Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders has begged President Donald Trump to reconsider his rejection of her request for disaster relief funds after tornadoes devastated her state last month.
The former Trump White House press secretary wrote to Trump in March after storms ravaged the state, killing three people.
Sanders, who often sparred with journalists in the press room as White House Press Secretary during Trumps first administration, declared a state of emergency and asked her former boss to declare a major disaster so the state could secure a federal handout.
But the Trump administration rejected the request and said the damage could be handled by the state.

Fuck you orange asshole. He did the same thing to Washington state which had bomb cyclone damage and North Carolina's damage from Hurricane Helen.

Really sucks, huh, Sarah, that your old boss doesn't give a rat's ass about you or your red state.

I hate what the Republican Party has done - Period. Regardless of the subject.
I hate it because Arkansas is my adopted home state and I truly love it (Fayetteville and surroundings)
God damn the criminals.
