Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) on Sunday expressed concern over the Trump administration's planned response to the devastation wrought by Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico, while acknowledging the commitment and hard work being done by federal first responders.
“We are on the verge of failing Puerto Rico," Blumenthal said during a press call after he returned from surveying the damage on the U.S. territory.
"My fear is Americans are failing other Americans," he continued, adding that “one of the major failings in the federal responsibility is the failure to plan."

“I’ve been enormously impressed with the dedication and diligence of the people with FEMA," Blumenthal said on the call.
