Chris Hayes was just covering this.

Bravo, Mr. Andres!

He also is the chef sued by The Dotard for withdrawing from a restaurant deal because of Dotard’s immigration remarks.

1. Jose Andres Is Called A Self-Promoter By FEMA Official

I recall this story not two weeks ago.

A federal emergency official is accusing chef and Spanish restaurateur José Andrés of self-promotion after he criticized the government agency's response to Hurricane Maria.

In the aftermath of the disaster, Andrés, who has publicly quarreled with President Donald Trump before, signed two short-term contracts with the Federal Emergency Management Agency, paying the celebrity chef $11.5 million to prepare meals for hungry Puerto Ricans. During his time on the island, Andrés and the volunteers who work for his nonprofit, World Central Kitchen, served some 2.2 million meals in total, often at a rate of 150,000 meals a day.

But in early October, Andrés tweeted that FEMA's Puerto Rico headquarters was "the most inefficient place on earth" — a comment that infuriated Marty Bahamonde, the director of the FEMA disaster operations division.

2. Perhaps if the official did better work, Andres would

have less need to help.

3. Andre's real "sin" was not backing down when tRump tried to litigate him away.

He snubbed 45 at the tRump DC hotel and then showed him up in Puerto Rico. Then tRump has his man try to put him in his place by trying to say Andres is like tRump who does everything for image (brand) and self enrichment (money). Ironic?

I'd bet this FEMA guy got told tRump isn't happy with Andres. DO SOMETHING!

5. Yeah, Puerto Rico...

How's that going?

All this Twitter beefing, and grabbing and kid touching, we've officially lost sight of millions of Americans without power.
