Didn't I tell you to stop using Snopes? That's especially true when dealing with anything political.

I was thinking the same thing.  Quoting Hoffa doesn't refute what's happening on the ground in Puerto Rico.  You've got multiple sources actually in there reporting a very different story from Hoffa.

And you've got multiple sources that explain how this supposed truckers strike was made up and then picked up by the right wing media.  If you were at all interested in the truth, you would admit that this "truckers strike" is fake news.  

The fact is, most of the truckers in Puerto Rico are stranded without fuel or cell phone access and can't even get to the trucks they are supposed to be driving.  The Teamsters are recruiting truckers from the mainland to drive the trucks.

It just boggles my mind the way you guys cherry pick "Jim Hoffa" from the Snopes article as if that refutes everything the article said. And then you buy into the right wing agenda-driven media that wants to claim there's a truckers strike when there isn't one. All because you want to defend Trump from unfair attacks. As if telling a lie about a truckers strike is a valid defense. It's crazy.
