“Puerto Rico Governor Ricardo Rosselló to Resign After Weeks of Public Outcry”

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico—Puerto Rico Gov. Ricardo Rosselló said he would resign from office, bowing to public outcry over scandals that have convulsed the U.S. territory’s political system and further imperiled its economy.

His decision Wednesday marked the first-ever resignation of a Puerto Rico governor and followed the release of nearly 900 pages of vulgar messages between him and his advisers, sparking protests that drew hundreds of thousands of demonstrators into the streets of San Juan.

Mr. Rosselló said his resignation would be effective on Aug. 2 at 5:00 p.m. The governorship would typically be passed to the secretary of state, but he was among several officials who recently resigned. Secretary of Justice Wanda Vázquez is next in the line of succession and Mr. Rosselló said she would replace him. He said he would help facilitate an orderly transition.

DJ you said it right it is not a matter of if but when. These folk in Puerto Rico are not having this man any more. He does not have a leg to stand on to be talking about he won’t run again in two years. The minute he made fun of Ricky Martin I knew he was gone. Ricky is a saint down there and they are not feeling all the gay bashing. Plus what is up with making fun of dead people from the hurricane? Yep he has gotta go. This is a very timely story I am glad you chose to cover.

Thanks DJ. I’d hoped that you would write about this story because it certainly deserves attention.

Okay first let me say – regular readers know I’m a GBF (gay Black female) and I DO NOT in any way shape or form, “hate” men. In fact, 2 of the most influential people to bless my life, from childhood to adulthood, were Men. Real. Men. Black men whom I loved dearly. They’re both deceased now but much of what I am today is because of those two magnificent Men.

I also have 2 very close friends, males whom I’ve known years – One gay, One straight. I love them like they’re part of my family. They feel the same about me. Then there’s my brother (gone too soon). Lord what he meant to me! Anyway……

I wanted to get all that said before posting my response to the actions of the Governor of Puerto Rico and his crony cabinet. Revolting similar to what we’re dealing with here (Trump and his mostly male crony cabinet) this story is about despicable Men in positions of power, behaving despicably and proving that they’re NOT fit for the respective position they hold.

It appears the people of Puerto Rico ain’t having it. They’ve taken to the streets and making it known to the world, they’ve denounced Rosselló and want him GONE!!

I can’t tell you how much Respect I’ve gained for the people of Puerto Rico. It’s immense!
