Al Sharpton: The Texas Flooding Incident Happened as the Trump Admin Is Making Deep Cuts to Weather Forecasting Services

‘Shifting more of the burden for disaster recovery from FEMA to state governments’

RUSH EXCERPT:
SHARPTON: "Now we’re following breaking news this weekend out of Texas hill country. Governor abbott held a news conference just in the last hour. Authorities are searching for more than two dozen people missing from a girls summer camp after flash floods. That left at least 32 people dead. Authorities are being questioned over whether the camp had sufficient warning about the severe weather. The incident comes as the Trump Administration is making deep cuts to weather forecasting services and openly discussing, shifting more of the burden for disaster recovery from FEMA to state governments. How concerned are you in light of this? And we’re all praying for the families, but how concerned are you in light of this? With the country’s readiness for extreme weather right now heading into the hurricane season?"
