San Juan mayor accuses Trump of ‘genocide’ after hurricane
Washington Times ^ | 10/12/17 | Stephen Dinan

The House overcame a conservative rebellion Thursday to pass a new round of disaster relief, saying the $36.5 billion is needed to replenish funds that are quickly depleting in the wake of hurricanes that have battered Texas, Florida, the U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico.

The overwhelming 353-69 vote came even as President Trump suggested federal emergency workers cannot remain in Puerto Rico “forever” — and Carmen Yulin Cruz, the mayor of San Juan, Puerto Rico, accused Mr. Trump of “genocide” for what she said was an antipathy toward her island territory.

“I ask every American that has love, and not hate in their hearts, to stand with Puerto Rico and let this President know we WILL NOT BE LEFT TO DIE,” the mayor said in a statement she sent to Rep. Luis V. Gutierrez, Illinois Democrat, and asked him to publicize on Capitol Hill.

“I ask the United Nations, UNICEF and the world to stand with the people of Puerto Rico and stop the genocide that will result from the lack of appropriate action of a President that just does not get it because he has been incapable of looking in our eyes and seeing the pride that burns fiercely in our hearts and souls,” the mayor continued.

No ones paying attention to her because she’s on an island in every sense of the word. No one else is complaining or joining her.

Genocide.

Yeah, that’s proportionate.

Besides your suggestion for a trump-up charge that is in itself sickening and underhanded, on what basis would there be for her jailing? On what basis would you expect honorable Americans to support your false-arrest scheme?

we are not going to rebuild every part of PR. People sitting around expecting a shiny brand new country handed to them on a silver platter are going to be waiting a long, long time. PRcans need to put the elbow grease forth to help their neighbors. Maybe they could learn a lesson from the USVirginIslands:

“There were few complaints. Kenneth E. Mapp, the governor of the U.S. Virgin Islands, said the federal government had hurricane response efforts “down to a science.”
“There is no country that responds to disasters like the United States of America,” Mapp said, adding that the island is making progress in its recovery and he expects schools to reopen Tuesday.”

The See BS Evening “News” tonight mentioned Trump saying that FEMA can’t stay in Puerto Rico forever. They made it sound like President Trump was a terrible person for wanting to pull out of Puerto Rico eventually.

No mention, of course, about the Puerto Rican political parties who are refusing to deliver aid to members of the public who don’t support their party.

It was Eric Cantor’s vote for statehood for Puerto Rico that got me determined to get him out of office.
