Rep. Matt Rosendale (R-Mont.) said that Congress could reallocate funds intended for Ukraine to FEMA for hurricane relief but the government refused to do so.

Rosendale stated on the TV show “Just the News, No Noise,” that “we can take the funds that were earmarked for Ukraine and direct them to FEMA, specifying that they are for emergency services provided for the people who have suffered from this hurricane.”

According to The New York Post, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas stated Wednesday that FEMA does not “have the funds” for Americans to be helped during the remainder of hurricane season.

Rosendale stated that funds intended for Ukraine could be used to rebuild utilities and roads.

He said that the federal government would only act quickly if it chose to.
