Joe Biden was caught lying about sending federal assistance to Texas, as reports found he failed to help for five consecutive days.
“So we’re going to sign that declaration once it’s in front of me, and God willing, it will bring a lot of relief to a lot of Texans,” Biden stated.
Despite Biden’s promises, on Tuesday Texas officials said he only sent some form of disaster relief to just 77 out of 254 counties in Texas. Biden also rejected a request by Gov. Greg Abbott (R-Texas) for a statewide emergency declaration, leaving most Texans on their own in the face of power outages.

We will consider whatever options. We need to figure out the strategy first.”
Reports said the limited federal aid is focused on the areas of Houston, Austin and Dallas. The White House and FEMA have yet to explain their selective approach to helping Texas.
Texas Voted Republican.
Biden cares less about such a State.
if he recognizes Texas as a State in teh Union at all.
