these guys denied other states aid and are now saying trump is forgetting them:
Texas Republicans slam White House over disaster relief request
A slew of Republican Texas officials ripped the White House's most recent disaster aid request on Friday, as the state works to recover from the devastating impacts of Hurricane Harvey.
The White House is requesting roughly $44 billion in additional aid from Congress for Puerto Rico, Texas, Florida and other disaster-stricken areas, however, the amount is less than what officials from some of the affected areas were hoping to see.
"What was offered up by Mick Mulvaney and [his Office of Management and Budget (OMB)] is completely inadequate for the needs of the state of Texas and I believe does not live up to what the president wants to achieve," Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) said at a news conference on Friday.
"The president has told me privately what he's said publicly, and that is that he wants to be the builder president," he continued. "The president has said that he wants this to be the best recovery from a disaster ever."
Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) said he was "not satisfied" with the request, dubbing it "wholly inadequate," while Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) said he would review the request and push to "ensure our great state has the resources it needs to rebuild and come back stronger than ever."
lying mouthpiece Sanders says Texas not spending a dime of its own is the problem:
White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders defended the request on Friday and called for Texas to contribute more money in the process.
“Up until this point, Texas has not put any state dollars into this process,” Sanders said.
“We feel strongly that they should step up and play a role and work with the federal government in this process. We did a thorough assessment and that was completed and this was the number that we put forward to Congress today.”
too funny really.
