What happened
The tweets, sent from his New Jersey golf club ten days after Hurricane Maria, followed San Juan Mayor Carmen Yulín Cruz's plea for more federal help. In another tweet that morning he wrote that the mayor 'has now been told by the Democrats that you must be nasty to Trump.' Cruz responded by calling for a focus on people who needed help.
