Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders, a close ally of Trump, finds herself at odds with his administration after it denied her state’s request for federal disaster aid following a series of deadly storms last month.
Trump has floated the idea of eliminating the Federal Emergency Management Agency and pushing states to potentially fend for themselves in the wake of natural disasters. He’s already denied disaster aid requests from Washington and North Carolina — states led by Democratic governors — and he suggested withholding aid from Democrat-led California unless it institutes a restrictive voter law.
But the denial of disaster aid to Arkansas, a state he won with 64% of the vote in last year’s presidential election, appears to offer fresh evidence that he intends to follow through on his efforts to gut FEMA — even if it potentially harms some of his fiercest supporters.
I wonder if there is animosity between Trump and Huckabee Sanders. Maybe this is retribution for some slight? She did go more than 90 days without doing a press briefing before she stepped down as press secretary.
there definitely was, as hes been ignoring her for the past 4 years, shes been trying to cheerlead for him.
“i dont know who this suckabee sanders is, sounds like bernie i dont like bernie because he makes look bad and not great”-TRUMP.
I could FULLY believe he’s just incorrectly assumed she’s Bernie’s cousin or some shit. That seems precisely his brand of stupid.
