The Telegraph Herald's hero Rod Blum (R-Douche) voted against aid for Puerto Rico and California

The House approved an $36.5 billion aid package for hurricane-ravaged Puerto Rico and to fight wildfires out west, with Rep. Rod Blum as the lone Iowan voting against it.

H.R. 569 gives $18 billion to Puerto Rico for emergency response efforts after Hurricane Maria. It still needs approval from the Senate.

The bill would also put $576 million towards firefighting efforts in California.

Rep. Rod Blum was the only Iowan among the 69 votes against the relief package. He said his no vote centered on the $16 billion included for the Federal Flood Insurance Program to pay off debt. The program is already $24.6 billion in debt before any claims from Hurricane Harvey or Irma. Congress is debating how to fix the program with a December deadline to keep it afloat.

The article goes on to note how he was in favor of aid when it was cleaning up after Harvey and Irma.

Hell he must be trying to out douche nozzle King.
