“The messages between Rossello and his top aides, published by the Primera Hora newspaper, threaten to further tarnish a government that’s been battered by investigations and the collapse into a record-setting bankruptcy two years ago that’s left it fighting with investors over its cash.

In one exchange, Rossello refers to the former speaker of the New York City Council, Melissa Mark-Viverito, a political ally of San Juan mayor Carmen Yulín Cruz, a chief Rossello rival, as a “whore.” In another, the governor wrote “Dear Oversight Board – Go F-— yourself,” referring to the federal panel he has clashed with over the broad financial power it wields over the U.S. territory.

At a press conference Thursday evening, Rossello said he will resist calls for his resignation in the wake of the indictments, saying he was “ashamed” and “outraged” by the alleged misconduct. He also apologized for his texts.

“Women are legitimately offended and there must be many apologies,” he said.
