“‘You’ve thrown our bud­get out of whack,’ he said. ‘We’ve spend a lot of mon­ey in Puer­to Rico.’”

The most un­com­fort­able part of his re­marks came when he be­gan to com­pare Puer­to Rico to Hur­ri­cane Ka­t­ri­na based on how many peo­ple had died, im­ply­ing what was hap­pen­ing in Puer­to Rico wasn’t a ‘real cat­a­stro­phe.’

“‘If you look at the – every death is a hor­ror, but if you look at a real cat­a­stro­phe like Ka­t­ri­na and you look at the tremen­dous hun­dreds and hun­dreds of peo­ple that died and what hap­pened here with a storm that was just to­tal­ly over bear­ing. No one has ever seen any­thing like that. What is your death count?’”

 

And

Holy shit, the hits just keep com­ing today.
