    FEMA head Brock Long dismisses San Juan mayor's complaints: 'Political noise'

    I love how the Trump Adm. has confronted the phony, FALN supporting, anti-American, lyingass mayor of San Juan from the start. She has not been to a SINGLE MEETING to coordinate relief to the people she claims to care so deeply about...typical leftist democrat.


    FEMA head Brock Long dismisses San Juan mayor's complaints: 'Political noise'



    FEMA Administrator Brock Long said on Sunday that as his agency responds to the crisis in Puerto Rico, it's also "filtered out" San Juan Mayor Carmen Yulín Cruz, adding: "We don't have time for the political noise."




    More than two weeks after Hurricane Maria lashed the island, killing 36 people, Cruz tweeted Sunday: "Increasingly painful to undestand the american people want to help and US Gov does not want to help. WE NEED WATER!" She later wrote, "Power collapses in San Juan hospital with 2 patients being transferred out. Have requested support from @FEMA_Brock NOTHING!"

    "We filtered out the mayor a long time ago," Long told ABC News' Martha Raddatz on "This Week" Sunday, after Raddatz mentioned the tweets. "We don't have time for the political noise. The bottom line is, is that we are making progress everyday in conjunction with the governor."

    Cruz and President Trump have traded shots in the weeks after the monster storm made landfall. Late last month, the mayor appeared on television in a black shirt with white letters that read, "HELP US, WE ARE DYING." Cruz argued that federal aid had been slow to reach Puerto Rico following Maria, which knocked out power to the entire island.

    Trump tweeted the following day: "Such poor leadership ability by the Mayor of San Juan, and others in Puerto Rico, who are not able to get their workers to help." He added that Cruz was "very complimentary only a few days ago," but "has now been told by the Democrats that you must be nasty to Trump."


    Rebuilding the island, he said, "is going to be a greater conversation for the Congress in conjunction with the governor."
    When hospitals have power failures, intensive care unit patients are being flown to the USNS Comfort, according to Long.
    "As far as the political noise, we filter that out, keeps our heads down and continue to make progress and push forward restoring essential functions for Puerto Rico," Long said in the interview.

    Political noise, indeed.....
    Difficult to believe her when she's standing in front of pallets of supplies while screaming,"You're killing us!" Drama queen....
    “Fathom the hypocrisy of a government that requires every citizen to prove they are insured…but not everyone must prove they are a citizen. And now, any of those who refuse, or are unable, to prove they are citizens will receive free insurance paid for by those who are forced to buy insurance because they are citizens.”

    I say it again: If Trump cured cancer, the left would scream that he was putting physicians out of work.

    Just like the Lousiana/NOLA dems did to Bush when their incompetence was the main cause of death with Katrina....Trump is a much harder target, as he TAKES NO CRAP from the Leftliars.

    I love it.

    Makes sense that the right wing Trump Brigade on this forum would know more than the folks who are actually there suffering.

    Makes sense to store about 20 gallons per person before a hurricane. I was in Irmas path 100 miles after landfall, guess what I did? ...
