More Profiles In GOP Courage! Cory Gardner, Lindsey Graham Think CA Should Get Fire Relief Funding
EDIT
“I don't think it's appropriate to threaten funding,” Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Colo.) said on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” “That's not going to happen. Funding will be available. It always is available to our people wherever they are, whatever disaster they are facing.”
Trump ally and Sen. Lindsay Graham (R-S.C.) agreed that now is not the time to talk about curtailing funding for any state -- even if, as he said, the federal and state forest officials need to take a more aggressive approach to clearing underbrush to reduce fire risk.
“California will receive the money they need,” Graham said on CBS’s “Face the Nation.” “But going forward, we need to look at some of the underlying causes of these fires, and it's just not California we need to look at better forest management in.” He added: “Now is not time to talk about cutting off money.”
The remarks from the pair of GOP senators underscores the degree to which congressional Republicans have been willing to buck the White House on energy and environmental budget issues.
