And my favorite quote, when another Republican rep started jumping on the reporter after Trump’s initial dig:
Conservative Rep. Chip Roy took a moment to slam the media while speaking.
“For all of the media clamoring to ask that ridiculous first question and try to point fingers, the governor said it best when he said pointing fingers is for losers,” the GOP lawmaker said.

Edit: looks like we have a real answer, and this is likely why Donald was extra-quick to lash out at that first reporter. Excerpt taken from this article
In 2021, the Biden administration awarded Kerr County $10.2 million in American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds, which could have been used for flood prevention infrastructure. But commissioners, facing political pressure from conservative residents, opted not to pursue a warning system.
At an April 2022 meeting, one citizen called the White House a “criminal treasonous communist government,” urging the county to reject the money altogether. Others echoed that sentiment, saying they didn’t want the federal government’s help.
“We don’t want to be bought by the federal government, thank you very much,” a resident said. “We’d like the federal government to stay out of Kerr County and their money.”
While the county ultimately kept the funds, they allocated the majority, about $8 million, to sheriff’s department upgrades and public employee stipends.
I for one am shocked that Joe “fund the police” Biden signed a law that allowed for federal money to be wasted on cop bullshit! Gosh, if only someone has told us there were better ways to protect public safety. Like maybe some protesters or activists somewhere could have said something? I’m sure we would have listened to them and taken them seriously, and we definitely would not have tear gassed them and beat them and shot them with rubber bullets and etc.
Do you always jump in with completely irrelevant talking points?
The money was givem to them as part of ARPA funding and the county misused it. Biden isn’t relevant any more. Stop whining about the past and work for a better future.

So they took the “criminal communist” money and misused it to buy shit for themselves. Fucking clowns.
BTW, there’s an opportunity for a huge ass civil lawsuit.
