Dem Lawmaker: Trump Should Help Puerto Rico Instead Of Dividing Country

"Rep. Don Beyer (D-Va.) is criticizing President Trump for his attacks on National Football League (NFL) players who kneel during the anthem, saying the president should instead be supporting Puerto Rico, which was devastated by Hurricane Maria.

'Mr. President, instead of dividing the country over this you could give support to the 3.4 million Americans without power in Puerto Rico,' Beyer tweeted Monday. ...

Trump hasn’t addressed Puerto Rico on Twitter since last Wednesday."
