🐂💩 incoming: After disasters like the Texas flood, Trump reflexively blames Biden [View all]
After disasters like the Texas flood, Trump reflexively blames Biden (CNN)(CNN) — White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt on Monday drew a hard line against quickly blaming the government in the midst of a tragedy – in this case, the deadly floods in Texas.
“Many Democrat elected officials are trying to turn this into a political game; it is not,” Leavitt said, amid suggestions linking the tragedy to Trump’s cuts to the National Weather Service.

Less than 24 hours before Leavitt’s comments, though, it was her boss, Trump, who was levying blame – not on the incumbent government, but the previous one.
“If you look at that water situation, that was really the Biden setup,” Trump said.
