MTG Begs For Federal Relief

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) pleaded with the federal government to send relief funds to her state in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene. During a Monday interview, Real America's Voice host Terrance Bates spoke to Greene and her boyfriend, Brian Glenn. "The storm was supposed to come directly across my district, but when it came through Georgia, it went to the east, and we mainly just got a lot of rain," Greene explained. "When we go back to Washington, we will be working hard to make sure that states like Georgia, South Carolina, Tennessee, North Carolina get the funding that they need." "We need them to step in and send the funds and the relief that these people deserve."

Well sporkfoot, Biden signed the disaster declaration BEFORE the hurricane hit, so all Kemp has to do is declare a disaster and the money and supplies will be there as fast as they can.

But you're gonna go on TV and grandstand and blame Biden for something he took care LONG LONG before you got your orders from Sh*tler to put on your screechy howler monkey outfit and head on TV.

What a good little do nothing you are.

You add as much value as a toilet without a flush handle.

And yet, sadly, she's the GOP brand right now.

If she had her way then the federal government would be shutdown right now and the people of her state would be SOL. It was only last week that she voted for exactly that scenario.

... Greene was one of 82 Republicans who voted last week against a continuing resolution to keep the government funded. If she had been successful, the government would have been in shutdown mode from Tuesday onward, preventing any region from receiving the critical assistance.

"We've already signed a letter," Greene told Bates. "We sent that letter to Joe Biden requesting relief that Brian Kemp, our governor, has already requested. So our entire delegation in Georgia has signed onto that letter."

"We need them to step in and send the funds and the relief that these people deserve," she added.

But Greene's public demands ring a little hollow.

During the storm, she was spotted gleefully attending a football game alongside Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, while Kemp revealed earlier Monday that President Joe Biden had called him over the weekend to assess the state's needs. ...

@#5

Reminds me of Sen Cruz and Superstorm Sandy.

He opposed federal aid to the Northeast to help mitigate storm damage from Sandy, well, because it was the liberal Northeast.

Then, when a hurricane struck Texas, he eventually came back from his vacation in Cancun and demanded federal aid for Texas.
