NOW!: @ChuckGrassley told reporters he doesn't want to comment on the president's tweet but that he also notes the difference in original death toll reported and the estimate now. "I'd like to know why that is - and I think the president is in a position to find out", he said.

If a person can't access medical care because there is no power months after the damn hurricane and dies because of it, that's a hurricane-related death. Whole hospitals were out of business. People couldn't get dialysis. They were drinking tainted water and getting sick. IMO, Trump and his merry band of idiots should be charged with manslaughter.

Because of Trump's post hurricane visit to Puerto Rico, people were so overwhelmed by the generosity and testosterone exhibited by Trump's paper towel tossing that the sick were cured, the dying were able to hold on, and the living took it upon themselves to procreate and name their children after their savior Trump.
Chuck, of course, will insist no hearing is necessary to check the validity of this as he has Trump's word it all is true. The evil Democrats and fake media have kept it hidden.
Hatch and Graham will concur. Collins will hedge. Rand Paul will visit Russia to see what he can find out.

There would have been hearings on what happened in Puerto Rico. It was left to universities and PR arranged research to sort out this slaughter.
