Wanda Vázquez is absolutely unqualified to hold a position of power. Her COVID lockdown orders were more draconian than anything that even Whitmer dreamt up, and some had no plausible connection to stopping the spread of the virus, such as a 7:00 p.m. curfew (later moved to 10:00 p.m., and *still being enforced*), shutting down grocery stores on Sundays (which wasn’t lifted until a couple of months ago), and not permitting the sale of alcohol at restaurants after 7:00 p.m. (also not lifted until a month or two ago). And not only has she been completely incompetent in running the government (she couldn’t even mail out the PPP checks without messing it up), she has expanded the benefits for government employees over and over again, undoing the common-sense labor reforms of prior governors and even sending “bonus checks” to government workers because of the pandemic *when government workers in Puerto Rico never stopped receiving a paycheck despite not having to go to work or even having to work from home*.
Wanda Vázquez claims to be a Republican because she’s a political ally of Republican Senate President Thomas Rivera-Schatz, but I would wager that she has no idea for what the Republican Party stands. I couldn’t imagine ever voting for Pedro Pierluisi in an NPP primary, and always had avoided doing so (one year he ran unopposed and I wrote in someone), but with “Titi Wandi” (she got stuck with that moniker, which means “Little Aunt Wanda,” due to her nanny-stateism and busybodyness) as the alternative I did so this year without hesitation.
