Democrats blame Trump, climate change for Texas floods by killing 80

Democrats and the media across the country were quick to politicize devastating floods in Texas who killed at least 91 people by blaming climate change, President Trump, race and government cups.

“It is difficult to aggravate the tragedy of the floods of Texas, except to know that the same day, Trump signed a bill which chats with solar and wind energy which is vital in the battle against climate change, which makes these torrential rains more frequent,” said the former governor of Washington, Jay Inslee Posted on X Saturday when the bodies were still recovered from Texas.

“I think climate change is obviously part,” said Dem. Representative Joaquin Castro said to cnn. “These floods occur more often.”

“” Waste, fraud and abuses “are a practical mantra”, the former assistant of Obama David Axelrod Posted on X Sunday. “And they surely exist, in and outside the government. But the reduction of vital services as the meteorological service has predictable and dangerous consequences – especially when catastrophic weather events become more frequent!”

“Precise weather forecasts help avoid fatal disasters”, Senator Chris Murphy, D-Conn., Posted on X In response to information according to which a specific meteorologist position in the region was not filled at the time of the flood. “There are consequences on Trump’s brainless attacks on civil servants, such as meteorologists.”

Murphy was one of the many criticisms on the left to invoke the name of Trump.

“It only took Trump’s cuts to (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) to kill dozens of children in Texas when Tropical Storm Barry landed this week,” said Grant Stern, the editor of the Occupy Democrats, Written on X.

“The inhabitants of Texas voted for the government services controlled by Donald Trump and Greg Abbott,” added Ron Filipkowski, a former federal prosecutor and editor -in -chief of MediaSouchNews. “This is exactly what they (sic) get.”

Isaiah Martin, a Democratic candidate for the 18th District of Texas at the Congress, called for an immediate survey of the Congress on “The Republican Cups at the Noaa and the National Weather Service”.

“We have seen the effects (sic) this weekend,” wrote Martin on X. “Trump has financed these agencies and we ask for answers. There must be a fast *!”

“Trump & Musk has emptied the National Weather Service. The result was predictable: a bad forecast leading to the death of children in a horrible flood,” added the state of California Scott Wiener.

In addition, several media have joined the Democrats to blame the budget cuts and suggest that the National Weather Service has subtyonal Associated press report That said, the NWS office in the region had additional personnel in service at the time of the floods.

“Reminder: staff shortages in the offices of San Angelo and San Antonio of the National Weather Service have doubled under the Trump administration”, the official story of the Democratic Party Written on x In an article that was castigated by the conservatives on social networks. “These jobs aim to coordinate the response to disasters and save lives.”

“The elimination of the great bill on laws and reductions on climate action in the National Weather Service could not arrive at a worse moment, because the fatal flood in Texas showed it,” said representative Frank Pallone, Dn.J., Posted on X. “These incidents are likely to worsen because republicans ignore the reality of climate change.”

Some have incorporated the race into the equation, including Sade Perkins, a former member of the Houston Food Insecurity Board, who suggested in a Strongly criticized video The intense media coverage of the event was because the young girls who were killed in a summer camp on the flood path were white.

Several meteorologists have pushed back in recent days on democratic claims that the Trump administration cuts to the NOA, NWS and other government agencies has directly contributed to tragedy.

“The event has nothing to do with climate change”, the meteorologist Chris Martz Posted on X. “And, the tragedy had nothing to do with the Doge Cups. If you are someone who exploited this disaster because you just don’t like Trump, you have to take a serious look in the mirror.”

Tom Fahy, Legislative Director of the Organization of National Weather Service employees, told NBC News that the offices of meteorological forecasts were adequately endowed with personnel, and “they published forecasts and warnings in time leading to the storm”, but he added that the non -filled management positions were “clearly a concern”.

“All I would say is that. The National Weather Service has published flood surveillance for Kerr’s county more than 12 hours before catastrophic flood. A lightning flood warning was issued for Hunt & Ingram 3 hours before the start of the Guadalupe,” said Texas -based meteorologist, Avery Tomasco. “They did their jobs and they did it well.”

White House The spokesman Abigail Jackson called him “shameful and disgusting” to see that, following this tragedy, people politicize what happened.

“It is shameful and disgusting that in the wake of the tragedy, the first instinct of the left is to lie and politicize a disaster to target their political opponents. False claims on the NWS have been demystified several times by meteorologists, experts and other public reports,” said Jackson. “The NWS has done their job, even by monitoring floods more than 12 hours in advance.
