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.

    64% of Arkansas voters deserve to absolutely, relentlessly, get fucked. Sucks for everyone else, though.

      Sadly, they’ll learn nothing. Guaranteed ads and fox news there are giving them a narrative that makes them vote against their interests harder.

    let this be a lesson to anyone that thinks he favors them or that they’ve earned some sort of credit with him.

        The real quote is worse:

        He’s not hurting the people he needs to be hurting

            No worries, I just wanted to clarify. Because it demonstrates that it’s not just that they’re okay with people being hurt, they want people to be hurt.

    I despise this disgusting woman.

    What’s wrong, Sarah? Can’t your state’s child laborers take care of it?

    I wonder if there is animosity between Trump and Huckabee Sanders. Maybe this is retribution for some slight? She did go more than 90 days without doing a press briefing before she stepped down as press secretary.

        I could FULLY believe he’s just incorrectly assumed she’s Bernie’s cousin or some shit. That seems precisely his brand of stupid.

    I don’t normally comment on this kind of thing, but she aged in the last six years or so. She’s younger than me but looks about 20 years older in that photo. Maybe it was all the chickens coming home to roost.
