Tom Cotton and Sarah Huckabee Sanders have met the leopards, and are whining like 3 year olds whose mom just told them she's not buying them candy.

He, of course, had voted against federal assistance to any blue state, but now he's begging for assistance for Arkansas, and has been turned down, being told the damage wasn't bad enough for the feds to get involved, and they need to use state funds

Enjoying an extra large serving of schadenfreude at the moment. It is delicious.
