Latest denial of disaster funding comes as Trump has repeatedly stated he wants to eliminate FEMA
Donald Trump has denied federal disaster relief funds to the people of Arkansas, which saw dozens of people die from a series of deadly tornados last month, so legislators are pleading for him to reconsider.
More than 40 people have been found dead after a series of tornados and severe storms hit Arkansas and neighboring states Mississippi and Missouri in March, according to CNN.
Given the scale of the disaster, the state’s Republican governor, Sarah Huckabee, requested federal disaster aid as a part of an emergency declaration. That request was later denied by the Trump administration.
Ms huckabee was originally part of his 1st admin before trump had no use for her anymore.
Oh I have no empathy or sympathy for her horrible family or her. Just the average person that lives in the states and isn’t an elected official.
