Brock Long just revealed that he is as shallow and callous as one would expect a Trumper to be but it's even worse since he is in charge of FEMA. He is blaming Puerto Rico for the hurricane damage. He is throwing together a Trump word salad -- the problem is infrastructure, claiming that FEMA needed to "pull out" and "pull back" resources before the storm hit (which made no fucking sense) as otherwise they would overload Puerto Rico. He just said there have been "16" deaths (with a very strongly implied "only" and the rest of the news is just "noise." Noise.
He also kept trying to smear the Mayor. Fuck you Brock Long -- he is blaming the people of Puerto Rico and dismissing the horrific damage and the terrible relief effort because it's all THEIR FAULT. Brock Long just said I told people "THIS IS GOING TO BE A NIGHTMARE FOR PUERTO RICO." You know, them...not Americans.
He is a total scumbag. These people are AMERICANS BUT NEVER ONCE DOES LONG CALL THEM AMERICANS. If he talked this way about Texas for example the outcry would be deafening. Instead he is acting profoundly irritated that he has to answer any questions at all as "frankly I don't have time for that" (direct quote).
To hear his (to my ears nasty) comments re: Mayor Cruz, listen to 5:05 and on when Wallace asks Long about Trump starting the political accusations. Long then tries to imply that Mayor Cruz isn't working with FEMA and that she's "spouting off."
Link to Chris Wallace/Brock Long (Trump appointee) and listen to how he explains the damage in Puerto Rico:

(15,682 posts)Another one who is claiming his is the toughest job in the world. Nobody would want it. If he doesn't have time for listening and the job is such a bad one then what is he doing in that position?
Thanks for posting the clip!
