Hillary Clinton
"He has not said one word about them , about other American citizens in the U.S. Virgin Islands ," Clinton said , before Trump tweeted . 
Clinton also criticized Trump for his silence on Puerto Rico 's recovery while devoting several days toward attacks against hundreds of NFL players who knelt in protest against the president , demonstrations that continued through "Monday Night Football ." 
"I 'm not sure he knows that Puerto Ricans are American citizens ," Clinton told Sirius XM 's Zerlina Maxwell on Monday afternoon . 
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Monday launched a blistering attack against President Donald Trump for his near-silence on the humanitarian disaster in Puerto Rico , questioning the president 's focus on a days-long campaign against NFL athletes on Twitter while the U.S. territory has struggled with universal devastation . 
During appearances on Sirius XM and MSNBC 's "All In With Chris Hayes ," Clinton described the president 's approach as a political calculus and being disinterest in the fate of the 3.5 million American residents living on the island . 
"He does n't think that has any political relevance and it 's certainly not personally important ," Clinton told Chris Hayes on Monday evening . 
Clinton comments echoed those she made just hours earlier while chatting with Sirius XM 's Maxwell .
