Summary

Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) argued that California does not deserve federal aid for its deadly Los Angeles wildfires unless the state adopts changes.

In a Newsmax interview, Tuberville criticized California leadership, falsely attributing wildfire mismanagement to “inner-city woke policies.”

While he expressed willingness to support some funding, he insisted it be conditional on reforms.

The wildfires have killed 24 people and destroyed thousands of homes, per the Associated Press, intensifying debates on state accountability and federal disaster relief.

    I was looking for this comment. Like literally twice in recent history, Texas has had major issues with power and freezing temps. “Must be all those iced up windmills” they’d have you think. Then they turn around and ask for help and aid while their governor decides Cancun MEXICO (the ‘evil’ border facilitator to the south) is better digs than his own shitty froze over home, saying fuck everyone else in the state, I’ll take those tax dollars on a plane and peace out.

    You know what then Texas, Florida, ALABAMA. 🤬 off, the next time you need disaster aid. Because, you DONT DESERVE IT, UNLESS YOU CHANGE YOUR WAYS, TUBERTUCK!

    Jesus Christ. I’m so sick of this game. Like is it lack of education? Lead in the pipes? I’m… I cannot wrap my head around this preposterous stance. There is a REASON we traditionally do not make disasters a PARTISAN ISSUE. 🤦‍♂️

    After everything, Trump, blah blah. Just. How the fuck did we get here??

    Sorry person I replied to. I just had to get all that out. Otherwise I feel like I’m waiting for the dream to end. To wake up in normalcy.
