There it is.
Over the weekend, CNN’s Dana Bash floated the notion that the devastation from the Texas flood was caused by climate change and the Trump Administration.
In her telling, the floods were not acts of God but acts of Trump.
Bash was joined by Rep. Joaquin Castro (D-TX) on State of the Union.
“How much do you think the changing climate is part of what we are seeing go on here, not just what we’re seeing in the pictures that we’re showing on the screen?” Bash asked. “But even the flood that you talked about in San Antonio in June.”
“I think climate change is obviously a part of it,” Castro agreed. “These floods are happening more often in more parts of the country and really all over the world. And so we have to face that reality and be better prepared for it and combat it.”
“And just talking about the federal government and even the local government, two Texas National Weather Service offices involved in forecasting and warning about flooding on the Guadalupe River are missing some key staff members,” Bash continued, suggesting that the Trump administration had prevented proper communication and adequate warning time.
“A director of the NWS Union told CNN that the Austin and San Antonio office is missing a warning coordination meteorologist due to the Trump administration’s buyouts,” Bash continued. “Do you have any indication whether those or any other cuts helped play a role in the fact that the people in the flood zone were not prepared and certainly not evacuated?”

Meanwhile, multiple reports suggest that the National Weather Service (NWS) had extra staff on hand to monitor the situation properly.
