… a 3 minute call from President Biden to @TDEM @ChiefKidd . Chief Kidd was sitting next to me as we waited for the president’s call. I spoke to the president from 11:49 a.m. to 11:52 a.m. on Chief Kidd’s phone. The reason they called Chief Kidd was puzzling to me since they had just been given my cell phone number. @FEMA had called a TDEM employee roughly 10 minutes before my call with the president asking for my personal phone number. My team gave FEMA my cell number and my chief of staff’s phone number. Yet, the president still called Chief Kidd’s phone 10 minutes later instead of calling of me. I spent all weekend working alongside FEMA employees at the State Operations Center in Austin. They are good men and women, but they never said the president was trying to reach me. The president could have simply called his own FEMA employees who were working with me for 3 days before, during, and after the hurricane. If they wanted to find me, I was easily found. I was where I was supposed to be, at the state operations center, day and night, in plain sight. Gov. Abbott did not hear from the president during Hurricane Beryl either. Gov. Abbott tweeted that the president has his phone number and called him as recently as Memorial Day. But, he did not call Abbott either during the hurricane. To suggest that the president could not find me or the governor is ridiculous. The bottom line is this: I asked for a federal disaster declaration at the proper time without delay and the president agreed. Sadly, President Biden is attacking Gov. Abbott and me, trying to score political points, for reasons that make no sense. Mr. President, as you like to say, “C’mon, man!†#txlege |
