Kristi Noem Dodges on Withholding Aid to Democrats--Blumenthal Fires Back - Liberal Lens

[Rhiannon12866]

In a tense Senate hearing, Senator Richard Blumenthal grills DHS Secretary Kristi Noem on whether she would deny federal disaster aid to states that didn’t vote for Donald Trump. Noem refuses to answer directly—raising fears about political favoritism, disaster relief being weaponized, and MAGA loyalty tests in life-or-death situations.

Senator Blumenthal calls out the dangerous precedent: If you’re a Democrat or live in a blue state, could your community be left to suffer in the next hurricane, wildfire, or flood? The exchange gets intense—and the implications are chilling.

📌 This isn’t just politics. It’s about the integrity of government aid, national unity, and whether American lives hang in the balance of partisan games.
