Nice to see Democracy in action and a population sufficiently outraged and united stop a leader who has violated their trust .
Were that we could follow their example ,
But then again he didn’t have Faux news supporting him did he?

From what I’ve read he’d disparaged hurricane victims and just ordinary constituents, and pretty clearly revealed that he was a hateful, disrespectful person toward the people he presumed to govern. They just weren’t going to let him stay in office.
Which is interesting. Just saying.

Amazing how well these foreign countries handle these matters…
If only the United States could do the same…
Sad…

He is nominally a Democrat. He supported Hillary Clinton in 2008 and Barack Obama in 2012. But yeah, Neoliberal, Wall Street-owned Centrist Democrat, Republican’t, same difference…

He’s a Dem. I heard Maddow say last night, inaccurately, that he was a Republican. Never heard her make a mistake like that before. He acted like a Republican but sadly he was a Dem, which made it easy for tRump to throw him under the bus when Rossello tried in some minimalist way to stand up to him at one point.

Next up for Rosselló: Spanish outreach for either the Tump2020 campaign or the Guardians Of Predators National Committee.
“He’s almost as beloved as our president,” Ronna Romney McDaniel, will gush to the Board of Directors. “This is going to work out super swell.”
She’s awesome
