House Republicans have been criticizing President Joe Biden’s response to the wildfires in Maui, saying that he’s not providing enough federal resources and is instead too focused on supporting Ukraine in its war against Russia.
“FEMA is underfunded by $4 BILLION, Georgia Emergency Management Agency (GEMA) is only funded $1 per Georgian, Hawaii’s Lahaina is in desperate need of help from devastating fire killing 50+ people, and America is broke,” Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) tweeted earlier this month, just after the Maui wildfires took hold.
Greene added, “Biden wants to send another $24 BILLION to Ukraine. NO!!”
Other GOP lawmakers have been making similar attacks.
“Biden cares more about funding the war in Ukraine than providing relief for his own country,” charged Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.).
“President Biden completely ignored the people of East Palestine,” tweeted Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio). “Now, he’s giving the people of Maui the same treatment.”
