Romney: Put aside controversies, prioritize Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands

Former GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney on Monday joined the chorus of voices calling on lawmakers to prioritize hurricane relief efforts in Puerto Rico and U.S. Virgin Islands before a humanitarian crisis unfolds.

Romney made the plea in a tweet to "put aside controversies" and "prioritize rescue" efforts in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands after Hurricane Maria tore through the Caribbean last week.

He said former Puerto Rican Governor Luis Fortuño warned him that the American territory is on the "brink of a humanitarian disaster."
