During Christmas, Pelosi headed to Hawaii and Maxine Waters wen to the Bahamas for vacation, knowing that government workers wouldn’t receive their first pay check of 2019 if they didn’t resolve issues. The excuse then was that Republicans still had control of the House, so going on vacation was ok. Now that Botox Pelosi is Speaker once again, she and a bunch of other Democrats decided to head off to Puerto Rico for another vacation. The just couldn’t miss the opening of left wing play “Hamilton” in Puerto after seeing it numerous times in New York and other states.

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.
