‘You walked off the job’: Texas Dem Gene Wu shot-chasers himself right in the face over the COVID-19 hospitalization crisis

SHOT ...
Texas House Demo Gene Wu, who we’ve been posting about for weeks now as he’s in D.C. on a flee-ibuster to prevent legislation he doesn’t like from passing, called on his Republican colleagues to do more to help with the ongoing COVID-19 crisis in his state:
Gene Wu @GeneforTexas ~ What are Texans' Republican leaders doing to help with the new COVID19 hospitalization crisis? --- NOTHING
Governor Abbott can find $250 million for "THE WALL", but there's no money for dying Texans.

Interesting snippet from the WFAA article:
State officials previously approved requests from regional hospital councils. The Department of State Health Services spent $5.39 billion funding requests for medical surge staffing, almost all of which reimbursed by FEMA, according to a spokesperson. At the peak of needs in February, the state was supporting 13,618 medical staff.
Now the state is denying those requests and telling hospitals to ask city and county leaders to use federal COVID relief funds, but local leaders had much of that money already accounted for. Dallas County has not approved its plan but is expected to use its $512 million on programs like broadband infrastructure, affordable housing, and business assistance.
Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins said they plan to appeal to the state to ask them to reverse the decision.
"We had planned to use the money to increase broadband, for mental health care, for rental assistance and other programs. What the state is saying is ‘we’re not going to help you anymore with COVID through mask requirements or allowing hospitals and schools to do things to keep people safe," Jenkins said. “Their excuse to us is that they’re using their money to help other jurisdictions. Not real clear what those other jurisdictions are.” ...
“Local governments across Texas now have access to more than $10 billion in federal Coronavirus Local Fiscal Recovery Funds that are available to pay for urgent COVID-19 response needs, including medical surge staffing,” Chris Van Deusen, a DSHS spokesperson said in an email. “As always, emergency response begins at the local level. Encouraging health care facilities to utilize the resources already available within their communities will ensure the response can be as flexible as possible.”
First of all ... some truth in advertising ... Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins is a sleazy, lying sack-o-sh!t. These local Democrat jerk-offs, like Jenkins, want to spend bazillions they've already been given on their pet Socialist projects, instead of hospital staffing for the uptick in Covid cases. So, naturally, they want more money from the state, instead of rearranging their Socialist priorities ... and they whine and bitch like lil' teenage girls.
But, now ... the other shoe drops ... on Gene Wu's flat head ...
Matt Schaefer ~ Actually there is about $17 billion in federal COVID relief money that hasn’t been appropriated yet. We will need a quorum to do the appropriating. But you walked off the job ... #txlege
OUCH! Truth hurts, don't it, Gene?!
