The governor said that this disaster caused severe infrastructure damage, overwhelming amounts of debris, and hundreds of damaged homes.

“The destruction caused by these tornadoes is devastating. The Arkansans who lost their homes, businesses, and loved ones in this storm need help to get back on their feet and rebuild,” the governor said. “We are thankful for the leadership of President Trump, and I’m submitting this Major Disaster Declaration request and hope we can get additional assistance from the federal government.”

Note: Biden always gave Sanders 100% of the aid unlike previous admins only doing 50-75%.. Be interesting what Krasnov will do for her.

But he was black, highly educated, and a Democrat. So that was three strikes against him right there

Oh My Sarah. You’re asking for GOVERNMENT ASSISTANCE for a State Chock full of rugged individualists who want the government out of their lives. Mixed Messages Sarah, please explain. I Love my adopted home state of Arkansas. But hate what people like you do to it.

and you don't get to be exempt from his cuts. On the bright side, weather forecasting will get a lot worse with cuts. Hooray.

It's just a shame that those of us get to suffer along with those who voted for him.

Her resume before becoming Trump’s lying mouth piece, consisted of babysitting and hanging out w daddy’s friends….self proclaimed Christians like those creepy Duggars and other evangelical cultists.

She looked America square in the eyes, and lied straight faced, for money and power.

The Huckabees are an embarrassment to decent Arkansans and real Christian folks.

Devoid of moral scruples, this is not a nice lady.
