A 2013 video shows the mayor of San Juan, Puerto Rico, turning her back when asked to swear to uphold the Constitution.
On Saturday, President Donald Trump called out Carmen Yulín Cruz, the mayor, for her “poor leadership ability” in a tweet. The day prior, Cruz had been critical, saying, “If anybody out there is listening to us, we are dying, and you are killing us with the inefficiency.”
Cruz first became mayor of San Juan, the capital of Puerto Rico, in 2013. When taking the oath of office, Cruz delayed repeating the words that she would “uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States,” turning her back to the woman administering the oath for a long moment.

This is why the liberals love her.
She hates America.
“She is known for maligning and stoking sentiment against the United States, and people know that if it were up to her, Puerto Rico would not even be part of the United States. She has said on record that in her party, there is no room for people who believe in the permanent union of Puerto Rico and the United States,” Oliver-Méndez, director of Media Research Center Latino, added.
She would obviously be happier in Venezuela.
She had her own private Caracas to lord over until Hurricane Maria came along.
OK she’s a separstist. Which wouldn’t bother me at all except she not only happily takes the US’ money but then denigrates the assistance and all the while, obviously, not building up her city to be self-sufficient so they could BE separate.
Typical socialist moron.
Expel her commie a** from US terrority...exile this LIB nitwit.
And the people who elected her are being imported to turn Florida blue.
The internet is a bitch—nothing goes away.

Fu bitch. Time for Uncle Sugar to pull out.
There may be a military advantage to our keeping Puerto Rico. If so, we may have to exert more influence over the political and economic scene there.
“Great meeting with Governor Mapp of the USVI. He is very thankful for the great job done by FEMA and First Responders”

In a U.S. territory whose relationship with the mainland is usually the single most prominent political issue, Cruz backs independence but is a member of the Popular Democratic Party, which supports maintaining the territorial status quo.
She first grabbed headlines in 2012 when she ran against San Juan’s three-term incumbent mayor, cobbling together a campaign committee in just three days after her party’s original candidate dropped out. Despite being a virtual unknown for many, she cruised to a surprising win by securing the support of a coalition of left-leaning interests from the LGBTQ community to university students to financially powerful unions.
“Imagine what I’ll do when I’m the mayor of San Juan,” she told reporters in August 2012, three months before the vote.
Once in office Cruz launched a million-dollar urban renewal program, renovated public parks and plazas and unionized San Juan employees as promised during her campaign.
She also took heat for offering a job to Puerto Rican independence militant Oscar Lopez Rivera, whose prison sentence was commuted in January by then-President Barack Obama. Rivera was released from prison in May after serving 35 years for his involvement with a group that claimed more than 100 bombings in the 1970s and ‘80s that killed or maimed dozens on the U.S. mainland.
In public appearances Cruz has a penchant for hugging people and sometimes crying during interviews, prompting some to praise her sincerity while others call her overly dramatic.
