Morally Bankrupt Democrats Politicize And Lie About The Texas Floods

Rapid Response

As Texans continue to mourn unimaginable loss after floods killed at least 91 in Central Texas, Democrats have shamelessly exploited their pain in an attempt to score cheap political points.

Following the tragic news, Democrats over the weekend peddled grossly false and disgusting narratives in an attempt to politicize this natural disaster.

Senator Chris Murphy: “There are consequences to Trump’s brainless attacks…”
Democrat House Leader Hakeem Jeffries: “Republicans spent months threatening to condition disaster assistance...”
Texas Congressional Candidate Isaiah Martin: “Trump defunded these agencies...”
Texas Congressman Joaquin Castro : "I don’t think it’s helpful to have missing key personnel from the National Weather Service not in place to help prevent these tragedies."
Vermont Congresswoman Becca Balint: “We knew that these cuts would have deadly consequences.”
Democrat Senate Leader Chuck Schumer even opened a partisan investigation.

All of these attacks – attempting to blame these floods on the Trump administration and spending cuts – have one thing in common: they’re lies.

The NWS said its “forecasting offices were operating normally at the time of the disaster.”
Meteorologists say the National Weather Service did its job in Texas and even “had extra staff on duty during the storms.”
Houston meteorologist Matt Lanza: “We have seen absolutely nothing to suggest that current staffing or budget issues within NOAA and the NWS played any role at all in this event. Anyone using this event to claim that is being dishonest.”
CBS Austin Meteorologist Avery Tomasco: “The National Weather Service … did their job and they did it well.”
Even far-left Ohio Democrat Nina Turner said that attempts by the left to capitalize on this tragedy were “morally bankrupt.”

Instead of coming together to help the communities and families impacted by this horrific tragedy, Democrats have chosen to lie and politicize the deaths of dozens. Shame on them.
