| Dozens of Democrats Flock to Puerto Rico for ‘Hamilton' Broadway Show Amid Shutdown |
| 2019-01-13 |
| [Breitbart] Dozens of Congressional Democrats flocked to Puerto Rico on Friday to watch the opening weekend of Hamilton amid the ongoing government shutdown, in a trip that organizers hope will allow them to lobby for additional federal funding to the impoverished island. According to Luis Miranda, a Democratic consultant and the father of Hamilton creator Lin-Manuel Miranda, the trip will provide an opportunity for members of Congress, including Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, to see the need for further investment to Puerto Rico, with the island recovering from the impact of the 2017 hurricane that devastated large swathes of its infrastructure. "They’ll get to experience firsthand the needs of the island, so that they go back and sort of fight (President) Trump and the Republicans," he said in an interview with CBS News. |

| #5 While the shutdown is running there's no taxpayer funding for left wing drivel, sorry the "arts", bar that horrible relic called selling tickets whereby people who like something buy it rather than people who do not.. |
