The @cpipr published the whole #Telegram chat where Gov. @ricardorossello and members of his staff-cabinet made derogatory comments on several political and public figures, talked about state affairs and planned political stunts to harm reputations. #PuertoRico #TelegramGate

Here’s the link to the chat Gov. @ricardorossello and his “brothers” called “War Room Fortaleza” and talked during business hours from Nov. 30 2018 to early 2019. bit.ly/2JHNeTw

Former Secretary of Public Affairs @RosarioCortes51 and former @ricardorossello campaign manager and rep. before the Oversight Board Elías Sánchez (F do) plotted, with PR person Carlos Bermúdez, ways to give Sen. @anibaljosepr bad press.

Former Sec. of Public Affairs @RosarioCortes51 threw a homophobic slur against Sen. @anibaljosepr referring to him as “La Jossie.” Gov. @ricardorossello then shared a photo of Senate President @trschatz51 and Puerto Rico’s Rep. in Congress @Jenniffer2012 and mocked it.

The rep. of Gov. @ricardorossello before the Oversight Board, @ChSobrino, shared confidential state information in the same chat. The then Sec. of Public Affairs @RosarioCortes51 gave instructions.

El Sec. de Estado @LuisRiveraMarin insinuó que era “ilegal” que algunos municipios llevaran las banderas a media asta tras la muerte de la periodista Keylla Hernández. El resto del grupo lo detuvo y luego él mismo bromeó “Lo hacemos con Oscar (López Rivera)”. #Telegram

Even @ricky_martin was mentioned in the chat by the rep. of Gov. @ricardorossello before the Fiscal Oversight Board @ChSobrino “Ricky Martin is so machista that he fucks men becase women don’t live up (to the expectations). Pure patriarchy,” he wrote. #Telegram #PuertoRico

Gov. @ricardorossello called my colleague and ex-coworker @TorresGotay “mamabicho” (“cock sucker”) for his reporting on the transportation crisis in Vieques and Culebra, the two islands, municipalities of Puerto Rico. #Telegram #TelegramGate #PuertoRico

Former campaign mngr. of Gov. @ricardorossello, Elías Sánchez, mentioned @CBSNews reporter @DavidBegnaud’s story on violence earlier this year. Carlos Bermúdez, Rosselló’s PR, said “we have to go after him on social media, that he’s the enemy of PR and wants to kill tourism.”

On the Vieques-Culebra ferry: The rep. of the Gov. before the Oversight Board @ChSobrino said: “Any person who takes the ferry and complains must be crazy. Ferries have been shitty for 10 yrs.” Gov. @ricardorossello replied: “That’s why we are privatizing folks [sic].” #Telegram

. @Lin_Manuel’s hit Broadway show @HamiltonMusical was supposed to be presented at the Theatre of the @UPR_Oficial but it was changed to Bellas Artes because of Gov. @ricardorossello’s intervention. Back then he said it was the producers’ decision bc of safety concerns.

The rep. of Gov. @ricardorossello before the Oversight Board, @ChSobrino, said about @CarmenYulinCruz “I’m salivating to shoot her,” to what the governor responded, “you’d do me a great favor.” Yulín Cruz is San Juan’s mayor and is currently running for governor in 2020.

An astrologer “predicted” Gov. @ricardorossello would’ve had a third baby with his wife, First Lady Beatriz Rosselló, this year. On the #Telegram chat he said: “In an unrelated note, I’ll be hammering my nuts all morning.”

“This chat is very enriching,” said Gov. @ricardorossello when the group discussed the @MissUniverse beauty pageant that the Governor referred to as “softporn.” #Telegram #TelegramGate #PuertoRico

Gov. @ricardorossello and staff members implied that something needed to be done to give opposition lawmaker @manuelnatal a “lesson.” “I’ll refer him to the Police,” the governor said. #Telegram #TelegramGate

Disgraced Rep. of Gov. @ricardorossello, @ChSobrino joked about the bodies at the Forensic Sciences Bureau, which operates short-staffed with only 5 pathologists to the day, by saying “Don’t we have a corpse to feed our crows?” There are families waiting to bury their loved ones.

CORRECTION: In a previous tweet I said singer Ricky Martin was mocked in the the infamous Puerto Rico's Government Telegram chat for his sexual preference when I should've said sexual orientation. Thanks to @RealEmmyMorgan for pointing that out. It was an honest-dumb mistake.
