Pelosi on Puerto Rico: ‘The Job Is Not Done’

PELOSI: “The job is not done. As excellent as their service has been, it was not there soon enough and a real lesson to all of us in terms of what can be done in preparation for an impending hurricane. People of Puerto Rico really were helping on Irma, were helping other islands and with the humanitarian assistance and the rest. Because they didn’t get hit as hard. They got hit hard, but not as hard as they would when Maria came. So, the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico, what’s happening right now is a challenge to the conscience of America. This is 50 states and our territories, two of them being Puerto Rico and Virgin Islands. We really have to do more and better for them.”
