Why aren't today's demonstrations on Capitol Hill about the conditions in Puerto Rico
receiving coverage on television. It's six months since the hurricane hit the island.

I shouldn't need this, but:
Very good question! It's like it never happened
2. Most of 'em don't even speak American.
"Its official languages are Spanish and English, though Spanish predominates."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puerto_Rico
3. They're an unincorporated territory of the United States.
is THAT?
4. Did I mention that they're varying shades of BROWN?
Well, they are.
5. And then there's this:
"Puerto Ricans are by law natural-born citizens of the United States and may move freely between the island and the mainland.[25] As it is not a state, Puerto Rico does not have a vote in the United States Congress, which governs the territory with full jurisdiction under the Puerto Rico Federal Relations Act of 1950.
However, Puerto Rico does have one non-voting member of the House called a Resident Commissioner. As a U.S. territory, American citizens residing in Puerto Rico are disenfranchised at the national level and do not vote for president and vice president of the United States."
So...FUCK 'EM, THEY CAN'T VOTE.
That's it folks.
Next Question?
