How many people suffered because the Puerto Rican Electric Power Authority was hoarding materials?

I wish I could say this surprises me.

I doubt we will hear anything about it on the MSM, because then there would be some evidence that Trump didn’t fail PR, as is being broadcast of late.

Who’s going to be asking the Bern just how this works exactly.

$1 says Carmen “Yellin’” Cruz (that’s what I call her) is corrupt to the core.

FEDS should have taken over that entire sh*thole of an island the second the local gubmint was caught hoarding relief supplies after the hurricane. I was part of the FEMA effort during that time and from my end I saw what was going down there; then saw it sitting on the dock going to waste.

I’d really like to see Trump shove this down the throat of that tubby dips**t mayor of San Juan next time she opens her yap.

It wasn’t “hoarding”.

It was theft. PR is corrupt to the core.

Puerto Rico is a third world sh*thole. It is a burden to the USA. We have no need for keeping any ties or hold on this island.

As to the Puero Ricans themselves, do people come any lazier or stupider? They live right in the middle of hurricane alley. Each and EVERY year hurricanes hit or brush by Puerto Rico. It's hard to imagine a location any more susceptible to being affected by hurricanes.

Hurricanes have been doing this for tens of thousands of years. And a hurricane hits and we find the Puerto Ricans surprised and unprepared.

Looks like the company (PREPA) filed for bankruptcy several months before Hurricane Maria hit Puerto Rico.

We did not take these people to raise. I am for declaring them an independent nation and getting out of there for good.

The democrat mayor that has been attacking Trump was no doubt in on this.

So how much money have the “officials” made selling off items meant for the rebuild?

From the company executive point of view, getting two warehouses full of goodies from the US government is better than getting just one.

Cut them loose. Seems PR is got it under control. They don’t need us anymore.

Katrina PT. II

Whatever doesn’t work or needs rebuilding will be “Hurricane Damage” for the next 10 years or more.

Probably at least as many as suffered because of decades of mismanagement, corruption, and theft by the same-said utility company...

The facts do support Trump, but the website should have dated the article to make those facts clearer. This story was from January 2018 and was also covered, at that time, in a article in dailywire.com:
Armed Federal Agents Seize 'Massive Store' Of Rebuilding Materials Kept From Puerto Rico's Hurricane Victims

Puerto Rico electricity provider was "hoarding" critical items needed to restore electricity to the island.

Not that it wasn't worthy of the linked website

It was all over the Austin, TX evening news how horrible Trump was with PR. Of course, the uber libs didn’t bother showing the pictures of the bazillion water bottles not dispersed to the people.
