As Hurricane Helene careened toward Floridaā€™s Panhandle, numerousĀ Republicans voted against extending funding for the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).

Last week,Ā Congress approved $20 billion for FEMAā€™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.

TheĀ 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, includingĀ Florida Representative Matt Gaetz.

    Lol dude get a life, my comments are straightforward and comprehensive. Idgaf if you donā€™t want to read them, want to make a thousand strawmans, or make me into a REPUBLICAN PLANT that has REAL REASONS to lie about that. You very clearly project your bizarre worldview onto others. Have fun with that.

        Reading comprehension doesnā€™t seem to be your strong suit. Why would I waste any actual thought on some weird teenager who thinks there are uNdErCoVer rEpUbLiCaNs in this thread CREATING OUTRAGE and KEEPING OTHERS FROM ENGAGING lolol, I have a hard time even typing that out without cringing, you weirdo

          Sigh. Donā€™t be so dramatic. Iā€™m just here to talk about the actual subject of this post. I didnā€™t care about your voting preferences. I just think itā€™s wrong to try and block disaster aid.

            Lol ā€œsighā€ followed by ā€œdonā€™t be dramaticā€, classic :) also following your bizarre accusations about my NEFARIOUS MOTIVATIONS, totally not dramatic

            Kinda weird to say ā€œI donā€™t care about your voting preferencesā€ after explicitly making this our back-and-forth all about my voting preferences (well, your incorrect assumption about my voting preferences)

              Your voting preferences are not verifiable and therefore not important to this conversation. The only thing that we can currently verify about you is that you really really donā€™t want to talk about Republicans blocking aid to hurricane victims. What do you think about the subject of this post?
