Sen. Hawley voted repeatedly against U.S. disaster support while whining about government response<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As natural disasters continue to strike the U.S., Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley\u2019s cold and calculated votes against FEMA funding prove he\u2019s once again playing politics with people\u2019s lives and putting party over the needs of everyday people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Hurricane Milton bears down on the southern U.S., not even two weeks removed from the damage wrought by Hurricane Helene, Hawley has found company among senators attempting to break the government to demonstrate that it doesn\u2019t work in his desperation to get reelected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hawley was one of just 18 senators who voted against a bipartisan bill funding FEMA<\/a> on Sept. 25, 2024, and he also previously voted against funding<\/a> the disaster response agency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hawley recognizes the value that FEMA provides to the U.S., as he co-sponsored the bipartisan Federal Disaster Response Act<\/a> in 2020 to remove the one-year FEMA worker deployment cap. He also tweeted about the importance of a strong response to disasters by FEMA<\/a> following flooding in Missouri in 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, as polls show Hawley\u2019s lead dwindling<\/a> in Missouri\u2019s U.S. Senate race and former allies like former Republican U.S. Senator Jack Danforth say they don’t want to see him get reelected<\/a>, Hawley has joined forces with other extremists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The purposeful spread of lies and misinformation by Hawley and others like him have created such a dangerous situation for the people living in affected areas that FEMA had to create a response website<\/a> to debunk their falsehoods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hawley will continue to do and say anything he can to be reelected, regardless of how harmful it is to real people trying to survive dangerous conditions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
