Rep. Pete Sessions, R-Texas, told Newsmax Monday that he’s “very proud” of the way Texans are coming together to help each other following the catastrophic flooding in Kerr County over the weekend that killed more than 80 people, including dozens of young girls who were attending summer camp on the banks of the Guadalupe River.
“I’m very proud of Gov. [Greg] Abbott,” Sessions said on “Wake Up America.” “I’m very proud of the job that is being done by law enforcement, first responders. We saw with great heroism the Coast Guard that came to help, plucking people out [with] helicopters, 120 people that were up in trees, way up, 40 feet up. And this is what happens when you have neighbors helping neighbors.”
“This is what I think President [Donald] Trump has given us back — a spirit of helping each other in our time of need,” he said. “And the federal government, I know, is there also. So very, very pleased with the response so far.”
