Sen. Elizabeth Warren says she “admires” the decision by Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora to not attend the World Series-winning team’s White House ceremony this week.
A TMZ reporter caught up with the Massachusetts senator Tuesday on Capitol Hill to ask about the news from her local MLB team’s coach.
Cora, a Puerto Rico native, announced Sunday that he — along with a number of other players — would skip the White House event Thursday, citing President Donald Trump’s treatment of the U.S. territory in the wake of Hurricane Maria. The Caguas native told a Puerto Rican newspaper that he didn’t “feel comfortable celebrating in the White House,” while some residents of his home island continue to lack basic necessities more than 18 months after the Category 5 hurricane.
