When former Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey requested federal aid for Hurricane Sandy in 2012, Paul criticized Christie for having a "gimme, gimme, gimme," attitude. In 2017, the Senate passed a disaster relief bill for Hurricanes Harvey, Irma, and Maria, with Paul being one of 17 senators — all Republicans — who voted No. Paul, speaking against the bill, said "People here will say they have great compassion and they want to help the people of Puerto Rico, the people of Texas, and the people of Florida. But notice they have great compassion with somebody else's money." Aaron Rupar, former journalist at Vox, wrote on Twitter, "Turns out, @RandPaul, that people can't bootstrap their way out of a storm destroying their house."

Kentucky's Rand Paul and Thomas Massie Sure Have Balls For Asking For Disaster Aid For Kentucky
These two bastards have opposed disaster assistance for large hurricanes for the last decade if the storms focused their damage on blue areas: Sandy, Harvey, Irma, Maria - all of them! These GOP clowns treat disaster assistance as a red state piggy bank. It's time to smack them in the face! The hell with them!:
