NY City Council Speaker Slams Trump on Puerto Rico: ‘It’s Bigoted, Racist’

‘That really is the reason we’re getting such a lackluster response’

RUSH EXCERPT:
MARK-VIVERITO: "Obviously I'm following this extremely closely, but a lot of the help getting to people in the mountains and remote areas is coming from volunteers. Somebody tweeted the other day he sold his Harley so he can get to Puerto Rico and help the people out. We have veterans issuing every day reports they're getting supplies to. We're being lumped into, and we're all people of color, the idea that trump has of people of color in this country, that somehow we're a drain, we all don't have contributions to make, that we're all being set aside. And we fall under that narrative, and that presumption he has of us. And again it's bigoted, racist. That really is the reason we're getting such a lackluster response."
