Feds vs States

HILARIOUS elitism by @margbrennan @CBSNews claiming that Mississippians know less about emergency management than DC bureaucrats - all because her favorite Democrats in CA and NC have failed their constituents.@JDVance did a great job handling her condescending questions.

… disdain these people have for any Americans outside of their little bubble is so pathetic and revealing.



The most ironic part of this tone deaf elitism from Margaret Brennan is that our organization was founded BECAUSE the federal government sucks at disaster response. There's no need to be condescending about it. (Condescending means you talk down to people) 🫡💪

FEMAs failures go all the way back to Katrina. They have no respect for Southerners and have no idea what we're capable of, I've lived on the MS coast all my life. We were cleaning up the day after katrina, meanwhile FEMA couldn't get supplies to the Superdome. Give the money to…

… the states and let us handle it ourselves. FEMA should be nothing but a federal savings account.

Agree. Mississippi responses to emergencies has been a model for how much better equipped and capable the states are to respond.

FEMA has specialized expertise... that's laughable. They are specialists in ladling on the bureaucracy and red tape and not getting things done, I'll give them that.

Another pet peeve, there is only one Mississippi, not the “Mississippis” and she does the same with Kentucky. Lame. And Mississippi has been dealing with disasters better than most for as long as I can remember. Grew up on the Coast and lived through many hurricanes. I trust the…

… locals, the volunteers, MEMA, and the churches to get it done.

The states DO have that "specialized expertise" -- they developed them after FEMA kept on botching up disaster recovery operations.

And much of the procedures are PUBLISHED. Straightforward to implement, and non-federal costs are generally MUCH lower than federal costs.

Let’s get a boycott against CBS until this elitist is fired. She’s basically saying poor Southeners are too stupid to take care of themselves without Federal help. What a joke of a ‘journalist’ this clown is.

What an elitist snob she is.

Well golly gosh darn, Maggie-girl.

You, my dear, are an elitist piece of work, to be sure. You think you are so much smarter and better than the good people living in those "lower income" states. Why don't you check your ego at the door? All you are is a prissy talking head who…

… would never get her hands dirty while good people do the real work. These people are better than you will ever be. They are also 100% more responsive and willing to help their neighbors than anyone in your little bubble.
