Funny how your post and the linked article never mention Ricardo Rosselló's political affiliation. Ricardo was a member of the "New Progressive Party" and a very active Democrat supporter.
"Rosselló was a Hillary Clinton delegate to the 2008 nominating convention and an Obama delegate to the 2012 convention. In 2008, he had a key role in Clinton's get-out-the-vote efforts for the June 1 Puerto Rico presidential primary, appearing in her final TV ad with several Democratic political leaders"

If Ricky were a Republican, it would be stated so in the head line of every news article.

Puerto Rican celebrities mentioned in the governor's leaked chats are now speaking out against him and planning to join protests
Protests against Puerto Rico Gov. Ricardo Rosselló have grown since the leak over the weekend of an 889-page chat that revealed sexist, racist, homophobic and violent comments by the governor and his team about opponents and even members of Rosselló's own party.
The leaked chats, which follow separate allegations of corruption that have rocked the island, also included references to Puerto Rican star performers Ricky Martin, Lin-Manuel Miranda and Bad Bunny. All three are firing back at the governor and calling for his resignation. Martin, Bad Bunny and other prominent Puerto Rican artists will join what are expected to be tens of thousands of protesters marching in Old San Juan on Wednesday. Miranda plans to protest in New York.
Puerto Rico Gov. Refuses to Resign Amid 'Chatgate' Scandal
Here is how those celebrities got caught up the leaked chat scandal, through no fault of their own, and how they have responded.
Ricky Martin:
The “Livin’ La Vida Loca” singer was denigrated in the chats by one of Rosselló’s top officials.
The administration's former chief financial officer, Christian Sobrino, leveled homophobic and machista slurs against the international superstar, who’s openly gay, married and is the father of three children.
Sobrino questioned and mocked the singer’s sexual orientation by saying Martin preferred to have sex with men over women because “women don’t live up to the expectations.”
In the video, Martin invited others to peacefully march from the Capitol to Fortaleza, the governor's mansion in Old San Juan.
"Tomorrow at 5:00 p.m. I'm going to be with you. I'm going to walk with my people [...] We're going to let Ricardo Rosselló know that we don't want him in power, that we're tired and we can't deal with these leaders' cynicism anymore," he said.
