Arkansas Tornadoes and FEMA FAFO

2 weeks ago Arkansas Gov Sarah Sanders asked FEMA for assistance. Several tornadoes ripped through rural Arkansas causing a lot of damage to rural areas, Cave City to name one.
Gov Sanders has heard nothing from FEMA....
Classic tale of FAFO

“As long as I am your governor, the meddling hand of big government creeping down from Washington DC will be stopped cold at the Mississippi River.“

Pathetic your asking the Feds for assistance. Lead it Sarah. Your the boss of Arkansas. Your god has turned “it” back to the states. States Rights, Yeehaw.

I had dealings with FEMA after Katrina in South Mississippi. In our small spot on the planet they were a welcome blessing
