Puerto Rico In Crisis

Town Hall - Micah Rate:

This weekend the entire country seemed to be focused on President Trump's Friday night rally for Alabama Senate candidate Luther Strange, along with the president's tweetstorm calling for players of the National Football League to be fired for kneeling during the national anthem. Sunday fueled the fire even more as there was non-stop coverage of athletes protesting the president league-wide. While this story continues to soak up media attention, a potential humanitarian crisis is underway in the U.S. territory of Puerto Rico.
The small island has been ravaged by back to back category five hurricanes and the American citizens there could be without power for a series of months. Hurricane Maria alone left three million people without electricity.
