BREAKING : Heartless Obama Rejects Florida’s Request For Orlando Aid Post-Terror Attack

By Scott Mason – Western Journalism

The Obama administration has denied a request for federal emergency funds to be sent to Florida in the wake of the Orlando nightclub shooting that left 49 dead and 53 injured, much of which would have gone to assist the victims of the June 12 attack. The state’s Republican governor is not happy about it, declaring it is “unthinkable that President Obama does not define this as an emergency.”

Gov. Rick Scott had requested $5 million in federal funds under the Stafford Act to help with “emergency response efforts, law enforcement response, emergency medical care, counseling services and other social services to assist victims.”

The Obama administration authorized only $253,000 to be sent in order to pay for the overtime of those who worked during the crisis.

In a press release on the issue, Scott said, “It is incredibly disappointing that the Obama Administration denied our request for an Emergency Declaration. Last week, a terrorist killed 49 people, and wounded many others, which was the deadliest shooting in U.S. history. It is unthinkable that President Obama does not define this as an emergency. We are committing every state resource possible to help the victims and the community heal and we expect the same from the federal government.”
