Former Obama hack Dan Pfeiffer deleted a tweet criticizing the Trump administration’s response to Hurricane Maria and its wrath on Puerto Rico.
“If Puerto Rico had electoral votes, help would already be on the way,” the ex Obama comms staffer and current CNN contributor tweeted. “[B]ut it doesn’t so Trump and Republicans are in no rush.”

We have no idea why he deleted the tweet, but it might have something to do with the fact that he’s entirely wrong:

But this is true, too. Puerto Rico needs even more:
While it is true that Puerto Rico needs additional help, people claiming that the feds have been slow to act are straight up lying.
