Expand not only that but if the Republicans cared so much during the continuing resolution negotiations they could have proposed increasing FEMA funds. They did not. Let’s not forget 2019 when Trump took funds from FEMA as well, “ In late July, President Donald Trump's administration informed Congress of its decision to reprogram $271 million from federal agencies, including $155 million from FEMA, in order to finance the effort to return undocumented migrants to Mexico“ 1 2 1

In 2020, Trump netted 250,000 votes from area affected by Helene. If he can only net 175,000 votes this year due to low turnout and Harris performs as good as Biden in 2020, Harris will win North Carolina due to the Hurricane alone. 2

Now they can't help our own citizens during a disaster because they wasted money on rapists and murders to scratch out a few more votes. Disgraceful. What a mess. 1 1 1

K D Posted October 3, 2024 Posted October 3, 2024 Anyone with a family knows that $750 won't get you much of anything anymore in Kamala's America. I can go out for groceries and get gas for my car and spend close to that. Now imagine doing that but then not having a home to drive back to. What a slap in the face. Not sure how anyone in Georgia or the Carolinas can vote for Kamala after this 2
