For those who questioned whether Illinois Congressman Luis Gutiérrez was just playing politics when he blasted the current administration of Puerto Rican Governor Luis Fortuño on Tuesday, we share this video with you. You decide.
While Americans focus on Madison, San Juan is lost in the shadows of the mainstream media.
This must stop. The Fortuño government needs to publicly acknowledge this abuse. If not, as Gutiérrez said, the US Department of Justice will do so.
The mainstream media has never cared about P.R., disturbances in foreign countries probably offer better ratings and better contrast with life in the U.S. until Madison came along.
I have been doing tons of media research about this and will be blogging about this later today. In fact, the Fox News anointing of Fortuño as a rising star of the Republican party is bizarre. I also found out the some inside political bloggers saying the esteemed governor is being considered as a VP running mate for Romney! This is bizarre and he stays silent and gives strange speeches about citizenship while police abuse students in the streets. Arrogance. Pure political arrogance.
Very bizarre for sure….Thanks, Julio, for posting this.
And, thank you Rep. Gutierrez for being the voice that no one wants to hear! I am proud to say I grew up in the IL 4th District that he represents! He is a strong voice for the Puerto Rican people in Chicago- and people everywhere! Fortuna considered a vp candidate?! Even the consideration causes me to relive those horrible memories of another candidate of an election not too long ago…..Fortuna needs to think less about himself and more about the people of “La Isla Preciosa”!
So true.
Brutality is a understatement! Oye!
Good point.
