Clinton: Puerto Rico is 'most tragic' example of Trump only serving his base

Michele Jawando, one of the hosts of “Thinking Cap,” a podcast by the Center for American Progress, asked Clinton on the podcast Monday about how Trump’s response to the hurricane showed his “neglect of communities of color.”
“I think we’ve seen it for months now,” Clinton replied. “And I think Puerto Rico is the latest and most tragic example of having a president who is only the president for people who agree with him.”
“There’s not any real attempt to reach out beyond that base that he’s cultivated,” she added.
Clinton said she was “gobsmacked” by Trump’s tweets attacking San Juan mayor Carmen Yulín Cruz, who Trump criticized for her “poor leadership ability” during the response to the Category 4 storm.
Cruz has become the public face of the hurricane recovery and made an emotional plea for more assistance from the Trump administration one day before his critical tweets.
The former secretary of State also noted the lag in sending Navy help to Puerto Rico after the storm, referring to her own tweet demanding Trump and Defense Secretary James Mattis send a major hospital ship to the U.S. territory.
“This is the grossest kind of indifference and incompetence and we are losing lives,” Clinton said. “It’s beyond wrong.”
Clinton made the comments one day before Trump’s trip to Puerto Rico, during which he spoke with local officials and residents about the recovery from the hurricane.

Muslim Migrant REFUSES To Let Cops Check His Bag, Gets BRUTAL Wake Up Call On American Law!

Image
What happened to the good ol’ days? When the immigrants were coming to America to seize new opportunities and better chances to live and they were grateful and happy to be accepted as one of our owns. They used to comprehend with Americans, accepting our laws, culture and way of living. But  unfortunately these days are now over. Now we have Muslim immigrants that are arriving on our land just to make a mess. All they want is to enforce their own laws and take over the existing ones. Good example for this is a recent Muslim immigrant who thought that he can disobey the the law-enforcement and get away with it. Hesham El-Melingy, the founder of Islamic Civic Association located on Staten Island was stopped for a bag check while he was entering the Staten Island Ferry. He could’ve just give his baggage for a check and continue his travel, but he’d rather make a scene. He claimed that his religion was the reason that he was asked for checking. He was quickly arres...

Deep State Rats Go Into Hiding After Trump Blows Them Away With ‘Secret Sting Operation’

Image
President Donald Trump knew all along about the conspiracy that went behind his back. Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, James Comey, and Loretta Lynch headed a group of “puppets”who worked for them within the FBI and DOJ to try to destroy  him. But Trump has had enough of their games, so he put them silent with his  “secret sting operation.” Rep. Jim Jordan has shared an information that could only come from a “secret sting operation” that President  Trump helped to maintain. Although most Americans have heard of the Robert Mueller investigation, many of them are not aware of another investigation that’s going on by the   DOJ’s Inspector General Michael Horowitz. As a President, Trump has the right to ask the DOJ to stop or start an investigation. So now, when he found out about the rats such as Obama, Hillary, Lynch and Comey, he’s coming for them with the help of  DOJ Inspector General Horowitz. The Conservative Treehouse  explains the s...

Bill O’Reilly Just Pulled Back the Curtain & Exposed Frederica Wilson for the Lying Fraud She Is

Image
Frederica Wilson has danced into the media camera lights hoping to embarrass President Trump but instead she has revealed herself as the selfish and shameless piece of scum she really is. Wilson has politicized the funeral of a slain special forces soldier killed in Niger and Bill O’Reilly has called the incident a pre-planned stunt. That O’Reilly slammed Wilson and her antics. “The thing that disturbs me is Congresswoman Wilson. They were given a 24-hour day. The family of the fallen Army Sgt. [La David] Johnson, who was a Green Beret, was given 24-hour notice that President Trump would call.” “They gave that information to Congresswoman Wilson, who is an anti-Trump hater and has been from the jump. She knew the call was coming in, she was in the car when President Trump reached the widow, Myeshia Johnson, 24 years old. Then, she goes out on CNN and says, ‘The president insulted Mrs. Johnson, made her cry. This looks to me to be a set up. It really does.” The astroturf ...
