Puerto Rico, Mayor "I am begging anyone that can hear us to save us from dying" - NeoGAF

What the fudge are we doing.https://www.theguardian.com/world/20...fort-good-news

The mayor of San Juan lashed out at Trump administration on Friday, decrying its relief effort in the wake of hurricanes Jose and Maria and saying if it doesn’t solve the logistics “what we we are going to see is something close to a genocide”.

 

In her conversation with reporters in San Juan on Friday afternoon, Cruz gestured to two large binders filled with paper and said: “Fema asks for documentation, I think we’ve given them enough documentation. They had the gall this morning … of asking me: ‘What are your priorities, mayor?’
 “Well, where have you been? And I have been very respectful of the Fema employees. I have been patient but we have no time for patience anymore.

 

“They were up the task in Africa when Ebola came over. They were up to the task in Haiti (after the earthquake of 2010). As they should be. Because when it comes to saving lives we are all part of one community of shared values.“I will do what I never thought I was going to do: I am begging. I am begging anyone that can hear us to save us from dying. If anybody out there is listening to us, we are dying. And you are killing us with the inefficiency and bureaucracy.”Continuing to cry, Cruz said: “I am done being polite, and I am done being politically correct. I am mad as hell because my people’s lives are at stake …I’m asking members of the press to send a mayday call. We are dying here. If we don’t solve the logistics, we are going to see something close to a genocide.”

Trump slams San Juan mayor's "poor leadership", PR "wants everything done for them" - NeoGAF

*edit - PBS posted a helpful article with a number of different ways to help Puerto Rico:http://www.pbs.org/newshour/rundown/...s-puerto-rico/ Thanks to GrapeApes for the link. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I felt this deserved its own thread because HOLY fudge this guy has managed to find a new low. Read from the bottom-up: And of course, he can't finish a tweet-tantrum without complaining about how the #FAKENEWS is out to get him and aren't reporting on what a great job he's doing: Meanwhile this idiot is golfing at his New Jersey resort this weekend.
