Creepy lawmaker votes against funds after Hurricane Ian ravaged his state of Florida. |
The white nationalist lawmaker accused of having an inappropriate relationship with an underage girl voted no on hurricane relief for his own state.
The states of Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina; the U.S. territories Puerto Rico and U.S. Virgin Islands had serious hurricane damage. Georgia and Alaska had serious flood damage from endless storms. U.S. territory American Samoa had tsunami damages.
Natural disasters that led to massive disruptions in American lives.
Count on Republicans to vote against approval for disaster relief. But as soon as it hits their communities, they're begging for federal assistance.
Rep. Karen Gaetz (R-FL) is one of 90 lawmakers who do nothing but create noise. He is a creepy looking dude who resides in the panhandle city of Pensacola. His district is safe Republican and he is expected to win despite him being under federal watch.
Gaetz was one of the many Republicans who voted against a stop gap measure to keep the government open.
The House of Representatives approved a continuing resolution on Friday, giving the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) the ability to spend through the Disaster Relief Fund, freeing up $15 million more in aid for disaster relief. Only 10 Republicans voted for the measure, two days after a Category 4 hurricane barreled through Florida, killing dozens and causing billions in economic damage.
Gaetz indicated he'd vote against funding to benefit government agencies earlier this week. He joined dozens of his colleagues in signing a letter that they would "do what is necessary" to prevent additional funding for the Biden administration.
"Any legislation that sets the stage for a 'lame duck' fight on government funding gives Democrats one final opportunity to pass that agenda," the letter said. "Therefore, we, the undersigned, will oppose any continuing resolution that expires prior to the first day of the 118th Congress, or any appropriations package put forward in the remaining months of this Democrat-led Congress."
None of the representatives who signed the letter voted in favor of the resolution.
The House's passage of the bill follows the Senate passing the bill with 25 Republicans supporting the measure. The bill will now go to President Joe Biden's desk to be signed.
Of course, Republicans don't want the left to politicize a tragedy.
Remember, Softball Hannity once called Florida, the "free state" because of DeSantis and his stupid rollbacks of regulations. Now the end game.
However, we have to point out how ridiculous Republicans are when they vote against helping those in need. The safety net will be needed for those who were affect in Southwest Florida, Central Florida and the South Carolina Lowcountry.
Expected deaths will be in the hundreds to thousands.
People who cheered "Let's Go Brandon" will now need Biden and federal government to get their lives back together.
I am not sympathetic to Republicans. They don't believe in climate change. They literally laugh when California has wildfires, Chicago has gun violence, migrants dying while trying to cross the U.S.-Mexican border and Democrats dying.
Call me heartless.
Republicans find karma every day when things like this happen. Trust me, no one wants to see their livelihood collapse because of a natural disaster. But I see Republican voters as the idiots who got what's coming.
Man, politics is toxic.
Okay, if you want to help Alaska, American Samoa, Florida, Puerto Rico, South Carolina, Georgia, the U.S. Virgin Islands and North Carolina, visit the American Red Cross. Your donations could help.
By the way, Alaska had catastrophic flooding in Juneau and Fairbanks. Republicans once again deny climate change felt the karma.
