In Midst Of Disaster Funding Stalemate, Rick Scott’s Campaign Promises To Stand Up For Puerto Rico Put Him In Tough Spot

Democrats are seizing the opportunity to blast Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) for taking President Donald Trump's side in the battle of disaster relief. But Scott is fighting back. “This is a great example of why people hate politics. Not only did @SenSchumer block a bipartisan bill, now he’s lying about it,” Scott tweeted Sunday evening. “Our bill doesn’t strip funding for P.R. It includes $600 mil in nutrition assistance funding for P.R. that I fought to get in the bill.” As the bickering in Washington continues, many in Puerto Rico are left uncertain and worried about the future.
