Vice President Mike Pence praises relief efforts for Puerto Rico during visit to Central Florida

This was BEFORE HE WENT to Puerto Rico....to the trump administration PR means public relations


As criticism mounts of the federal response to Hurricane Maria, Vice President Mike Pence visited Central Florida on Thursday and promised the administration is doing all it can to help hurricane-ravaged Puerto Rico.

“We will tirelessly reach every road and every community to bring aid to every Puerto Rican in need, and we will not stop until the job is done,” Pence told a crowd of about 300 at Iglesia de Dios in Kissimmee, which he called “the heart of the Puerto Rican community in Florida.”

Pence’s visit to Central Florida, the first stop on a trip that will take him to Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, comes after President Donald Trump was criticized for his tweets and comments about Puerto Rico in the wake of Maria.

The vice president toured the disaster-relief center at Orlando International Airport before heading to Iglesia de Dios, which has been a donation center since Maria hit Puerto Rico on Sept. 20.

By the time they get their lazy racist asses there the death toll will be in the thousands. Fugg, dump and the penseter. The only time they move quickly is when there is a vote for tax cuts for the rich and voting for cuts for every other man woman and child's safety nets.
