Hurricane Harvey And The Potential Hypocrisy Of Texas Republicans

Posted: 28 Aug 2017 02:47 PM PDT

Hurricane Harvey And The Potential Hypocrisy Of Texas RepublicansWASHINGTON ― Texas Republicans, long accustomed to bashing the federal government, are already changing their tune now that Hurricane Harvey has devastated parts of their state. An emergency aid package hasn't surfaced yet, but Congress almost certainly will have to approve a spending bill to help those affected by the hurricane-force winds and widespread flooding in southeastern Texas. The question is whether that money will be offset by cuts to other government programs, whether extraneous spending will be attached to the package, and whether, under any circumstances, Texas Republicans will have a problem voting for it.

Hey, everyone, please shut up about Melania Trump's shoes

Posted: 29 Aug 2017 10:35 AM PDT

Hey, everyone, please shut up about Melania Trump's shoesThere are many things to be concerned about right now in Texas. Melania Trump's stilettos are not one of them. As the Trumps made their way to Air Force One on Tuesday morning to travel to Corpus Cristi, Texas, Twitter users couldn't help but comment that the first lady's choice of footwear wasn't appropriate under the circumstances.  Many called her fashion choice ignorant, considering the trip was part of disaster relief, but taking the time to troll Melania's heels isn't particularly productive either. SEE ALSO: Trump explains why he pardoned Joe Arpaio during a hurricane and oh please no After photographs of the two boarding Air Force One in Maryland started appearing online, people noticed that Donald was wearing a rain jacket and boots, while Melania donned fashionable cropped pants and stilettos. People couldn't help but call out the fact that the bold fashion choice seemed a bit insensitive to the disaster victims in Texas. Melania. Is. Wearing. Six. Inch. Stiletto. Heels. To. Visit. A. Disaster. Zone.These. People. Just....These. People. https://t.co/g6d4zGqWZU — emigre80 (@emigre80) August 29, 2017 What was your first clue that this Texas trip was to be nothing more than a fake, useless photo op?

Really? — evie litwok (@evielitwok) August 29, 2017 (Melania wobbles into shelter in 6-inch heels)"I here help. I bring you perfumes and chocolates." https://t.co/t8G4MP8zei — Jess Dweck (@TheDweck) August 29, 2017 Melania wearing stiletto heels on the way to a flooded mega city shows she isn't focused on helping. https://t.co/6Z4eozUs1k — 300 MHz (@VenusAsABun) August 29, 2017 The heels have caused such a stir in fact, that multiple photographs of just them have made their way to the wires. Really, people? Melania Trump wears high heels to board Air Force One en route to Texas.Image: JIM WATSON/AFP/Getty ImagesWhen there are much more serious problems in the world — like, you know, THE STORM — it begs the question: Why the heck are we talking about shoes? Here are some reasons why we should just let this one go: Melania had a change of shoes on Air Force One. By the time they landed in Corpus Christi, where Harvey made landfall, she'd changed into white sneakers. Some Houston residents have lost everything, a city has been completely displaced, and the death count from the storm is still rising. In comparison, this debate over appropriate footwear is utterly meaningless and isn't helping anyone. Team, the Trumps aren't going to Houston so it doesn't matter what heels FLOTUS wears. Also she can always change on AF1. https://t.co/3su0YpK4Ck — Yashar Ali  (@yashar) August 29, 2017 Oh em gee leave Melania alone folks. Makes our side look stupid. Save your comments for Arapaio, Putin, financial trails et al. — Sandee McMaster (@sandee_mcmaster) August 29, 2017 leave melania and her shoes alone. first of all it's not important and second she's probably trapped in a way few of us understand. — Kelly Eng (@boomereng) August 29, 2017 Like someone is going to ask Melania to clear rubble?!? 'Oh, sorry, I would have helped if I had my galoshes on!' Sheeeez.leave her alone — Pam Riste (@olystubbies44) August 29, 2017 According to a tweet from CNN's Kate Bennett, Melania's communications director released a statement condemning the criticism amidst an ongoing natural disaster. from @FLOTUS comms dir: "It's sad that we have an active and ongoing natural disaster in Texas, and people are worried about her shoes." — Kate Bennett (@KateBennett_DC) August 29, 2017 In the past the Trumps have made it very easy for people to troll them, what with everything from controversial magazine covers to pardoning convicted former sheriff Joe Arpaio right before Harvey "for the ratings." We get it. But there's a time and a place for criticism and for calling out behavior so inappropriate and disrespectful that it can't possibly be ignored. The time is not now. Now, the focus should remain on Houston, not heels. WATCH: Hurricane Harvey is the strongest hurricane to hit the US in 12 years
