Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders, a close ally of Trump, finds herself at odds with his administration after it denied her state’s request for federal disaster aid following a series of deadly storms last month.
Trump has floated the idea of eliminating the Federal Emergency Management Agency and pushing states to potentially fend for themselves in the wake of natural disasters. He’s already denied disaster aid requests from Washington and North Carolina — states led by Democratic governors — and he suggested withholding aid from Democrat-led California unless it institutes a restrictive voter law.
But the denial of disaster aid to Arkansas, a state he won with 64% of the vote in last year’s presidential election, appears to offer fresh evidence that he intends to follow through on his efforts to gut FEMA — even if it potentially harms some of his fiercest supporters.
She was born with a silver spoon and her dad was a big shot in Washington DC. That’s why she had no idea people would openly attack how she looked and acted when she got the spokesperson job for trump’s first term. She was in a cocoon.
She looked like an anemic grimace, barking at reporters while keeping one eye on the deli tray the whole time.
