Texas Land Commissioner Slams Politicization of Deadly Floods: “Shame on You”

In the wake of catastrophic flooding that has claimed at least 82 lives in central Texas, Texas Land Commissioner Dawn Buckingham is calling out those politicizing the tragedy. In a passionate interview with Newsmax, Buckingham condemned misinformation and partisan finger-pointing, urging Americans to come together and focus on helping victims. “This is not the time for political BS,” she said, adding that those spreading lies “are not fit to lead.” Praising the swift coordination between local, state, and federal teams, including Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, Buckingham emphasized the strength and unity of Texans amid heartbreaking loss — including the disappearance of her best friend’s niece.
