(1,737 posts)I watched on the weather channel, who when she received sos messages from her community. Took boats, rescuers and personally went searching door to door for anyone who needed to be saved. The same lady when asked why she has participated in the search efforts replied, "these are my people". This was before Puerto Rico became a news story. She didn't just give commands, fly over or shake hands. She was helping to save lives. Fuck anyone who is now trying to tarnish her image to save face. I'm so done with these people.
