Summary

Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) argued that California does not deserve federal aid for its deadly Los Angeles wildfires unless the state adopts changes.

In a Newsmax interview, Tuberville criticized California leadership, falsely attributing wildfire mismanagement to “inner-city woke policies.”

While he expressed willingness to support some funding, he insisted it be conditional on reforms.

The wildfires have killed 24 people and destroyed thousands of homes, per the Associated Press, intensifying debates on state accountability and federal disaster relief.

    Were all just hairy monkeys “ooging” into the void, friend. I absolutely feel this in my bones, and frankly i do think its a lack of education and other factors contributing to it. Throughout our recent history (lets say about 50 years) education dept budgets have been getting slashed, burned, and changed, especially in the south. I always find it very interesting to see how the attitudes and perspectives of voters have changed throughout the years. Anyone in politics in the 80-90s era never saw natural disasters as a partisan issue, it actually was more of a reason to throw politics aside and help your fellow countrymen. Because we lived in the same country meant we should act UNIFIED against any threat, natural or otherwise. Nowadays it seems to be everyone for themselves, or try to convince a democrat to help so you can stab them in the back in 2 years.
