        This is disengenious at best. Initial death toll of 64 concerned the immediate deaths caused during the hurricane. To conflate deaths in the following 5 months with the immediate deaths, and portray difference as govt malfeasance in reporting is BS propaganda #NiceTryCBS

        Your petty insult would work better if it didn't have a glaring typo and nonsensical statement in it. I mean, "... take past the end of their feet"? That doesn't make any sense. I guess Trump really did hire the "best" people.

        Bullshit. Don't disrespect our dead. This doesn't have to do with politics, regardless of the damn party, the fact is both the local and federal government failed our ppl. It may not fit your narrative, but it's the true story of what our ppl lived & so many died as a result of

        There were 1833 deaths after Hurricane Katrina if any one else was wondering. The lack of an outcry about PR is an abomination and truly shameful.

        Wrong! The New Progressive Party is, which is the Republican Party in Puerto Rico. Do some research before making amateur statements like that.

        Most of it's leadership is. But calling the PNP the Republican party is absurd.

        It is NOT absurd to compare and equate the PNP to and with the GOP. The PNP aligns itself with Republican “values” and both support Statehood. Both are not anything like the Democratic Party or political position.

        I will not tolerate any idiocy on the subject from Puerto Rico by anyone who is either misinformed greatly, is closed minded or incapable of critical thinking.

        Then how about direct information from a native Puerto Rican? Sorry, but there are both Republicans and Democrats in the PNP party. The PPD are mostly Democrats, I believe. Current governor and others are Democrats. But nobody cares in PR bc those two parties aren't our reality.

        I have a theory as to why most newyoricans have that perception about PR politics. The first puerto ricans that moved to NYC were pro PPD(like almost everyone at the time) and at the time the opposition was the PR Republican Party(which had almost no support at all).

        Replying to @JuL427 @JadineRhine and

        That PR Republican party not only changed it's name but it also accepted Dem statehood supporters when it became the PNP. So many of these newyoricans have been told about PR politics by their grandparents and such which have these views that are NOT accurate at this time.
