So Arkansas Governor and former Liar for the White House, Huckabee Sanders asked for FEMA support after tornados struck her state. Trump Admin said no.
As a reminder, Trump isn't a Republican, barely qualifies as human, so that he would tell Arkansas to bleep off shouldn't be too surprising. Sure, Huckabee-Sanders lied a lot for Trump, but Trump is very much a what are you going to do me now, sort of person.article said:Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders and the state's entire GOP congressional delegation are urging President Donald Trump to reconsider after the Federal Emergency Management denied the state's request for federal disaster relief following a series of deadly storms last month.
After severe storms hit the state in mid-March, Sanders applied for disaster relief through FEMA, under what's known as a major disaster declaration. The request was denied.
"As Governor Sanders noted in her request, these storms caused catastrophic damage across the state, resulting in disastrous amounts of debris, widespread destruction to homes and businesses, the deaths of three Arkansans, and injuries to many more," the state's two Republican senators and four GOP House members wrote in an April 21 letter to Trump. "Given the cumulative impact and sheer magnitude of destruction from these severe weather events, federal assistance is vital to ensure that state and local communities have the capabilities needed to rebuild."
