware of the warehouse and its contents.
