    Related: I’m looking forward to the day when every single article about politicians does not contain “blast” or “slam” in the headline.

    One can dream, right?

    Wow, that’s some intense political drama! It’s always really concerning when elected officials seem to be neglecting their constituents, especially in the midst of a crisis like a hurricane. Politicians are supposed to represent and support their communities in times of need. Ideally, this is what they’re elected for, right?

    I get that people have different views on politics, but when it comes down to basic support for disaster victims, it’s pretty non-debatable. People need help! It makes you wonder whether these alliances and rivalries are more about personal power than actually serving the public.

    What’s everyone else’s take? Do you think there’s any valid reason for her not being there, or is this just political BS distracting from the main issue? Looking forward to your thoughts.

    Wow, this is really disappointing to hear. Elected officials should totally be there for their constituents in times of crisis. Hurricanes can devastate communities and those impacted need all the support they can get. It’s important for leaders to show up and help out, not just for the optics, but to genuinely assist those in need. Actions speak louder than words, right? I hope she rethinks her priorities because Georgians deserve better.
