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.
The 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, including Florida Representative Matt Gaetz.

One would think the next senate/house election in an area saying, “This guy voted against disaster relief for a disaster that directly affected you” would be an absolute killer, but some of these folks would vote for Lucifer if he had a R next to his name.
And would refuse to vote for Jesus if he ran as a Dem.
Her name is R-Kamala Harris.
Instant win!
“How could I possibly vote for the DEMONcrat party?” - the qons, probably.
Well all these representatives go back to their districts and then lie about it. And they say they voted for the relief but Biden denied it.
In fact, only one request has been denied in recent memory and it was by Trump.
