WATCH: KEY QUOTES: “The fact that WNC has had to wait 83 days for disaster aid is just ridiculous and it’s a disgrace.” “We’ve got people living in tents. We have delayed FEMA trailers. It’s time to get beyond these political games.” “The initial CR – which is now dead – was a mess. It was a 1,500 page insult to taxpayers.” “For anything to pass, it has to have disaster aid for Western North Carolina to get my support.” ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T19:07:19Z |
