What emergency aid denials have red states faced under Trump's FEMA?
Donald Trump just gave the middle finger to all red states, purple states, and frankly all states in general that are suffering from major disasters and need relief from FEMA. You probably know our reports here on the Midas Touch Network where we've talked about how the Trump regime's FEMA has denied emergency aid for
Arkansas, despite MAGA Republican Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders being a close ally of Donald Trump, Donald Trump's denied emergency FEMA supplemental aid for Georgia, which voted for Donald Trump, denied it to Governor Kemp. He needed supplemental assistance for debris removal, even though North Carolina voted for Donald Trump.
When they requested disaster assistance through Governor Stein, FEMA recently rejected the relief there. We're seeing this, frankly, Kentucky, though they have a Democratic governor in Beshear. It's overwhelmingly a red state with all of the flooding and natural disasters that have occurred in Kentucky. Trump has rejected FEMA emergency relief there. Donald Trump wants to destroy FEMA.
That's undisputed. He said it over and over again. Now, Donald Trump has had appointed as the interim FEMA director a guy by the name of Cameron Hamilton. Now, Cameron Hamilton is someone who considers himself MAGA. He ran for Congress. He goes, I'm a MAGA Congress member. But earlier this week,
Cameron Hamilton, the FEMA director, testified before Congress and he said it was his own personal view. He said he would have to defer to the administration, but he said it was his own personal view that FEMA should not be destroyed. Although Donald Trump and Trump's Homeland Security Secretary, Kristi Noem, have said they want FEMA destroyed.
They want all the FEMA services to be dealt with by the states. The states don't have the money.
to deal with federal emergency relief our whole system relies on the federal government helping the states in certain situations so acting fema director cameron hamilton was fired by donald trump and this shows you the trump regimes move where they're going to dismantle and destroy fema they fired this guy i'll show you the testimony that he gave it was the most kind of innocuous testimony also.
It was still very obsequious to the Trump regime, but it was not obsequious enough. So here's the Wall Street Journal headline. Acting FEMA director Cameron Hamilton has been ousted from his position by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem a day after he told lawmakers he didn't support eliminating his own agency. Yes, you heard that headline right.
Let me show you the moment right now where he received a question from Congress he didn't want to answer. You can see him asking the chair, do I have to answer this question? And the chair kind of laughed and said, I'm not going to let you off that easy. He knew the writing was on the wall. It was the one question he didn't want to have to answer. He got it.
