Republicans look to play political games with the suffering of California fire victims - Alex Wagner - MSNBC

Congressional Republicans have picked up on Donald Trump's animosity toward the state of California and are now suggesting that any federal aid to help in the recovery from historic, deadly, devastating fires should come with conditions as well as political strings attached.
