Following a tweet in which President Trump threatened to pull FEMA out of Puerto Rico, 69 Republicans voted against additional aid for the territory.
This number is actually down from the 90 House Republicans that voted against the initial aid package.
Puerto Rico faces potentially six months without power after the hurricanes that have devastated the island. The most recent, Hurricane Maria, has claimed 45 lives. 117 other Puerto Ricans remain unaccounted for. CNN reports that the response from the US has been so lackluster their team of journalists was mistaken for FEMA.
But while leaders of both parties in the house called for aid for the American territory to be increased, President Trump and 69 House Republicans are signaling a lack of concern for Puerto Rico’s future.
One of the opponents of the aid package is, Rep. Mark Walker (R-North Carolina), who wrote an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal that equated hurricane relief with going to the hospital and being unable to pay medical bills (a thing that regularly happens).
Six Texas Republicans were also among the opponents to the aid, despite the largely supportive response Texas has received for its own disaster relief in the wake of Hurricane Harvey.
And Rep. Mike Johnson (R-Louisiana) voted against support for Puerto Rico despite the fact that FEMA still has a presence in his state left over from Hurricane Katrina in 2005.

CNN went on to break down the basic services and necessities of life that Puerto Rico is lacking that failed to move these 69 Representatives to act, like food, water, medicine, power infrastructure, and other needs.
Despite the words of Trump and the votes of these 69 Republicans, over $36 Billion was allocated to additional disaster relief for Puerto Rico and other areas still recovering from natural disasters.
