Puerto Rico's emergency services director fired after warehouse discovered with supplies from Hurricane Maria

Catch up on the developing stories making headlines.Gov. Wanda Vazquez dismissed the island's director of emergency management after a warehouse was discovered with supplies dating back to Hurricane Maria.

In this Sept. 22, 2017, file photo, an aerial view shows the flooded neighborhood of Juana Matos in the aftermath of Hurricane Maria in Catano, Puerto Rico. The governor gave officials 48 hours to investigate why the supplies never were delivered to those who needed them. The warehouse and its contents were discovered when the building was inspected after an earthquake hit Puerto Rico last week, Acevedo said.Water, food, diapers, baby formula, cots and tarps had been stored there, according to his statement.

Let me guess....this person was a Trump fan?

They used to blame trump for this. Turns out they were too dumb or corrupt to distribute supplies

Should we pull your coverage when our POTUS spoke about this? Should we review your coverage of the Democrats vacation there and find out IF the Democrats leadership knew about this back in February and OUR media didn't report this to our country?

Cool doing your job getting rid of bad apples

If only some organization could have investigated and exposed this as it was happening. A lot of people could have been helped. It’s a shame nothing like that exists.

Why isn’t AOC shooting her mouth off now!🤔

Some one should go to jail over that but they were must likely a Democrat and will just go on to become a Mayor of Puerto.

🤬

So Trump was right, but MSM was too busy attacking him instead of searching for the truth. This is an indictment of the biased mainstream media failures as much as the corrupt politicians of P.R. They both suck.

Trump called it corrupt and all the corrupt mainstream media shills said it was Trump that was corrupt! America is watching the news media and expecting honesty and integrity or stop watching!!!! FakeNews mainstream DoYourJob Trump2020

Everyone involved including the governor should go to prison for this

💥 💥 💥 TRUMP WAS RIGHT! All politics! Grossly

Wow and they want to blame Trump .. PR gov are CROOKS

This is terrible Another example of the citizens of PR being underserved by an official of the government Corruption, incompetence, or just not caring for the people is inexcusable The people of PR deserve better

Shocked!

The people of Puerto Rico should remove the governor immediately. It's time to apologize to fema and realDonaldTrump

Que cojones

Just shows you the level of corruption in Puerto Rico. All the while HouseDemocrats and SenateDems crying Trump wasn’t doing enough. What a lie the Democrats portray on the American people. Glad the Governor fired EMA Director.

Exactly what Donald Trump said was happening when pundits were blaming Trump for not doing enough

Ono

Yeah, but Trump got all the blame. Has anyone in the media or Democrat Party apologized to him for all the false allegations about not supporting Puerto Rico after the hurricane?

But it was trumps fault

But, but I thought it was Trumps fault! Denying PR citizens necessities to own Trump was so brave! They all need jail time!

Face it it’s corrupt, not a penny more.... they already are set up with 90 billion

More people need to be fired if she's just finding out about this now!

Typical mismanagement out of PR leadership. Vazquez should resign too.

Wait. I thought Puerto Rico's problems were all because the president was orange.

Yeah most of us already knew this....it isn’t breaking news

And Trump was blamed for not helping. Inept leadership on the island. That’s clear.

Wanda Vázquez knew about that situation! Oh hell yes she knew! They fired the Director of Emergency Management as a PR stunt to cover her image!

If the media was doing their job they would be telling the American people that Pres. Trump was correct when he said Puerto Rico needs to look in a mirror and take ownership! Americans can’t continue to give without accountability from the recipient! This applies everywhere!

Corruption! Corruption ! Corruption!

So Trump was right all along.... Trump 2020!

President Trump was right , yet again. Apologies not accepted

AOC RepAOC SenSanders BernieSanders ewarren SenWarren IlhanMN Ilhan RashidaTlaib ever think this is why no more $$ was sent to PuertoRicoPUR PuertoRicoEarthquake PuertoRicoIslandOfTheives CleanUpYourHouse PuertoRicoLandOfCorruption PuertoRico HurricaneMaria

Falta de seriedad y compromiso con los habitantes de la isla, por eso es que los esfuerzos del gobierno se pierden, la negligencia es obvia.

They should leave that place it’s nothing but heartache, theirs other places to see beaches and water!!

This is just so sad! Dismissed just say it, this person was fired and should be ashamed of themselves!

So what you’re saying is...realDonaldTrump was right?

Blamed it on Trump, when all along we knew it was the corrupt PR politicians. More egg on the face of MSM.

But orange man bad? Right? Oh ....

Isn’t this exactly what the trump admin said was happening to ferderal aid Mismanagement at the “state” level

President Trump was correct again. Poor fake news😢

Lol that’s exactly what Trump said

There MUST be some way the crooked media can blame this on Trump.

Oh look exactly what President Trump stated. But ABC won't tell you that.

all this money who goes to warehouses ....remember how they were shouting they wanted more things...just sad

The people of Puerto Rico need to rise up and take their land back because they are being ran into the ground by a bunch of Democrats

Huh? Corruption and incompetence......just like Trump was saying.

P.R. is becoming a money pit.

Japan, Philippines, Taiwan and Indonesia are islands.

And they want to blame realDonaldTrump

The mayor of san Juan also made sure anyone that voted for Trump on 2016 or voted for Obama in 2008, were denied supplies because they both defeated her heroin, Hillary

This same thing has been previously reported about supplies wasted, lost, stolen. Corruption is rampant n yet PR wants to use President Trump as their scapegoat for PR ineptitude.

Wait, didn't you blame realDonaldTrump & not their mismanagement?

They said money was found, We knew the governor of San Juan hid supplies and water from the people, Never replaced the power grid or helped the poor, There still under FBI investigation

And all Puerto Rico ever does is ask for more money

Doesn't appear to be any corruption in Puerto Rico does there?

I hope that just dismissed from his job is not the only thing thats going to happen to the thief. He needs to find out how the criminal justice system works.

That is unconscionable and criminal. My God...

FIRE THAT DIRECTOR!! Do you see? All lies to make us look bad!🥺🙄🙋‍♀️🇺🇸☹️

What are his supporters saying about his treatment of this great people? Two Hurricanes and now an Earthquake.Why aren’t Guardsman over there to help.This is to know the true childishness and mean spirited Of Trump. The smallness of this man shows He Must be Removed from Office.

Way to go. Clean House. If not for you a guarantee they are helping in failure. Choose your team and keep working. We know the hatred and mean spirit and lack of humanity Trump have. We are for you. We stand with our fellow citizens in Puerto Rico. No excuses. No more delays.

Dismissed? Should have been arrested.

What was the emergency services director doing with all those supplies?

Wow

pcoogov wow... Same here in the Phil....only difference is no one is being fired... For all the faults of Govt officials here, promotion or transfer is the answer...

I guess that’s President Trump’s fault too. The island is chock-full of corruption and incompetence.

What? That's wicked.

🤦🏻‍♂️ This is beyond incompetence, it’s criminal... PuertoRicoEarthquakes PuertoRicoHurricane

THIS HAS BE GOING ON FOR DECADES LOSERS! NOW THE MEDIA GIVES A DAM ABOUT US BECAUSE TRUMPS IN OFFICE GO FYS

Canadian doctors criticize overcrowding in emergency rooms, say patients were treated in supply closetsThree doctors at a Nova Scotia hospital have spoken out about untenable conditions there, including emergency room overcrowding that is so bad patients are being treated in supply closets. Still better than the US if you're under insured or poor and they won't even treat you or just lie on your test results so they don't have to do anything. There needs to be more public education about what constitutes a medical emergency worthy of an ER visit. Have a nurse triage at the door, with a walk-in clinic attached to ER. I’ve seen so many ambulatory visitors to ER, just because dr’s offices closed after work.
