Democratic Party Ghouls
8th July 2025
The flash flood in central Texas is a terrible tragedy. The fact that so many of the victims are young girls adds to the heartbreak. In Texas, they are still searching for bodies and, one hopes, survivors, but the Democrats are already trying to make political hay.
Texas Democratic Rep. Julian Castro seized on the opportunity of the disaster to score political points at the GOP president’s expense, insisting “Trump’s cuts to the National Weather service should be investigated.”
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) echoed his colleague’s sentiment, demanding an investigation into whether “staffing shortages” at the agency resulted in a higher death toll in a letter to Acting Inspector General Roderick Anderson.
These responses are beneath contempt. They would be beneath contempt even if there had been cuts to the National Weather Service budget, but there haven’t been. They just made it up.
As they do.
