While the American people have had a big heart, President Trump has had a big mouth, and he has used it to insult the people of Puerto Rico.
You don't fight injustice by asking to become part of the system that committed the injustice against you in the first place. That's like a freed slave striving to become a slave owner.
If President Trump were to say, 'I'm going to go to San Juan to see that nasty mayor,' I would receive him with open arms because democracy is larger than me.
I often say to my friends that I felt too Puerto Rican to live in the States; then I felt too American to live in Puerto Rico. So when I settled back in Puerto Rico in 1992, I had to come to terms with all of that.
When you're drinking from a creek, it's not a good news story. When you don't have food for a baby, it's not a good news story.
I am done being polite. I am done being politically correct. I am mad as hell, so I am asking the members of the press to send a mayday call all over the world.
When someone is bothered by someone claiming lack of drinking water, lack of medicine for the sick, and lack of food for the hungry, that person has problems too deep to be explained in an interview.
There are people who do everything for a calculative political motive. My only motive is a human motive.
I want to make sure that people understand that we know the difference between President Trump and the good-hearted people and the good-natured people of the United States. We know they're not one and the same.
