'This is what they voted for': Red state voters mocked on MSNBC after new Trump proposal
Reacting to comments Donald Trump made while doing photo-ops in hurricane-ravaged North Carolina on Friday, where he repeatedly claimed he would give consideration to shutting down the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the two hosts of MSNBC's "The Weekend" stated MAGA voters may one day regret voting for him.
“I think we’re going to recommend that FEMA go away,” the president proposed while suggesting he would like states to take over FEMA's responsibilities individually.
Noting that it has lately been red states that have been hit by natural disasters, including the wide swath of conservative states that reside in the so-called "tornado alley," hosts Symone Sanders Townsend and Michael Steele suggested voters in those states who approve of Trump won't like what comes next if he makes good on his promise.

"Florida," co-host Sanders Townsend interrupted.
"All of those states." Steele agreed. "Then we get into tornado alley. Those states: Ohio, Iowa ––so y'all going to be prepared to just have the federal government just go away in terms of its response and leave it to you? I just want to know how they're going to pay for it."
"How are they going to pay for it?" his co-host repeated. "Well, you know, Michael, you know, they say this is what this is what they voted for. "
"This is what they voted for," repeated her colleague.
