Add Sen. Elizabeth Warren to the list of Democrats playing politics with the U.S. response to Hurricane Maria and the devastation it caused on the island of Puerto Rico:
Puerto Rico was already suffering from an economic crisis long before it got hit by the hurricane. Now it faces another humanitarian crisis.

Congress must immediately take up an appropriations bill to come to Puerto Rico & the US Virgin Islands’ aid.

All we can say is where was this concern in the week after Maria hit the island? A quick look at her timeline shows Warren offering boilerplate language on the 20th — the day the storm hit — and then nothing until September 26. So, she’s slamming Trump for his slow reaction while she had nothing to tweet for almost an entire week?
Puerto Rico is a mess right now — that much is clear. But the media and politicians of both parties ignored what was going on because things like kneeling NFL players were more important — to them, at least.
