  1. And if we didn’t already know…

    > These included legislators for some of the areas most affected by Hurricane Helene, such as Florida Representative Matt Gaetz, Georgia Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina, and Senator Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee.

  2. Yeah, out them and shame them. I’m really tired of GOP idiots changing their tune whenever it’s convenient.

    Republican voter: “Why did you sting me? Now we will both drown”

    Republican politician: “I couldn’t help it. It’s my nature”

  4. I wish this mattered more to the people who vote for these republicans. Unfortunately it never does. They’d much rather believe whatever trump told them is true even when confronted with conflicting information.

  5. The whole fucking party is nothing but a bunch of shameless hypocrites and spineless cowards.

    Kamala Harris calling out those Republicans who voted against FEMA funding is spot on; it’s hard to understand how they can neglect help for disaster-stricken areas while facing a new hurricane. Prioritizing politics over aid just doesn’t make sense when people are suffering.

  7. The main constituency, the Actual constituency of these legislators is the monied elite who feel they shouldn’t pay their share of taxes and the best way to reduce taxes is to reduce government spending, such as backstopping citizens suffering natural disasters.

    I would be curious to see how many of the millionaires on that list had no problem taking out PPP loans during covid…

  9. GOOD. Blare it loud and wide and repeatedly, especially if they represent a state/district that’s prone to natural disasters.

  10. The Harris campaign should have an intern or three who work full-time just replying directly to misinformed conservatives, with information of this nature. Just put it right in front of those voters constantly, directly, and publicly. Let those voters exhibit if they are capable of honest discussion or capable only of willful ignorance.

  11. This is good. Politicians can’t be held responsible for the choices they make on our behalf if we don’t connect how their precise choices directly affect regular people. The hard part now is if there is no funding and Congress won’t meet again to appropriate it (Johnson’s recent comments) how do we get the most help to people in the path of the hurricane?

    Name the republicans who voted No on FEMA, and put it in an ad that’s geolocated so when someone in the path of devastation picks up their phone they know how their rep voted.

  13. Byron Donalds (R) is the only southern Florida congressman to vote against FEMA. His district? Ft Meyers which is going to get slammed.

  14. Maybe they could put the list
    on the flag or one of their T-shirts to show their Trump PRIDE.

    Seriously about time these unpatriotic,
    self serving morons were called out.
    This should be on billboards in every state .

    I give it until 7pm Eastern before they call this statement from Harris political violence and Comer is demanding an investigation.

  17. Eleven Congressional Republicans from Florida voted no. They don’t care about helping and don’t care about fixing.

  18. Still waiting for a response from my Rep that has information about disaster relief on his website yet voted against it. Fuck you, “Family Values” party adulterer Rich McCormick.

  19. Democrats need to be a lot more straightforward with this kind of stuff.

    Literally include it with the check they get! Put in a note that says, “Matt Gaetz (or whatever rep is relevant to that specific voter) voted against this relief funding. But we’re looking out for you.” People don’t make these connections for some reason so you have to literally push it in their face.

  20. I’d be interested in a cross reference of who voted against this FEMA aid but voted FOR aid to either Ukraine and/Israel. All three passed.

    If people learn about this boneheaded move, those clowns will get voted out

  22. StrawbreezeShortcake on

    This sounds cruel, but I believe states whose reps vote no to FEMA funding should not be eligible to receive FEMA relief. One natural disaster and the voters will replace them in the next election.

  23. Now do another list of who of the f-ckers on this list are spreading misinformation about FEMA, and the way it’s handling crises.

    When you have expectations Republicans are such assholes and they continue to even more so…

    With Hurricane Milton incoming and expected to be devastating, just days after Hurricane Helene the sad truth about Trump and his GOP lackeys is exposed.

    For years the GOP has been sniping at FEMA. For years they voted against funding for FEMA. Now that Hurricane Helene struck and Hurricane Milton later, they have complained about FEMA’s response. They have engaged in misinformation just because this is election year. Just simply inhumane considering the untold misery people involved.

    People will be killed or injured, people will have their homes destroyed, people will have their livehood impacted.

    But Trump and his GOP imbeciles only see the political points. How they can benefit from all this. And their friend the world’s richest man, Elon Musk. Just use 1% of your wealth, Elon to help. Instead Elon aided Trump in his misinformation about FEMA.

    Victoria Spartz, who is Ukrainian-born, also voted against aid to Ukraine, so I am not in the least bit surprised. Just another Republican Tuesday, filled with predictable nonsense.

  26. I’m starting to get really worried about November it seems like a lot of people are drinking the Trump lies like koolaid. I’m losing faith in humanity. Also trying to talk to people so engrained in a cult feels like a lost cause

    Good luck, these people have no shame, it’s almost like they don’t have a conscience. 🤷🏻‍♂️

  28. Glad to see my representatives listed on there. Can’t have people whose lives have been shredded getting money to rebuild. It’s much better to have them pull themselves up by their bootstraps while we lose out on anything and everything they produce for our country. Lord knows I don’t pay taxes to make the country better. I pay them so my elected officials can better themselves. Assholes. Vote Blue!

  29. Good! Missourians, we need you to vote these vile humanoids out of office. Please, for the love of humanity, vote!
