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.
If the feds don’t have enough money to go after the super rich for not paying taxes, there’s no way they have the funding to go after an entire state that keeps all the tax money meant for the federal side. 😏
