San Juan Mayor Carmen Yulin Cruz wore a black t-shirt emblazoned with the word “nasty” Wednesday during an interview with Univision’s Jorge Ramos in response to President Trump’s tweet criticizing the politician.
Cruz told Ramos she wore the shirt because “it was one of the expressions that the president used to describe me. I was a ‘nasty mayor,’” People reported.

“When it bothers somebody that you’re asking for drinking water, medicine for the sick and food for the hungry, that person has much deeper problems than what we can discuss in an interview,” Cruz said.
“What really is nasty is showing your back to the Puerto Rican people,” Cruz added.
