San Juan Mayor: Whoever Deletes Trump’s Twitter Should Be Nominated for Nobel Peace Prize
MELVIN: “The President is also coming under intense criticism for his tweet about hurricane relief efforts in Puerto Rico, saying that federal emergency crews cannot stay there forever. NBC’s Gabe Gutierrez is in San Juan with more on that. Gabe, good morning.”
GUTIERREZ: “Craig, good morning. Today, congressional delegation, including House Speaker Paul Ryan, will visit Puerto Rico. This more than three weeks after Hurricane Maria battered this region. This island is still at a virtual standstill. More than 80 percent of the island remains without power, and critics say the President’s words are adding insult to injury.”

GUTIERREZ (voice-over): “This morning, in hurricane-ravaged Puerto Rico, there’s growing anger.”
CRUZ: “I think it’s conduct unbecoming of a leader of the free world.”
GUTIERREZ (voice-over): “San Juan’s mayor furious.”
CRUZ: “The President uses Twitter to disperse hate. So, whoever deletes that accounts should be nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.”
