“We have a public health emergency that could explode in our face. The House and the Senate in a Conference Committee Report just authorized $1.1 billion. It didn’t have the stuff for Puerto Rico in there. It’s nowhere near where I wanted it to be, it is by [no means] perfect. I wanted $1.9 [billion], I wanted it to include Puerto Rico, it has none of that in there.

So I am going to support it even though I don’t like it, it doesn’t go far enough, and it’s not perfect. Compromise.”
