Puerto Rico residents outraged after discovering unused aid from Hurricane Maria

Puerto Rico's secretary of state, Elmer Román, told reporters that Acevedo had not told him about the contents of the warehouse.

Delgado later told reporters that he had received a tip about the warehouse, but gave no specifics on when.“This is outrageous,” she said. “Everyone knows what us mayors went through after Hurricane Maria to try and get help to our cities and how we’ve worked these weeks to provide basic supplies to people affected by earthquakes. Those involved owe us an explanation.

This is the rampant corruption that is everyday on the island of Puerto Rico

did they all get arrested by the feds afterward?

Let the Truth be known, realDonaldTrump has been RIGHT all along!! Where is the MSM apology to our President and Millions of Americans? MSM is the EnemyOfThePeople

So Trump was right 🤔

Hmmm and democrats are screaming that we need to send more aid to them? When they still have emergency aid they never handed out? Nope no more aid.

I took a minute and look back in the last three years of NBC reporting on this story. Journalism has truly died. RIP MSM

I think the national guard or fema or someone else followed up with “oh yeah there’s like 7 more warehouses like that”

Why keep in in a warehouse when they are in needed it?

So, will the media and dems apologize to President Trump since they blamed him for this?

OH are these the supplies that NBC and other MSM said, Trump never sent supplies, he held back on them

I thought this was Trump’s doing. Damn. Who can we blame now? Better not be a democrat. They are all about humanity and doing the right thing. So I’ve been told

Who can blame them?

So that means trump was right about them being dirty politicians?

So where is an apology from Elizabeth Warren and the other bitter democrats doing the blame game on President Trump

OrangeManBad

This looks really bad for the Dems.. Who else has the connections and power needed to pull off something like this? and who else would have a reason to do so?

Anyone surprised?

Trump is right about aid.

They need to apologize to Trump too.

Unbelievable!

we dont needa nuh nuh, the feelin is crown, brrrr savage stuh like this, oh nuh nuh, shoulda seen the nuh,, ,, yuh-yuh take it back,, gone left yuh

The person(s) responsible should be strung up on the biggest tree within the sight line of that warehouse 😡

NBC. How could Something so Terrible Happen. Please investigate. Sincerely MS Gary

A warehouse ? A 4 football field big warehouse.... And we know it's more. TRUMP GAVE THE AID ! APOLOGIZE .

Fxxxxx realDonaldTrump

POTUS uou always surprise me. You win!!!

Just like the warehouses of supplies brought to New Orleans after Katrina. It shouldn’t be this difficult to distribute supplies

Unfortunately examples like this just plays in2 trump’s charges of local corruption. currentgovernormustpressofficial4otherhiddencachesofsupplies

Local Puerto Rican public officials have been notoriously corrupt for years.

The sign said 'water' in English?

Elenainspires Hey how about you and all of the MSM outlets abcnews CBS MSNBC cnnbrk apologize to realDonaldTrump for continuously bashing him about not sending aid to Puerto Rico!! There’s your proof!! I certainly pray people are WakingUp DeceitfulDems

pr should not get another dime of money or relief untill they fix there corrupt gov

Why were these supplies hidden?

Those people cant do anything right except make babies

Very irresponsible headline. They didn’t broke in because of the goods, they did to show publicly government’s corruption. Every food item (even canned goods) was expired. They have good use to the rest. Now gov. is pressing charges, for taking what was originally meant for them.

Trump sent the supplies...Puerto Rico's corrupt governor apparently hid them instead of distributing them.

GOOD FOR THEM.

Trump has turned his back on the people in Puerto Rico!

That’s why as much as I would love to donate.. I don’t do it because I know the gov never do shit, they keep the money and aupplies for themselves 😡 If I was there, I would just go and donate stuff by myself.

...Governor Wanda Vazquez should do more than simply fire anyone. The Governor of Puerto Rico must begin a criminal investigation as to why the aid was stored in the warehouse. This whole episode warrants a full in depth criminal investigation!

GOOD 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Their mayor is incompetent.

Can you imagine hating realDonaldTrump so much that you would deny aid to your constituents when they need it most?

Government sucks no matter where it is.

DNC corruption at it's best - just follow the money flow of the contracts for the warehouses Wow

What will it take for you people to realize Trump was right, yet again.

I bet realDonaldTrump won't be calling this one 'fake news'

How did the Gov not know it was there? How did the people find out it was there?

So in a roundabout way you are admitting that POTUS was right about how corrupt the government is in PuertoRico ? About time

Trumps fault.....I’m sure! MAGA2020Landslide

Corruption in Puerto Rico. Corruption in Ukraine. What a waste of our tax dollars

Typical communist corruption... we have those creatures here as well.

Good for them to break in. I am so sorry they had to suffer. Their local government is so corrupt. Disgusting. Wishing all the best to the good people of Puerto Rico.

which of trumps boys owned that warehouse

Where are the humanitarian Dems when you need them? Oh, busy with “impeachment”.

The efficiency of Puerto Rico government?

Ummm, you somehow forgot to blame Trump for this...someone's slipping.

There’s an orange man bad story lurking here somewhere... give it a couple of hours.

3 days ago finally—

The corruption in Puerto Rico continues as the people continue to suffer.

Trump was right but I'm sure there will be no apologies from the dems or media.

No way! So Trump was right and the piece of shit Mayor was wrong? I am sure the media will apologize.

Wait weren't they just blasting Trump for not sending aid. Seems like the aid was sent and people inside Puerto Rico didn't do anything with it.

The hell is wrong with you?

But ya......TheDemocrats and leftist want to blame Trump when he was the one to call out politicians in PuertoRico for being corrupt. PuertoRicowarehouse PuertoRicoEarthquake

Trump was right. The leaders of Puerto Rico had time to make ‘Nasty’ shirts and do countless interviews while HIDING the federal aid sent to help the people. Playing politics with human lives... Are we surprised? Not at all.

Puerto Rico needs to get their Independence.

This is absolutely bs to do this to people who were suffering! They need to find out who did it and charge them!

I blame FEMA AND Trump. Trump is the President of Puerto Rico.

Don't drink that water! Sitting in heat too long!

And yet they pretended our president was lying. Trump was telling the truth the whole time.

The officials were stealing from the victims

Let me revise: Aid recipients find and collect aid they are entitled to. Black and brown people are just looters to you during a crisis.

Is the teflon Donald still holding up funds that were approved by Congress for Puerto Rico ? Who's to blame for having a warehouse with much needed emergency supplies for the people of Puerto Rico ? Obviously someone knew about it & where did the supplies come from ?

Thanks for reporting the truth

Tell us why they were hidden.. 🤔😁

Well well well looky here 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Bad reporting.

What’s more shocking is this article came from NBC News.

bxxstwxxd How could Trump do this

Don't forget this....

Trump rightfully claimed that corruption by Dem PR politicians was at the heart of the post hurricane supply problems. Dems are historically corrupt and incompetent. Pathetic indeed.

And they call our President realDonaldTrump corrupt and racist when he has done more for the people of Puerto Rico than anyone else.

This is how America citizens of Spanish heritage have to get emergency assistance from this administration.

What was the motivation to deprive the residents and store the supplies in a warehouse? What kind of inhuman people are in charge of aid distribution? Why the aid suppliers just supply and don’t follow up to see if the aid reached the people who are suffering?

Our Prayers were with you 🙏🙏🙏 🙏 all the time God is good all the time God is good all the time 🙏❣️😇

That's not at all what happened. This is why media is hated by the left and right

Actual story: a group of activists and people from the earthquake survivor camps decided not to wait another week for the negligent govt and took those emergency supplies to facilitate help to 20k+ people that are living in tents and camps in southern towns of PuertoRico

Yes, how dare those brown people try to survive

1. They didn't break in. Fix your headline. 2. This aid was supposed to go to them anway, right? How do you steal something that is supposed to aid you in survival? 3. If white people did this y'all would be calling them good samaritans and heroes.

Expired water can make them sick. The chemicals in the bottles leach into the water after its expired. But maybe they're desperate and don't know about the health risks. :(

Who was taking care of those supplies and didn't distribute them? It's absolutely necessary to know who has been the jerk!!! Need to acknowledge resposibilities.

Broke in? It was intended for them

Making people suffer/die to own the cons.

“Government officials” keeping it for their own families.

I would absolutely love to see the “news” organizations actually do their job rather than fulfill their preconceived narratives. It’s truly necessary for the good of the country.

Trump was right again.

Supplies supposedly in the warehouse since Hurricane Maria in Sept 2017 - criminal & inhumane

NYGovCuomo has been railing against Trump and the response to the hurricane. He Goes down there in the NYS taxpayers dime...hey Cuomo...realDonaldTrump was right. They’re corrupt as hell. PuertoRicowarehouse TrumpWasRight Trump2020Landslide

Check other warehouses too

Democrats! They did the same thing in New Orleans after Katrina!

LORD PLEASE HELP THESE THY PEOPLE

Discovery of unused disaster supplies angers Puerto RicoPeople discovered a warehouse filled with water, cots and other unused emergency supplies, then set off a social media uproar when they broke in to retrieve goods. She & the other officials who say they didn’t know about the supplies are lying. I would respectfully suggest we federalize the response and release ltgrusselhonore tactics to break the rules. This is unacceptable that every obstruction to aid distribution has not long ago been 'resolved'. I guess President Trump was correct after all? But you won’t see or hear that on any partisan hack news source!
