And she is supposedly a Republican (American Born) but a member of the New Progressive party in PR. (Platform in part to become the 51st State)

Not to defend anyone, but the name of that party was in use before leftists started using the word “progressive”. The “progressive” part of the name “New Progressive Party” has nothing to do with leftist policies. A better translation is “For Progress” (”progresista” vs. “progresivo” in Spanish. This party was founded in 1972 by a stalwart Republican, former governor Luis A. Ferré. He named it so, 1, to attract moderate Democrats who could work with Republican policies, and 2, to create progress in the sense of economic progress. Today that party is still made up of both Republicans and Democrats, but currently dominated by the Democrat wing.
