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.

“Yeah, those pointy shoes can really hurt....................”
I think they were called ‘Roach Stompers’. Supposedly you could kill a roach when it gets in between corners.
You'd be surprised how much that describes many of our Federal agencies.
They are trying to ding Trump for holding funds because he doesn’t trust that it will be used properly.
This proves that he is right to be concerned.
Especially since the warehouse was 200 feet away from his office.
Sounds like the current American Congress.
ping!
We supply them with trucks and training. They should be able to transport those supplies easy.
I agree with Charlie! The corrupt Democrats in Puerto Rico need to go to prison!
Agreed. They wouldn’t let easy cash sit around untouched. Note that several pols were arrested several weeks ago for corruption .... probably started people poking around.
PR ... America’s version of Mexico.
LOL
Mexico’s vision of America..................
Freedom! Freedom!
Independence Now! Yanquis Out!
It was done to get Trump. Yes, the politicians would happily let their people suffer just so they could get rid of Trump.
They were successful in attaching Bush’s name to “Katrina.” They tried with Trump, and will keep trying over and over again.
Bastards.
They would probably get even more money from us as ‘Foreign Aid’...................
They’re ALL DEMOCRATS! NOTHING will happen to them!
And some people wonder why Puerto Rican statehood has been and should continue to be rejected. Thanks Red Badger.
You and me both.
So where is that blabber-mouth b*tch Mayor Carmen Yulín Cruz during all this? She’s moving ahead with the San Sebastian Street Festival despite aftershocks.
