WH official suggested San Juan mayor "too busy doing TV" to visit FEMA command center, help

From ABC's Katherine Faulders:




Asked a WH official if POTUS has plans to meet with the Mayor of San Juan Tuesday and got this response -->

Not sure. She has been invited to FEMA command center several times to see operations and be part of efforts but so far has refused to come, maybe too busy doing tv?

We could organize a "punch a Trump administration official" fundraiser.

These folks could use a good punching out, and we could raise big money at the same time!

I watched on the weather channel, who when she received sos messages from her community. Took boats, rescuers and personally went searching door to door for anyone who needed to be saved. The same lady when asked why she has participated in the search efforts replied, "these are my people". This was before Puerto Rico became a news story. She didn't just give commands, fly over or shake hands. She was helping to save lives. Fuck anyone who is now trying to tarnish her image to save face. I'm so done with these people.

tRump of course, but the Mayor certainly deserves some sort of recognition for her work.

Trump complains the folks in Puerto Rico want “everything done for them”—as he pushes a button in the Oval Office to order a Diet Coke.
