Discussion: King Portrays Hurricane Katrina Victims As Helpless, Reliant On Handouts

1 Like

The death toll from the storm is very uncertain, but most cite figures between the high 900s and 1,836 — either way, it is undoubtedly one of the deadliest hurricanes in modern American history. It is widely remembered as a FEMA disaster, from an egregiously late response to emergency shelter trailers infested with asbestos.

Definitely not one of Obama's finer hours.

One of the most cruel and heartless utterances I have ever heard from a public official.

Not sure if paying attention to this SOB is advisable. We should not become an outrage mill like the website of Fox News.

Can you be a decent human being and vote for Steve King? I say not. Ergo, Iowans are as despicable as King.

I guess one could say that Steve King is one of those indifferent Roman Catholics.

Odd, I thought King kept explaining how white people are the real victims. Hmm…

The self reliant people of Iowa have never taken one dollar in federal hurricane relief funds.

Going to say that about the Hamburg, Iowa flood victims too Steve?

Hamburg, Iowa has been begging for federal funds to rebuild their levee because it’s a small town and have little resources to rebuild it themselves.Is begging for handouts okay if you’re mostly a white community?
Or the Missouri and Nebraska flood victims…are they helpless too?

Psychopathy can be societally induced. We are learning to see that. This is why Trump must go. He is the perfect person that Vlad picked to make the country literally “go mad”.

Even better, they’ve never taken one federal dime in crop subsidies.

Really ???

The sickness is that in order for themselves to feel potent, they have to degrade other people.

In other news, King demands to know why the poor, disadvantaged, and neglected don’t have money to build houses and pay for stuff.
