"I think his staff understands now and they have all the data they need," Yulín Cruz said. "But I would hope that the President of the United States stops spouting out comments that really hurt the people of Puerto Rico because rather than commander in chief he sort of becomes miscommunicator in chief." It's not about politics,'" Yulín Cruz said. "That's all the interaction that mayors had with him."
