Thousands of Puerto Ricans, led by protesters on horseback with some banging drums and singing, marched on the governor's residence in San Juan, Puerto Rico, on Friday, demanding that Rossello resign over the messages which attacked political adversaries, some of which were misogynistic and homophobic. The chats on a Telegram message group were published on July 13, adding to Rossello's woes the same week that two of his former officials were arrested by the FBI as part of a federal corruption probe in the bankrupt U.S. territory. Congressional members, as well as multiple Democratic presidential nominee hopefuls, also took to Twitter to call for Rossello's resignation. New York City congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez tweeted 'The people of Puerto Rico have spoken loudly and clearly for the world to hear. We must stand with la isla. Rosselló must resign.'
