Puerto Rico Governor Endorses Donald Trump, Says He Represents Puerto Ricans: “Nobody Is Perfect”
#Socialites, get into this! Governor of Puerto Rico Wanda Vázquez Garced has decided to endorse Donald Trump for president.
While urging the roughly 5.5 million Puerto Ricans living domestically to go and vote on Election Day, she told voters they should evaluate which candidate will help the island in its hardest moment. “Use your vote and evaluate who represents and thinks about Puerto Ricans in their most difficult time,” Vázquez said during her interview on local station Telemundo before adding, “It is Donald Trump.”
During her appearance, Vázquez was also asked about Trump’s infamous visit to the island where he was seen throwing paper towels to Puerto Ricans devastated by Hurricane Maria in 2017. According to a translation by Ortiz Blanes, the governor replied that people needed to move on because “no one is perfect.”
As the Miami Herald notes, the Republican official was set to participate in a campaign event with Trump in central Florida on Friday but it was canceled after the president tested positive for COVID-19.
