you can't make this up, Desantis voted against federal aid for hurricane Sandy victim

"Sandy hit in late October, unusually far north, bringing chaos to New Jersey and New York and leading to more than 100 US deaths. Months later, in January 2013, DeSantis was one of 67 Republicans to vote against a $9.7bn federal aid package for Sandy victims."

This is not a left/right thing. It's just such a sad state of affairs when helping people in a tragedy is politicized.

There were multiple sandy relief bills proposed... The one passed, they voted no on. They voted yes on different bills that provided relief. Back in 13 there were arguments over the amount and how it was spent. Being how the bill was something like 50 billion and only like 25-30billion went directly to sandy relief/aid...


A lot of you literally look at the name of the bill and then who voted yes/no... This happens constantly when people put some shiny name on a bill such as "inflation reduction bill" which does literally nothing to reduce inflation.

Desantis is the lowest of the low. Everyone outside of FL laughs at him and knows he's a total clown.

Learning he voted against Sandy relief funds - but now is begging for it is not surprising.

Why should someone in Iowa pay to bail out someone living in a million dollar beach house?

That's what insurance is for. Pay for your own chit. If you can't afford to, move.

This is a completely braindead take on what relief funds are used for lmao. its for infrastructure, public spaces, etc. Insurance pays for all the people you just mentioned you clown.

He voted against helping those in need from a natural disaster, this is a fact.

He's an absolute spineless POS more concerned about who talks about gays and CRT than helping hurricane victims in other states.

Why didn’t those states and municipalities have an emergency fund built out for those type of disasters?

Seems like common sense.

Hmmm sounds like DeSantis wanted a slimmed down version of a relief bill without all the progressive pork thrown in. OP wouldn't be such a disingenuous cuck that he withheld crucial details, right?

uhhh cause natural disasters like sandy have only effected jersey 4x in the last 100 years... But hey, what do I know, its just a 1 in 200 probability that jersey will have a direct impact from a hurricane or tropical storm in general.

Im on your side you fukkin moron, but building out a fund for something that rarely ever happens is a horrible misuse of public funds and further perpetuates the nanny state bullshyt that the right hates.

"they should have had big government controlling all the public money" wtf are you even saying.

Spineless would be voting yes on a bill that had irresponsible spending attached too it just so you wouldn't look bad.

Desantis is begging Biden for 100% reimbursement for everything the state is doing in the name of this disaster.

Should Congress sit down, take the time to go over all the expenditures and discuss how much is necessary or not?

This is what it always is. Media "Republicans vote against health care for veterans!"

Actual bill is 95% money for illegals and rehousing Afghanistan invaders

This is not a left/right thing. It's just such a sad state of affairs when helping people in a tragedy is politicized.
What was in the bill? Did you read the bill? Every page?
How much spending was part of that bill?
Was that spending responsible or irresponsible?
What other bills were already passed to provide aide?
What other bills did he vote yes on?
Did he ever explain why he voted no? Why not? Was he asked? What was his reason?

Critical thinking is hard for you bud. Context is what matters, but you don’t care. You read a headline and get absorbed into your feelings. You’re a sheep. Exactly the person they want reading this article.

Typically what happens is they have an emergency fund to stabilize after disasters. They can then sit down and approve more and they should absolutely go over each bit to make sure it isn't pork unrelated to the disaster.

It is weird to me that liberals are strutting around like rooster thinking they have desantis in some type of "Gotcha" trap after a disaster.

these dumb ****s that are trying to flip the script about the bill he voted against would also scream at desantis for not wanting to end childhood rape with a bill that would make age of consent to 6.

details matter moron.

Also, just realized the irony of OP stating "you can't make this up"

And then hiding all the wasted spending in that bill........ sounds like one of those made up "get vaxxxed to stop the hurricane" sayings
