Gary Peters Grills Markwayne Mullin On Trump's 'Unprecedented Politicization' Of Disaster Relief

Published | Video Starts at 05:21

And you see, this chart is pretty dramatic. Senator Peters, the time has expired, but please answer his question. Senator Peters, that's not my experience with the president. As I said, We've had 37 states approved for public assistance disaster underneath President Trump and everyone, with the exception of two because they didn't quite qualify, that was blue that was brought in front of him. He approved including a large number, in fact, one of the largest numbers approved for Washington State and Hawaii. Just briefly, I mean, this, this chart, I think, speaks volumes. (05:21–05:35)
