Senator Tuberville of Alabama sparked outrage by stating that victims of California's devastating wildfires don't deserve federal aid because the state votes for Democratic officials. He argued they should focus on building dams, stormwater management, and brush maintenance.
A man walks past a fire-ravaged business after the Eaton Fire swept through Wednesday, Jan. 8, 2025 in Altadena, Calif. His insipid heaves are long past so incessantly tedious to become unworthy of comment.What’s the underbelly of word salad? Alabama’s senior U.S. Senator spews word chum, blood-red bait for the not-so-great white … sharks.Until his utterances become insanely inhumane. Insanely unchristian. Insanely un-American.
“They got 40 million people in that state and they voting these imbeciles in office,” he said into a friendly Newsmax mic, “and they continue to do it. And it’s just a very small part of them in that state that’s doing it.” He offered a caveat, though, saying he wouldn’t mind sending victims, sending Americans “some” money — it came a flimsy. “Unless they show that they’re gonna change their ways and get back to building dams and stormwater, doing the maintenance with the brush and the trees — everything that everybody else does in the country, and they refuse to do it — they don’t deserve anything, to be honest with you, unless they show us they’re gonna make some changes,” he said.
