I am of the opinion that the mayor wants FEMA money so he can use it as a slush fund to reward his dem voters

Dear Lester Holt and any other newscaster that feels the need to criticize our governor and/or mayors:
We are a big, big city. We have twice as many people in Houston than you have in Manhattan. We are 2200 square miles big. We are experiencing what could possibly be the worse storm in history. Our roads are flooded, our houses are under siege and there is no end in sight for the next couple of days. We don’t need you or any other liberal newscaster coming down here to try to stir things up. Evacuation decisions were made to try to keep the roads open for coastal residents who had to evacuate. With this historic flooding, Texans are bringing their boats into the city to help get fellow Texans to safety. We aren’t looking to affix blame, we are trying to survive and help one another. If you aren’t here to help, get the hell out. We don’t need your petty, snarky comments meant to sow seeds of division. We don’t operate that way down here and we don’t like people that do.
Sincerely,
The Great State of Texas and Houstonians
She said it all.. get your wallet out and send some money..
