Puerto Rico protests, riots, take to streets against Governor Ricardo Rosselló.


CBS News: Thousands call on Puerto Rico's governor to resign in massive protest.
Thousands marched to Puerto Rico's Governor Ricardo Rosselló's residence in San Juan as part of a massive protest that included musicians Ricky Martin, Residente and Bad Bunny. One protester told CBS News' David Begnaud the group chat scandal was the "straw that broke the camel's back."

The crowd ranged from teenagers to retirees, with some waving the island's flag printed in black and gray rather than red, white and blue to symbolize their discontent with a government they call corrupt and unresponsive to its people.

...Rosselló's former education secretary was arrested and accused of steering millions in improper contracts to politically connected contractors. Then hundreds of pages of online chats between Rosselló and members of his administration leaked, revealing the men mocking women, the disabled and victims of Hurricane Maria.

Pink News: Rosselló referred to others as "cocksuckers".

Whoa! This Rosselló guy must be a Homophobic Gay-Hating Gender Loathing Corrupt Right-Winger!
