As wildfires continue to devastate Los Angeles, conservatives such as Charlie Kirk have gone on the record to suggest that Trump and the GOP should withhold federal aid to California.

(Mods: that auto-suggested title is different from the one on on the page itself, but it’s honestly a better headline in terms of the article’s contents. Let me know if i need to change it.)

On Thursday, Rep. Andy Harris told Newsmax that money for wildfire aid isn’t a priority for Republicans because “we just put more money into FEMA before we left for the Christmas holidays,” and the Maryland Republican claimed that Los Angeles “mishandled the fire department so egregiously that they ought to bear some of the burden for that rebuilding.”

    but the reason was for the worker safety because of the hostility by the right wing.

    Notably, local conservatives out firing guns at FEMA who showed up to try and save their lives.

    If I’m helping save your life and you send a bullet whizzing past my head then yeah, I’m going to leave you where you are as well.

    This, of course, was reported as “FEMA is refusing to help Republicans!” and not “Local Conservatives perform war crime, fire deadly weapons at humanitarian aid”
