Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) on Sunday said passing additional hurricane aid for states impacted by Hurricanes Helene and Milton “can wait” until Congress is back in session after the election.
CBS “Face the Nation” host Margaret Brennan asked him why he thinks it’s fine to wait until November for Congress to pass more aid for Hurricane Helene and Hurricane Milton victims.
…
Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) was part of a bipartisan group of senators to sign a letter urging Senate leaders to think about bringing lawmakers back into session this month to enact disaster legislation before the end of the year.
House lawmakers have also urged Johnson to bring the chamber back into session. A group of Democrats sent a letter last week asking him to do so, and Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) posted on the social media platform X, “If Congress goes into a special session we can get it passed immediately. This needs to happen. @SpeakerJohnson call us back.”

That’s not very Christian of him.
No, but it’s very supply-side Jesus of him
Maybe his jerkoff buddy is in Florida without access to the Catholic spy cam bullshit on his phone? He’s gotta get the beatin’ while the beatin’s good?
If the Democrats lose to an opponent this vapid and unpopular…
I’d encourage Johnson to recess in the affected areas then.
Mike “disaster victims can wait” Johnson.
I’m very excited for republicans to then pretend this never happened and blame Biden for not aiding hurricane victims :')
Man of God, everyone…
The Republican party continues to eat its own tail, and as usual the citizens are the only ones to suffer any consequences.
And half of those same citizens will vote for them next month!
They’d rather do nothing because they want to maximize the pain for the people and make their lies resonate more with voters.
Also, it’s kind of hard to vote if the polling places are gone,
The dude who shares jerkoff information with his son and can’t be bothered to help the people of this country.
All of the Republicans and those that continue to vote for them are just fuckin’ weird.
Hey Chuck, are you finally willing to admit you were wrong all along? Survival of the fittest sounds good, but if you just kinda… look around… you can clearly see all the evidence against that theory, right?
Well, fittest doesn’t necessarily mean the smartest.
If it were to get more money for war everyone would be in full session
They are doing this because they know they will be able manipulate their base into saying this was Bidens fault.
Exactly, the government is currently only temporarily funded until Dec 20. This is a nice juicy chunk of funding they can use to claim all sorts of bullshit.

The follow up question should have been:
What if your failure to send aid causes enough poor dumb republican voters to die to cost you the election?
What direction would Tampa swing the election?
Oh man I hope his constituents absolutely fuck him at the polls.
But they probably won’t because this is Louisiana we’re talking about.
