That was a totally different situation, Inhofe told MSNBC, arguing that the Sandy aid was filled with pork. There were things in the Virgin Islands. They were fixing roads there and putting roofs on houses in Washington, D.C.
Everyone was getting in and exploiting the tragedy that took place, he said. That wont happen in Oklahoma.
Republicans who voted against the Sandy aid have cited the fact that some funds could go to the Virgin Islands as well as the $2 million allocated to the Smithsonian for roofs damaged by the storm as unnecessary pork. We dont yet know what a congressional relief package for Oklahoma would look like, if one is necessary. As of Tuesday morning, FEMA has $11.6 billion in its Disaster Relief Fund.
