Rep. Carter: ‘Irresponsible Act’ if President Trump and ‘Co-President’ Elon Musk Are Abolishing FEMA

EXCERPT:

CARTER: "If you’re going to get rid of FEMA, then you have to replace it with a very similar program that will do the exact same thing that FEMA did. In Louisiana, we know we have storms that come, they stay longer, they come stronger, and they leave more havoc in their path. The thought that the people of Louisiana would not have the benefit of having FEMA to come in, or some like organization, to provide resources before, during and after a storm is an irresponsible act by this president and by his co-president, Elon Musk, who clearly knows nothing about government. And I question how much he actually knows about business if he thinks that he can go into any system, unilaterally remove employees, and not have a plan for someone to continue to do the functions of those people you’ve removed. You’ve got a national security at risk, you’ve got a health system at risk, you’ve got our farmers at risk, you’ve got research at risk. You’ve got our national security at risk."
