DC: FEMA administrator Brock Long defended a series of tweets from President Trump blasting San Juan’s mayor for criticizing the relief efforts following Hurricane Maria.
In an interview on CNN, Long suggested that Carmen Yulin Cruz, the mayor of Puerto Rico’s capital city, has failed to connect with FEMA command center set up on the island to help with the relief effort.
“The problem that we have with the mayor unfortunately is that unity of command is ultimately what’s needed to be successful in this response,” Long told CNN’s Fredricka Whitfield.
“What we need is for the mayor, the good mayor, to make her way to the joint field office and get plugged into what’s going on and be successful,” he continued, adding that, “I think that’s the bottom line on that tweet.”
Earlier in the day, Trump blasted Cruz over what he as criticism over his response to the Category 4 hurricane, which hit Puerto Rico on Sept. 20. The storm destroyed much of Puerto Rico’s power grid and has left at least two dozen people dead. Many residents are without safe drinking water and fuel.
Cruz has become a more prominent critic of the Trump administration’s relief effort in recent days, appearing frequently on TV to call for additional government resources.
Trump responded early Saturday with a series of tweets accusing Cruz of using the crisis for political purposes. He also suggested that Puerto Rico, a U.S. territory, was not pulling its weight in the relief effort. MORE
She sounds more like an Obama appointed Ambassador , than a Mayor !
We don’t have to wait for a Zombie Apocalypse. It’s already here. The amount of “friends” I have on social media crying about how Trump is ignoring PR and not doing anything to help is just mind boggling. One friend, who posted that video of the mayor crying for help while standing in front of pallets of water and food, I asked why she was elected Mayor? Is she not in charge? She’s crying for aid and there is a ton of aid right behind her? Showed links to her ducking FEMA meetings to cry to the Press with her made up T-shirts crying for help, links to show the Truckers union refusing to help because of how the Governor screwed them over and the link to the PR police officer who called a US radio station begging for help since the Gove and Mayor are corrupt.
Now reading those links with news should turn somebody’s head and say WTF is going on down there and why is this not being reported properly?
The response I get? You have your political views and I have mine and we are not going to debate this. Didn’t even bother to read the articles. CNN spoke, they followed without question.
Zombie Apocalypse is already here.
where’s the Clinton hit squad when you need them?
Seems mayor cruz was expecting Trump to send a bunch of redneck Texans with the supplies to show the little brown people how its done.
When Geraldo Rivera starts standing up for Trump, you know they’ve really overextended themselves on criticizing him for what’s going on there.
WRITE THE NARRATIVE THAT YOU WANT
then do everything you can to fit that narrative no matter the logic.
There’s a pic of her standing in front of cases of goods all the while she’s blasting Trump. Trump is right, start doing for yourselves Puerto Rico. Quit being lazy asses. The welfare train has stopped, get off your asses and start helping yourself and your community. I’m sick of your whining. Not one penny will I give to the effort since I’m already staring at the 10,000 containers sitting there waiting for you to do something.
One can only speculate on what job she’d be given in a Hillary administration. Probably FEMA chief.
@RightWinger: Time for you to get some new friends. Surround yourself with smart people. Time to defriend some of your facebook buddies.
PR doesn’t want statehood, they have no resources and they get closer to being a 3rd world commie shithole every day. Cut ’em loose.
It would appear that the Democraps are willing, indeed are anxious, to let American Citizens die in order to pin a Katrina on Trump!
@Goldenfoxx – No worries, I have plenty of friends that are Patriots, but the social media purge is coming. 🙂
The left and media have a disaster pre-planned in advance for everyday of Trump’s administration.

The truckers union bosses will not allow the truckers to move the supply’s off the docks. This does not fit the left’s narrative therefor you will not see it reported by the MSM or talked about by the nitwits in Hollywood.
Oh, boohoo, woe is me. Trump delivered bottled water, then didn’t twist off the cap for me! The water may as well still be on the mainland , it’s totally inaccessible. Boohoo. Can’t you see how racist he is?
