CNN’s Bash Confronts RubioWhy Should the Senate Help Florida After Hurricane Ian When You Voted Against Sandy Relief?
"CNN’s Dana Bash pressed Senator Marco Rucio (R) to explain why he’s seeking federal help after Hurricane Ian when he opposed relief bills in the past for natural disasters in other states.
Rubio was on CNN’s State of the Union on Sunday to discuss Florida’s efforts to recover from the storm. The senator for the assistance the state has already received from the Biden administration — but is asking the Senate Appropriations Committee for disaster relief. In light of his request, Bash brought up the senator’s record and noted that he opposed a $50 billion relief package in 2012 when the northeastern U.S. was devastated by Hurricane Sandy.
“I know you supported a smaller version,” Bash said, “But why should other senators vote for relief for your state when you didn’t vote for a package to help theirs?”
“I’ve always voted for hurricane and disaster relief,” Rubio answered, insisting that he opposed the first version of the bill because it of the “pork” spending he saw in the package."
