Democrats demonstrate their corrupt nature in Puerto Rico!

[D2D]

President Trump on Monday blasted Democrats for taking a junket to Puerto Rico during the shutdown.
                               
“I’ve been here all weekend. A lot of the Democrats were in Puerto Rico celebrating something, maybe they were celebrating the shutdown,” Mr. Trump told reporters at the White House.
                               
About 30 Democratic lawmakers spent the weekend in Puerto Rico for the Congressional Hispanic Caucus BOLD PAC.
                                          
At the retreat in San Juan, Democratic lawmakers, their families and a bunch of lobbyists attended briefings on Hurricane Maria recover efforts, spent time on the beach and attended a special performance of the Broadway show “Hamilton.”
                               
Mr. Trump has remained in Washington throughout the partial government shutdown, including canceling trips to his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida, for Christmas and New Year’s Eve.
                               
Negotiations to end the partial government shutdown were on hold Monday, as the partial shutdown extended into the 24th day.
                                                                                                                                             
It has become the longest in modern U.S. history.
                               
The president said he thought Democrats were wavering in their opposition to his demand for $5.7 billions for a border fence.
                                            
“The Republicans are rock solid. We have to be taking care of our border,” he said. “We have a priority. It is the safety of our nation.”

Despite a partial government shutdown with no end in sight, about 30 Democratic members of Congress traveled to Puerto Rico this weekend -- with their families and lobbyists -- for a winter retreat where they also planned to see a special performance of the hit Broadway show “Hamilton.”
Those attending the Congressional Hispanic Caucus BOLD PAC gathering in San Juan also planned to meet Saturday with Puerto Rican officials to discuss ongoing cleanup efforts from Hurricane Maria, according to a report.


“This year’s winter retreat promises to be our most widely attended yet with over 220 guests, including 39 Members of Congress and CHC BOLD PAC supporters expected to attend and participate!” a planning memo said.

The junket is taking place at a seaside resort where rooms run around $429 a night. The participants paid for the "Hamilton" tickets with their own funds, the Washington Examiner reported.
"Hamilton" creator Lin-Manuel Miranda began a two-week run of his hit play Friday in Puerto Rico to raise money for artists and cultural groups still struggling in wake of Hurricane Maria. Tickets for opening night ranged from $10 to $5,000, according to the Associated Press.
“I have never felt anything like that,” Miranda said of the crowd’s energy, adding that singing the song “Hurricane” was a challenge. “It was very hard to sing that here in Puerto Rico because you know better than I what it is to survive a hurricane. I feel like I’m going back to Maria a little bit every time I sing it.”
Around 109 lobbyists and corporate executives are named in a memo welcoming the guests, which include some from prominent Washington firms, R.J. Reynolds, Facebook, Comcast, Amazon, PhRMA, Microsoft, Intel, Verizon, and unions like the National Education Association.
A spokesman for the BOLD PAC -- part of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus -- would not tell the Examiner which members of Congress would be attending. But U.S. Sen. Bob Menendez, D-N.J., was spotted on the beach Saturday, according to a FOX News producer.

That is an average of 3 lobbyists for every Democrat congressman!

So they paid for Hamilton tickets, they paid for nothing else!

The trip — organized by Bold PAC, which serves as the Congressional Hispanic Caucus’s fundraising arm — was intended to educate lawmakers about the ongoing post-Hurricane Maria recovery effort, and featured a roundtable discussion between lawmakers and local officials.

Oh no! The horror!

Trump threw paper towel rolls and then threatened to withdraw FEMA support.

Good!

Why waste money?

Shouldn't we make sure the Democrats running Puerto Rico will manage the money we give them well before giving them more!
