1. Somebody needs to get this out there!

What a non-Christian, hateful thing to do. Every challenger to these gop cowards needs to highlight this.

2. What an absolute dipshit

[nature-lover]

3. It would look like a win for the Democrats. Can't have that before the election!

[Freethinker65]

4. Call the session. Take the vote to pass it. Return to slash and burn campaign mode.

[newdeal2]

5. Did Johnson just give us a freebie?

Get Harris out there demanding the funding right now every day, Rs will cave, and Democrats will look all the better for it.

6. JHC!

WTF is wrong with him?! He wants to wait a month to help peolple that need it NOW! Is this like the border bill they refused to pass to help TSF’s campaign? Are they refusing to help again for him to use to blame Biden and Harris?!

I can’t even.

[Cha]

11. I'm wondering if Pres Biden can Do Anything?! Also

about the magat Reps in those Devastated Districts... Their Constituent Should be Pissed!

I'm so mad I'm shaking right now.

[sheshe2]

14. I feel sick.

These people are evil. These aren’t even blue state and they want to fuck over their own to give TSF a talking point.

These people should not be in our government, they treat everyone like pawns on the chessboard. They are disposable.

[Cha]

17. Pres Biden & VP Harris must be so

Upset and Frustrated right now for the Victims.

I Hope they can find a way to Help them.

Cindy is lucky because they escaped to their summer home in New London Connecticut. She was laid up from Surgery when the Hurricane Struck and soon was running out of Meds! So they had to do Something!

And they found a way out of town..

[Torchlight]

10. Mr. johnson, you poor, dumb bastard.

That's all I got.

[sakabatou]

12. Johnson sees no value in human lives

[ananda]

13. What kind of Christian won't help hurricane victims?

Sheesh

[The Unmitigated Gall]

15. Slimy piece of shit.

Trying to hold these devastated state’s votes hostage. “We’ll see about helping AFTER you elect Trump.”

Politics above country…ALWAYS.

Mike Johnson wouldn’t know principles Jesus taught if they bit him on the scrotum.

Fucking evil scumbags.

[durablend]

16. "*If* you vote the right way"

"Otherwise, to hell with you"

[petronius]

18. It seems the current MAGA talking point is that FEMA funds have been depleted

by caring for immigrants. They want the hurricane recovery to fail, so that they can blame both Biden and immigrants. It's a two-fer for them politically, and the only cost is that hundreds of thousands of people will suffer...

19. What a surprise. "Anything the government does is socialist...

...and the more the government does, the socialist-er it is!"

This reminds me of the politician a few years back who was overheard saying something like "I don't like the word 'community', because community = communism!". Or how can we forget Maggie Thatcher, with her infamous quote "there is no such thing as society, only individuals and their families". This attitude of cruelty is now commonplace. And with chuds like Johnson, the cruelty is the point.

[Blue Dotty]

20. Speaker Johnson is speaking for trump as usual

Johnson is immoral, cowardly and terrified of trump and MAGA. Far Right Mike is proud to put party over Country and so willing to deny assistance to hurricane victims.

[JustAnotherGen]

21. Johnson

Is a nasty piece of work.
