‘Sugar Daddy’s Gone’: GOP Senator Demands ‘Stipulations’ On CA Wildfire Aid, Details How Trump Admin Will Step In

Alabama Republican Sen. Tommy Tuberville said Tuesday on Fox News that federal aid for the Southern California wildfires needs to have “stipulations,” detailing how President-elect Donald Trump’s administration is expected to handle the process.

Wildfires in Los Angeles County broke out on Jan. 7, ripping through the area, and it is believed it will cost the state more than $250 billion in damages. On “The Ingraham Angle,” host Laura Ingraham called out some corporate media defenses claiming that Republicans were politicizing the situation.

“What a disaster, Laura. They have no governance there. They have no leadership. You see what’s going on in all these blue cities and blue states around the country, and they just got outed again in California,” Tuberville said. “They get outed every year of what they’ve done and what they’ve not done. Chuck Schumer, since I’ve been here, has been their sugar daddy.”

“He’s bailed them out with the CARES Act in 2021 — $30 million, $40 million, a billion dollars. He bailed them out because they’re dead broke. We turn around with the Inflation Reduction Act. We did the same thing a couple years ago. We bailed them out again. Folks, their sugar daddy’s gone,” Tuberville added.

Tuberville had told Newsmax on Monday that while he supported sending the money to the Democratic state, he clarified it wouldn’t “deserve” the aid if the leadership didn’t make some type of change. Both Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom and Democratic Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass have been heavily criticized
