Really important to get Trump on the record about this. He will extort the people of Baltimore and Maryland and their leaders if he takes over during the rebuilding.

From the earliest days of 2021, I’ve said Biden should make a point of reminding people that Trump didn’t treat all American disaster victims equally, that the GOP was complicit in those abuses of power, and that he’d re-establish the old norm. Now would be a good time to start.
@brianbeutler Has he said anything bizarre & inappropriate about it yet?
@brianbeutler Yeah, wait until he finds out what Baltimore’s demographics are…
@brianbeutler Oh, some sort of verbal pledge, what weight would that carry
@brianbeutler its a blue state, it won't get rebuilt
@brianbeutler @MattGertz As if “the record” means anything to Trump. He says opposite things in the same sentence. He must never be allowed power ever again. Getting him on the record is absolutely laughable
@brianbeutler We should also make sure that Larry Hogan, the GOP Senate candidate, would, if elected, not stand for Trump extorting the state.
@brianbeutler @MattGertz Has Hogan reacted yet? I know he’s running for senator.
@brianbeutler How would getting him on record change this outcome? I mean, gosh, just imagine if he ended up just lying and extorted them anyway? That's probably a super rare possibility, right?
