Not the first time, and certainly won't be the last time.....a Democrat leader lies to smear the other side.
It is their modus operandi.
1. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez:
“On the events on September 11, 2001, thousands of Americans died in the largest terror attack on US soil,” Ocasio-Cortez told host Chris Hayes.
“Our national response was war in one then eventually two countries: 3,000 Americans died in Puerto Rico due to Hurricane Maria. Where is our response?”

2.(CNN) — Puerto Rico’s true death toll from Hurricane Maria remains elusive as the storm’s one-year anniversary approaches.
The island government raised the official death toll to 2,975 on Tuesday after maintaining for months that 64 people had died as a result of the storm.
But the higher figure, based on the findings of researchers from George Washington University in a study commissioned by the US commonwealth’s government, is only an approximation, not a concrete list of names, according to Gov. Ricardo Rossello.
“This number can change,” Rossello said. “It could be less, it could be more, as time passes.” How Puerto Rico’s death toll climbed from 64 to 2,975 in Hurricane Maria
3. "...Puerto Rico’s government—led by a governor with the island’s pro-statehood party who is also a Democrat…”
Trump Denies Heavy Death Toll in Puerto Rico From Hurricane Maria
4. “….only an approximation, not a concrete list of names,…”…..no list of the names of any beyond about 64…..
If you asked for the names of those who died at Pearl Harbor….you could get it.
Or at the Twin Towers, in NYC…..no prob.
But….then, the Left didn’t have to blame those on Trump.
Did I mention Rule #1: Every argument by the Left is a fabrication, misrepresentation, or bald-faced lie.
The only way you get to that 3,000 number.....
…..any deaths, months after, for whatever reason, is attributed to the hurricane, and used against Trump’s correct statement about a far, far smaller number.
Is that how we enumerate the deaths caused by events?
Or, only when a Republican is President?
If we use the same methodology, Pearl Harbor deaths was not the 2,400 so described…..but rather the 70-80 million attributed to WWII
5. Lies are their way of life.
It is essential to recognize that the word has 'lie' has two different meaning to the Left and to the Right.
When applied to the Right, it is taken as an insult, to be responded to, to be proven incorrect.
To the Left it is to be shrugged at, an acceptable mode of debate.
They don't care if they are known to be liars. You'll see that time and again in their posts.
Oh....BTW.....in case you missed it, Mueller: no collusion with Russia by Trump.
It is their modus operandi.
