...then here you go: 175 House Republicans and 35 Republican Senators voted to defund FEMA, the Federal Emergency Management Agency which assists states, counties, and individuals after federal disasters. The bill allocated funds for FEMA after several natural disasters depleted their funds. All Republicans who voted on the bill, H.R. 5305, voted against it, despite many of them representing states that experience a regular occurrence of natural disasters such as floods, earthquakes, hurricanes, tornados, and wildfires.
Representative Virginia Foxx, the "Shut Up!" lady, tweeted that she's "working around the clock to help get the High Country back on its feet, to make sure western North Carolina is not forgotten" despite voting to defund FEMA.
Florida senators Rick Scott and Marco Rubio have been quick to demand federal assistance in the wake of hurricanes but have repeatedly voted against funding FEMA.
Jeebus, Orange Jesus wants to get rid of both FEMA and NOAA.
Republicans, perhaps your ire is misdirected.
