Hurricane's destroy islands, but ideological is worse

Puerto Rico is under attack by left wing groups that could be worse than the hurricane itself:

I can assure you everything this gentleman in the video states is true. There is an attempt to make hurricane Maria a hurricane Katrina for Trump.

-Once the storm passed the airport was completely down. No tower. Military took control.
-My office alone charted in an excess of 20 aircraft with relief supplies We utilized MD-11, Hercules, 727 and 747. We still continue with this operation. There are other outfits also sending charters. Basically 10-15 a day. No night time ops.
-Several barge loads of supplies have reached the ports and are sitting.

Issues: local drivers are at home sorting out their lives or looking to get top dollar to run their trucks. There is a lack of fuel for these trucks. Even if the drivers would run the supplies and there is plenty of fuel the roads/bridges are gone or in dire need of repair.

Understand that PR infrastructure is very old and left in disrepair. Monies to upgrade the infrastructure has never been spent. The electrical generating plants are antiquated and unrepairable. In short, you are about to see America rebuild PR.

Concerning Mayor Cruz, she stands in front of the cameras complaining response has been slow. Yet, behind her are pallets upon pallets of water.

Granted Trump is a loon....Cruz stating that nothing is getting done or response is slow is not only incorrect, it is slap in the face of 10,000 plus working around the clock to get supplies to PR. Of the many mayors in PR, one flips and goes off the deep end blaming an easy target that many will join the attack gleefully. Those gleeful ones are currently in their easy chairs watching from the comfort of their homes not doing a damn thing to help.

Well put AVG.

The best source of info would be from the EMA's of the respective areas/governments, not the political figures put in charge, especially in todays world.

Yes, we should keep politicians out of politics.
