Rep. Tom Tiffany thought he had the perfect double own on them dang libs when he squatted over his phone and xitted this post out:
Biden admin a month ago: Sorry, we don't have enough money to help American hurricane victims.
Biden admin yesterday: We are building a passenger train in Lima, Peru. https://t.co/neTKG7wYyH— Rep. Tom Tiffany (@RepTiffany) November 17, 2024
Oh, what a card he is!
Only problem is he is wrong not just once, nor twice, but thrice!
His comment about North Carolina was a double no go. First of all, FEMA said they had enough money for North Carolina after Hurricane Helene. They also pointed out that there was not enough money for a third disaster because the Republicans refused to fund them.
And thirdly, as the community note points out, the United States is not building a new transit line for Lima. They are selling off an old train system to Lima for a nice tidy $6.3 million because the US bought a brand new and improved train. And Caltrain is reporting a jump in ridership on their new state of the art train and Lima is getting an affordable train that will help with their economy as well.
