The article comes from false premises: the thing about Puerto Rico is that they are family, and Republicans are trying hard to pretend that they aren’t.
How about a bad analogy? “That poor lady that got hit by a car? You can’t just toss her a band aid and abandon her! It’s bad enough that you would do that to anyone, but that’s your sister! And you of all people have been preaching to all of us that we need to look out for our family!”
It’s making the inherent selfishness and hypocrisy even clearer.
