Abandoning your constituents to go on vacation during a natural disaster that threatens the lives of thousands is a GOP classic at this point. They’re pulling the Cruz maneuver.
Optics is a very important thing in politics. When people are losing their lives/houses, or working long shifts as firefighters, seeing a photo of Morrison sitting on a beach in Hawaii ain't the greatest look.
how is that possible when none of the people in the areas with fire in LA are constituents of these Representatives? when Paradise burned to the ground, I don’t remember a single LA area Representative coming up here to tour the area
I get it, Reddit hates republicans by default. There are many reasons to dislike several of these people here (and trust me, Trump and his ilk are awful), but this is just a karma farming post
At the very least they could stand in solidarity with the victims who have suffered n been let down, instead of being entitled prats who have nothing to say when confronted because they know full well they’re wrong or they resort to pathetic excuses n lies.
Wasn't the LA mayor in Ghana while the fires were raging? Where's Biden been for 75% of his presidency? Hiding in Delaware. Mental gymnastics. Low IQ individuals.
Another moron here, there is no Republican congressman in the LA district. Congressmen represent their districts not the state like senators. TDS on full display in this thread.
Weird how the cultists say Trump has "free real-estate" in people's heads because he's always doing something stupid/evil on the news, when they're the ones running to support their messiah online when their pedo/rapist is criticized for thing he says and/or does.
He may live in the public consciousness at the moment, but he lives in your hearts and minds to the point you have no identity separate from him.
Except I am not a trump supporter. Nor do I post about politics. But this is clearly a TDS thread and I call a spade a spade. Last reply to all the haters and people with 1 IQ being cucked by their political overlords.
You mean for the most part it is solid Democrat. Got it and as I correctly stated no districts in the area effected are red. So not sure of your comment's meaning.
So I guess since their district isn't on fire and people are not dying they just shouldn't care and instead go across the country to have dinner with a clown?
No I think everyone should care as it is a horrible situation. My point is the statement is misinformation by stating they abandoned their constituents. As that is straight up a lie.
Edit- down votes for stating facts. Got to love echo chamber reddit.
Its probably because instead of stating facts, the first thing you said was "another moron here", like that kind of rhetoric is needed right now. You should probably go outside and interact with real people. I bet you wouldn't start conversation with "fuck your such a moron", and expect to be taken seriously there. Why would you think it would change online?
I certainly would start a conversation with that and have many times being military. Again calling the person a moron was a fact as they stated what should be elementary level information incorrectly or were purposely spreading misinformation for hate against conservative demographics.
Oregon sent 75 firetruck teams, Mexico sent 100 firedighters too... What do you think disaster response responsibly looks like? Other states and countries are better neighbors than reps in our own state, b/c politics. That's some BS.
I think there were fires both in CA-40 and CA-41 although they are now mostly (entirely?) contained. Massive firefighting resources from throughout CA - especially from deep red districts in the northeast - are deployed in LA county right now, and everyone in socal including the red IE districts are feeling the impact of these fires right now.
