As we told you in a post earlier today, President Donald Trump literally proposed wiping out all of Puerto Rico’s $73 billion in so of debt. Now, we get that this might just be posturing or the opening bid of a negotiation, but it’s still big — and good — new for our friends to the south. But to liberal Bill Press, that wasn’t good enough:

Illinois Rep. Luis Gutiérrez echoed similar concerns:
Dem IL Rep Gutierrez on Puerto Rico: I was frankly horrified by our President’s performance yesterday on the island.

This would be the same Rep. Gutiérrez who once compared convicted FALN terrorist Oscar Lopez Rivera to George Washington:
@RepGutierrez once said that Oscar Lopez Rivera was comp to Geo Washington, not too concerned abt what horrifies him

Mayor Cruz even debuted a new T-shirt for an interview after Trump visited. So much for “it’s not about politics“:
