President Trump denied a request from the governor of Minnesota for federal funds to help pay for the nearly half-billion in damages incurred during the Black Lives Matter riots and looting.
The governor and the mayor literally watched the cities burn.
Governor Walz asked President Trump to declare the state a “major disaster,” which would release funds to help repair the more than $500 million in damages.
The President denied that request.
“The Governor is disappointed that the federal government declined his request for financial support,” the governor’s spokesman Teddy Tschann said in a statement. “As we navigate one of the most difficult periods in our state’s history, we look for support from our federal government to help us through.”
The mayor of Minneapolis said they don’t need police, and the governor does not support them. They’re incompetent.
Businesses, grocery stores, pharmacies, and post offices were damaged. The damage to the Twin Cities after St. Floyd’s death was the second most destructive incident of civil unrest in U.S. history, after the 1992 riots in Los Angeles, the Star Tribune reported.
Unless the officials agree to continue a police department and agree to let police do their job, maybe the federal government is right in not providing funds. What do you think?
Rep. Duncan doesn’t want the federal taxpayer to pay for the damage that would not have happened if the officials were competent:
Great news! @realDonaldTrump has DENIED Minnesota’s disaster request to repair half a billion dollars in damage from the riots. Governors and Mayors who ordered police to stand down and watch their cities burn shouldn’t get a penny in taxpayer aid! https://t.co/8WAgm7AFa7

I say cut all the state politicians pay by 50% raise the state income tax by 50% and then sue these subversive Marxist mobs and let the likes of George Soros, Tom Styer, Bill Gates and all those Hollywood snobs pay the bill. Being that they support these dregs.
The people of Minnesota need to remove these Marxist libtard thugs from office before any aid whatsoever is granted by he federal government.They not only stood by while their cities burned but actively incited and encouraged the burning,looting and mayhem that continues to this day.Any federal funds would not go to those who were injured but siphoned off to feed… Read more »
The audacity of these incompetent idiot clowns…or malevolent Marxists actually victimizing their enemies, the hard working taxpayer a second time, by literally asking them to fund this revolution that is directed at them..
Trump should send the Governor a Jackson $20 bill, as a sign.
The governor being a Democrat, it’s likely that President Trump’s denial of disaster funds may someday (before November 3rd) be deemed a political move by those undeserving decision makers that turned down the help offered by the White House early in the saga and then stood by and watched as the city was burned, stores were looted and the police… Read more »
Amen !!!
AweSOME!! Let them squirm, let them now beg Daddy Warbucks George. Love it!
I think the state should pay to rebuild the businesses that were destroyed by their stupidity, but also the Federal gov might reach out to the businesses also, it wasn’t their fault that they were targeted
Just who voted the libs into office?
Who voted for them? The people whose homes and businesses were destroyed and the people who live around the parks in Minneapolis that have been taken over by parasites and the crime is soaring. They’re all learning first hand how all that feel good liberalism is working for them and I don’t care about those fools.
