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 director 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.
Ah, yes... The F*** America! Bill -- passed because they knew it would never be signed.The House passed a bill to reopen the government. It's all on McConnell now.

Thanks for agreeing it's a republican shutdown.
They went down there to stock up on bottled water. Seems we sent way too many stockpiles of it down there.https://www.breitbart.com/entertain...ico-for-hamilton-broadway-show-amid-shutdown/
Nice to see our Democrat friends in congress being able to go on vacation in a time like this.
They're a little late to the show.How dare they pass legislation to reopen the government.
The gall of them. They don't care about this country at all.
I don’t care for political junkets, but at least the Democrats are trying to help bring attention to a group of Americans needing assistance. What have Republicans done over the last three weeks, aside from carrying Trump’s water?Nice to see our Democrat friends in congress being able to go on vacation in a time like this.

The funny thing is, Democrats truly believe that what Puerto Rico needs right now is... Hamilton.It's a long-running show. So, it's nice to see Puerto Rico get some attention instead of it all going to the stooge in the White House.
Another smart move from the Democrats.

The House Democrats don't want their bill signed.The House Dems sent a bill to McConnell and McConnell won’t bring it to a vote. Tell McConnell to do his job and put the house bill up for a vote.
Knowing it would never pass. Yes, I agree with you, they don't want to open the government.They passed a bill to do just that.

Because if there's one thing Puerto Ricans lack, it's culture... right Democrats?Oh no. How dare Puerto Ricans indulge in a little culture.
