All of this is trying to cover the fact that the Trump admin is actually addressing HUrricane Harvey better than Obama and prior federal responses.

In the wake of Hurricane Harvey, a false story went viral claiming that Vice President Mike Pence opposed funding Hurricane Katrina relief while he was a member of the House of Representatives.
The story originated Tuesday on the left-wing site Daily Kos, where Democratic operative Scott Dworkin wrote a blog headlined, “WATCH: Pence Plead With Congress to Not Fund Hurricane Katrina Relief [sic].”
Included in the post was a video of a House floor speech Pence gave shortly after the disaster hit in 2005.
