YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Congressional Republicans have picked up on Donald Trump's animosity toward the state of California and are now suggesting that any federal aid to help in the recovery from historic, deadly, devastating fires should come with conditions as well as political strings attached. Several Republicans taking this position, including House Speaker Mike Johnson, represent states that contribute a net negative to U.S. coffers and are likely to face even more need for federal dollars as disasters strike their states with relatively greater frequency. Dan Pfeiffer, former senior advisor to President Obama, discusses the political games Republicans are playing with victims of a terrible tragedy.
