ET: Vice President Mike Pence lambasted a number of high-profile Democrats—all of them 2020 presidential contenders—in a string of Twitter posts on April 12 as he toured areas in Iowa and Nebraska that were devastated during last month’s flooding. Democrats failed to pass a recent disaster relief bill meant for the state.
Pence specifically called out Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.), Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) and Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.).
“The next time @ewarren, @BernieSanders, @CoryBooker, @amyklobuchar or @SenGillibrand come to Iowa asking Iowans for their support – Iowans should ask them why they all voted AGAINST disaster assistance for Iowa!” he said on Twitter. “Iowa is still flooded, families need help. Congress must act NOW!”
Senate Republican legislation provided a $13.45 billion bill for disaster relief from recent floods, hurricanes, and wildfires on April 8 but it was blocked by Senate Democrats. The Democrats argued that the more than $600 million provided to Puerto Rico was not nearly enough.
Congress is currently in a standoff over the issue.
In another post, Pence noted the damage caused by the flooding in Iowa. He said that President Donald Trump has tried to help Iowans, while Democrats have chosen to obstruct. more here
NO money for Puerto Rico, period.
Who said “Elections have consequences.”?
I can’t figure out the demonrat strategy in failing to support Iowans.
Just a few days ago right here on iotwR was a post about Iowa giving the primary win to Barry Obumbles, and deserves credit for forcing BO onto the nation.
By refusing to help Iowans are the demonrsts just ungrateful for giving them Barry?
Or are the demonrsts PO’d Iowans didn’t give the win to Hillary in 2008?
The ole grifter deteriorated a lot over those 8 years. Doing stupid stuff and physical decline during the eight years of Obama-hell didn’t help her in 2016.
