AOC: ‘Over 3,000 Puerto Ricans Died Due to Trump’s Intentional Neglect of the Island’ After Hurricane Maria

EXCERPT:

OCASIO-CORTEZ: "You know, under the Trump administration, over 3,000 Puerto Ricans died due to Donald Trump's intentional neglect of the island after one of the worst natural disasters and hurricanes in American history and the history of the entire Western Hemisphere. People in Puerto Rico were left without power for up to a year, over a year. So there's really nothing that's an accident about what was said last night. It is an authentic depiction of how Donald Trump believes and what he thinks about Puerto Rico. He even talked about selling Puerto Rico and brought up the idea of selling Puerto Rico when he was president of the United States. This is what these people believe, and it's not a joke."
