They agreed with the number as "hurricane related". I believe it was Long who ***** SLAPPED Andrea Mitchell around on this point.
That's a cowards way of conceding the argument. Thanks! Looks like you don't want to talk about it either? Lol!

Massive stockpile of bottled water found in Puerto Rico a year after Maria
Hundreds of thousands of water bottles meant for victims of Hurricane Maria are still sitting at a Puerto Rico airport — nearly a year after the deadly storm, according to a report.
A photo showing the bottles in boxes and covered in a blue tarp on a runway in Ceiba was shared widely on social media Tuesday evening.
“Although you don’t believe it… almost a million boxes of water that were never delivered to the villages,” posted Abdiel Santana, a photographer working for a Puerto Rican state police agency who took the pictures. “Is there anyone who can explain this?”
FEMA acknowledged to CBS News on Wednesday that the bottles were brought inland in 2017 in the wake of the hurricane and that they were turned

Remember when that filthy ass TDS suffering San Juan Mayor ***** was telling everybody that Trump wasn't doing anything when she was standing in a warehouse full of FEMA supplies?
Just this August over 10 containers filled of rotting food and medical supplies were found right in San Juan.
What a useless incompetent government in PR.

The one FEMA rep was saying not only were they the first responders, they were the ONLY responders. Government wasn't prepared wasn't organized and consequently did jack shit to help their citizens.

6 months in........
Six Months After Maria: Progress Made, Work Continues | FEMA.gov
FEMA was there before and after the storm.................the entire gird was destroyed and Puerto Rico had not upgraded it for nearly 3 decades.
Most of the deaths they are claiming are due to electricity and lack of medical care and are primarily in the elderly............Patients who were sick or required major medical treatments regularily............
Only about 68 died during the actual storm..........
Massive relief was sent........so this is just BS during an election year...........Trying to do the same thing they did to Bush.

Another report I saw.....have to find it again.....they used the normal mortality rate to inflate the numbers....anything in excess of the normal .....average mortality relief was called Hurricane deaths.....................Most were needing medical attention before the storm for many types of illness.......Diabetes, dialysis, elderly etc.....................One report exagerated it to 5000...........
Tis an election year.................they never miss a thing on how to try to cause outrage for votes.........disgusting politics............
FEMA had a massive force there before the storm........and a battlegroup there.........which came in right after the storm and began efforts......C130's flew in choppers to fly supplies.........LHD were flying their choppers night and day...............It is what it is ..........the Island got wasted.......and the Puerto Rican gov't were run by misfits.

"Trump gave them the water through FEMA but the sorry ass 'Ricans couldn't even distribute what was provided to them."
That tends to happen when all your shit is destroyed due to floods and lack of communications. FEMA should have delivered the food and water or at least provided the trucks and communications so locals could do it.

10,000 US Personnel On the Ground In Puerto Rico Helping With Relief Efforts - NTD.TV
Bossert said there are currently 10,000 U.S. federal personnel in Puerto Rico, including 7,200 troops. He added, “Usually FEMA provides assistance to the governor, but in Puerto Rico’s case, the agency is also assisting the municipal leadership.”
Duke emphasized the scale of the disaster, noting that while Hurricane Maria was a category 4, it was just “one mile [per hour wind speed] away from being a category 5 hurricane.”
In the aftermath, she said, “Everything has to be prioritized. Hospitals first, gas stations next.”
Duke said, “It’s a hard storm to recover from,” but she is satisfied with the response. “This is such a critical mission,” she said.

No Moon Bat. You are confused. The 'Ricans should have delivered the supplies themselves but they ******* corrupt union truckers went on strike. They had the means to do it but they were too sorry and corrupt to do it.
That is just the kind of sorry assholes they are.
I have been in over a dozen hurricanes in my life and I have never take anything from the government. It is called taking personal responsibility for your own security and well being. Something you stupid sorry ass Liberal Moon Bats know nothing about.

Puerto Rico to get $18.5 billion to rebuild shattered housing market | Reuters
SAN JUAN (Reuters) - Puerto Rico will receive $18.5 billion from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to help rebuild its battered housing stock and infrastructure after September’s Hurricane Maria, the island’s governor and HUD officials said on Tuesday.
HUD is awarding a total of roughly $28 billion to nine states, the U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico that have been recently affected by major disasters, including Hurricanes Irma, Harvey and Maria, as well as the recent California wildfires.
The funds are part of a $90 billion disaster aid package signed by Trump in February. The Virgin Islands is set to receive $1.6 billion in HUD disaster recovery funds, a department media advisory said on Tuesday.
Puerto Rico is navigating the largest bankruptcy in U.S. government history, and the plan is meant to establish economic projections that will serve as a basis for forthcoming restructuring talks with creditors owed $120 billion in bond and pension debt.
“Informal” construction - which can also refer to property owners who illegally subdivide their land - is thought to comprise between one-fourth and one-half of Puerto Rico’s 1.2 million homes.
The prevalence of informal housing, which often does not comply with building codes, was thought to compound damage to Puerto Rico’s housing stock when the storm hit.
I'd like to say.......1/3rd of the citizens of Puerto Rico got housing assistance and grants................over a MILLION OF THEM............
And they want more.......as our Gov't spent 90 Billion in Disaster Relief for all the issues going on.

Is it fake news when Trump blames Democrats for the failures of Maria? And if the answer is no, then why did Trump call it a success?
