As Hurricane Helene careened toward Florida’s Panhandle, numerous Republicans voted against extending funding for the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
Last week, Congress approved $20 billion for FEMA’s 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.
Below are all the GOP lawmakers that voted against that bill:

Representative Aaron Bean of Florida
Representative Andy Biggs of Arizona

It seems like Republicans do this every year and it has the same result.

At least not all of Iowa’s congress delegation were sleazeballs like Feenstra. And it was his district that needed the FEMA funds this past June with all the flooding. Fkn hypocrite.

How anyone from Florida can vote against this is a mystery.
Their districts should remember this absolute betrayal.
lancer-fiefdom on
I know its important to point this type of hypocrisy out to the public. But the fact Republican legislators from the United States House down to the local school board proudly vote against their interests is proof they know their voter base are loyal no-matter-what and stupid-as-f$^%

They voted against it and the ones from districts that were affected will claim credit once the funds reach their districts. It’s the GOP way.

Dumbasses from the states that asked for (and received) assistance. How can people continue voting them in?

Let’s make the ones who are on this upcoming ballot lose their races in November.

Before vaccines or drag queens were the existential threat to civilization it was (for a time) FEMA Camps, where Republican voters were to be liquidated. Perhaps the hatred of emergency management dates from that manufactured hysteria?

Any Rep. from Louisiana that did this should be jailed.
sweetfaerieface on
Any rep that voted for this should be voted out! Interesting that the representatives of the states that were most affected by the hurricane voted no

Biggest pieces of shit. Emergency aid and services should *never* be political. It should just be taken care of.
Timpa87 on
The list of who voted against isn’t as impactful as here as the CUTS that were made in order to get enough Republicans to vote to pass to it.
This still passed, but it was missing billions in originally requested supplemental aid. So when you have to get enough Republican Senators so you can get past a filibuster it shows the reductions needed to get enough of them onboard.

Not downloading anything for this. A list would be really nice, though.

Republicans are a clear and present danger to the average American.

Maybe they should make it an opt-in program instead of a full Federal program?

I thought Republicans said they don’t need Federal assistance. They don’t want socialism for their state’s. Give the responsibilities back to the states.

Anyone have the Bill number to look through?

So wait, maga Facebook friends posting garbage about hurricane victims online getting $750 bit we then send millions to other countries, is all because of Republicans doing? Classic Republican move
