Luis Gutierrez: People of Puerto Rico Experiencing ‘Really Cruel, Inhumane Kind of Treatment’

RUSH EXCERPT:

REID: "Just over a month since hurricane MARIA made landfall in Puerto Rico, more than 4 in 5 homes have no power and almost 3 in 10 lack clean drinking water. Congressman, the administration has given themselves a 10 out of 10. You’re there on the ground. What grade would you give them?" 
GUTIERREZ: "Look, I just came from visiting communities that have been destroyed. I mean, really, joy, babies living in tents designed for going out maybe camping a couple of days, senior citizens without oxygen in their tank. I went out with the majority leader of the Puerto Rico Senate and I got to tell you something, it’s really cruel, it’s really cruel, inhumane kind of treatment. I met this gorgeous little caribbean princess, 13 years old. You know where she’s living? In a stable where horses were once attended to. That’s the kind of desperation. Remember, there are hundreds of thousands of people homeless, probably 700,000 who are homes Thor uninhabitable with no roofs, completely destroyed. They haven’t lefislands. They’re with neighbors or friends just barely surviving. Three and four families living in the same home."
