Republican Calls San Juan Mayor Carmen Yulín Cruz "A Political Hack" On CNN Sunday Morning News
San Juan Mayor Carmen Yulín Cruz made waves on Friday, speaking to media outlets including CNN and MSNBC about the need for more support from the Trump administration in dealing with the devastation caused by Hurricane Maria.
Cruz's comments were prompted by those made by Elaine Duke, acting Homeland Security Secretary, on Thursday. In an astonishing lack of empathy for the scene millions of Americans watched all week -- including frequent images of Mayor Cruz walking through sewage-laden waters with her bullhorn calling for her people.
Duke iterated her satisfaction with the recovery efforts in Puerto Rico, explaining that it was “really a good news story in terms of our ability to reach people and the limited number of deaths.”
