“I’m curious, how do you spin ignoring and neglecting the largest mass death of people on American soil in decades?' the progressive representative asked.
Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez lit into President Donald Trump and his counselor Kellyanne Conway on Sunday over the president’s reaction to the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Puerto Rico, which is still recovering from Hurricane Maria more than 18 months after the storm devastated the island.
“On Easter I was away from tech visiting my grandmother in Puerto Rico, which continues to suffer from the White House’s incompetent disaster response,” the representative explained. “Are you trying to imply that I am less Christian? What was the point of you bringing this up on national TV?” “‘Corrupt’ is a good one, too,” she added in a follow-up tweet. “I’m curious, how do you spin ignoring and neglecting the largest mass death of people on American soil in decades,” she asked, tagging Conway.
A study by the Puerto Rico Department of Education and the Medical University of South Carolina surveyed nearly 100,000 young public school students, shedding further light on the lasting impact of ongoing food shortages, damaged homes and loved ones leaving the island.
