GOPers Rip Biden’s Maui Wildfire Response. They All Opposed Funding To Fight Wildfires – By Jennifer Bendery (Huffpost) / Aug 23, 2023
“FEMA is underfunded by $4 BILLION,” charged Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), who has voted against billions of dollars for wildfire management.
House Republicans have been criticizing President Joe Biden’s response to the wildfires in Maui, saying that he’s not providing enough federal resources and is instead too focused on supporting Ukraine in its war against Russia.
“FEMA is underfunded by $4 BILLION, Georgia Emergency Management Agency (GEMA) is only funded $1 per Georgian, Hawaii’s Lahaina is in desperate need of help from devastating fire killing 50+ people, and America is broke,” Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) tweeted earlier this month, just after the Maui wildfires took hold.
Greene added, “Biden wants to send another $24 BILLION to Ukraine. NO!!”
Other GOP lawmakers have been making similar attacks.
