As Hurricane Helene careened toward Floridaās Panhandle, numerousĀ Republicans voted against extending funding for the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
Last week,Ā Congress approved $20 billion for FEMAās disaster relief fund as part of a stopgap spending bill to fund the government through December 20. But the measure left out billions of dollars in requested supplemental disaster funding.
TheĀ Senate approved the measure by a 78-18 vote on September 25 after it passed the House in a 341-82 vote. Republicans supplied the no votes in both chambers.
Some of the Republicans who voted against the bill represent states that have been hard hit by Helene, includingĀ Florida Representative Matt Gaetz.

Good thing everything on the internet is true. You must be a real ādemā for sure. That is how us ādemsā refer to ourselves all the time. Right fellow dem? Actually, Iām not a dem. Iām a straight ticket repub. Iāve just become disenfranchised with my party due to their policies which is what this post is actually about. For some reason you want to talk about anything but that thoughā¦ Strange.
Instead of trying to convince people of something completely unverifiable, do you care to comment on the actual subject of this post or are you just here to complain about how everyone picks on the poor Republicans who are actively trying to block aid to hurricane victims so that theyāll be unable to vote in swing states?
Lol dude get a life, my comments are straightforward and comprehensive. Idgaf if you donāt want to read them, want to make a thousand strawmans, or make me into a REPUBLICAN PLANT that has REAL REASONS to lie about that. You very clearly project your bizarre worldview onto others. Have fun with that.
What? Lol. Youāre not even coherent anymore. Do you care to comment about the actual subject of this post though?
Reading comprehension doesnāt seem to be your strong suit. Why would I waste any actual thought on some weird teenager who thinks there are uNdErCoVer rEpUbLiCaNs in this thread CREATING OUTRAGE and KEEPING OTHERS FROM ENGAGING lolol, I have a hard time even typing that out without cringing, you weirdo
Sigh. Donāt be so dramatic. Iām just here to talk about the actual subject of this post. I didnāt care about your voting preferences. I just think itās wrong to try and block disaster aid.
Lol āsighā followed by ādonāt be dramaticā, classic :) also following your bizarre accusations about my NEFARIOUS MOTIVATIONS, totally not dramatic
Kinda weird to say āI donāt care about your voting preferencesā after explicitly making this our back-and-forth all about my voting preferences (well, your incorrect assumption about my voting preferences)
Your voting preferences are not verifiable and therefore not important to this conversation. The only thing that we can currently verify about you is that you really really donāt want to talk about Republicans blocking aid to hurricane victims. What do you think about the subject of this post?
