Republicans appear to be attempting their hardest to make putting conditions on relief to victims of ravaging natural catastrophes appear like a regular or affordable thing to do– by the end of the week, most likely everybody will be on board.
As big swaths of Los Angeles County burned over the previous week, and 24 individuals lost their lives, Republicans have actually fasted to play the blame video game and utilize the catastrophe relief as a chance to play politics. One by one, they've fallen in line with their strangely similar, half-baked pitches to reform California's liberal politics, without ever explaining precisely what politics involved the wildfires in the very first location.
Throughout an interview Monday on Newsmax's Chris Salcedo Show, Republican Senator Tommy Tuberville was asked why individuals who had actually lost their homes, valuables, and organizations should have aid from Congress.
“Senator, why should other states be bailing out California for picking the incorrect individuals to run their state?” asked Salcedo.
“We should not be,” Tuberville responded. “They got 40 million individuals because state, and they voted these imbeciles into workplace, and they continue to do it.”
As Tuberville described, he didn't blame all Californians. Simply the liberal ones residing in cities.

And I dislike it for them,” Tuberville described. “But they are simply overwhelmed by these central city, uh, woke policies, with individuals that choose 'em.”

The Alabama Republican might hardly discuss what sort of policies he was slamming– which's due to the fact that he does not even understand. He's simply playing a video game of telephone with every other Republican legislator and conservative expert: There's simply no other way for the real concepts to make their method to the end. The fundamental part is that the message sounds the exact same. Home Speaker Mike Johnson took his turn on the horn simply hours before Tuberville.
And, for what it's worth, Republicans' criticism about “woke” policies didn't hold quite water to start with. Almost every tank in California is holding a quantity of water that is at its historic average, or greater, in spite of the reality that it has actually been an especially dry winter season, Wanderer reported.
Donald Trump has actually declared that California Governor Gavin Newsom “declined to sign the water repair statement” (there is clearly no such thing), and blamed the state's efforts to protect rivers and wetlands. The Metropolitan Water District,
