What happened to Georgia Governor Brian Kemp?
Well, here's some instant karma. The Republican governor of Georgia who said that he was supporting Donald Trump in the 2024 election for business reasons. He thinks Trump would be good for business. Of course, I'm talking about Brian Kemp. Well, he just got handed.
How did Trump impact FEMA aid in Georgia?
some instant karma when the Trump administration denied necessary FEMA aid to Georgia that former President Biden was providing to the state of Georgia. Let me just show you the letter that Brian Kemp received from Donald Trump's FEMA as Trump's trying to gut FEMA.
What were Kemp's past statements about Biden's aid?
Then I want to show you some videos where previously Brian Kemp talked about how former President Biden was giving him everything he needed regarding Hurricane Helene and any other disaster, which Donald Trump did not do in 2020. Huh? I might add.
What lies did Trump tell about Biden and Georgia?
And then Donald Trump was lying about it and saying Biden was not giving the aid and Biden was being rude to Georgia and he was betraying the people of Georgia. Meanwhile, Trump's first act was to literally give the middle finger to the people of Georgia. And you see over and over again, these Republican governors, because of their spineless nature, destroy their own states. Because of what? Mean tweets by Donald Trump? Mean truth social posts by Donald Trump? It's so pathetic. Let's go through the facts detail by detail here. This is from FEMA in response to the request by Governor Kemp. This is in response to your January 24th, 2025 request for an extension to the cost share waiver under major disaster FEMA-4830-DR that was declared on September 30th, 2024 due to Hurricane Helene.
So it's an extension of what Biden agreed to immediately. You specifically requested an extension of the 100% federal cost share for debris removal and emergency protective measures, including direct federal assistance to 180 days. And you reiterated your request for an increase in the federal cost share for permanent work to 90%. Based on our review of all of the information available, it has been determined that the increased level of funding you have requested for major disaster FEMA-4830-DR is not warranted. Therefore, I must inform you that your request for an extension of the period of 100% federal funding for debris removal and emergency protective measures, including direct federal assistance to 180 days, is denied.
It says FEMA will monitor the situation, but it is otherwise denied. Going back to what Brian Kemp said in 2024, look, You may not like Donald Trump personally, but you like his policies a lot better than Kamala Harris, Kemp said at the Republican gathering. Quote, it's a business decision. You're making a business decision. Okay, well, our economy was doing well under former President Biden and former Vice President Kamala Harris. 16.4 million jobs were created. They brought inflation caused by Trump, one administration under control. never a month where jobs were lost. Consumer sentiment was feeling better. We were talking about a Goldilocks economy, a soft landing with no recession when every economist in 2021 predicted because of Donald Trump's conduct, there was going to be a recession. And the stock market was up about 55% to 60%. Regardless, Brian Kemp and these Republicans, Donald Trump's policies were way better. He was destroying your state.
Look, take a look back at November 21, 2020, three days after asking Trump for disaster aid to recover from a tropical storm in 2020. Republican Governor Brian Kemp of Georgia enraged Trump by certifying the results of the election. Trump, who had been urging Kemp and Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to To declare him the winner in Georgia, assailed the governor as a moron and a nut job after the certification. Trump sat on the disaster request for 55 days before finally approving it. But he waited 55 days. Did Kemp not remember that? How about this? This is from September 30th, 2024. Donald Trump was lying that President Biden refused to talk to Georgia's Governor Kemp. And you see Franklin Graham and all of these people out there lying about the great results that FEMA was actually providing. And they were lying and saying that Biden was not giving aid. Of course, corporate media was not fact-checking this. They just played it. But let me show you what Trump said. Play this clip.
