NextImg:The Texas flooding blame game: Letters to the Editor — July 9, 2025

The Issue: The cause of flash-flooding fatalities in Texas, with many on the left blaming President Trump.

Democrats have become the scum of the earth (“Deranged Demonizers,” Editorial, July 8).

Sen. Chuck Schumer and cohorts are blaming President Trump for the Texas flooding.

They have no decency, and should all be removed from office.

In the aftermath of this absolutely terrible tragedy and the loss of many lives, do I have to hear our government clowns politicize such an awful event?

A time like this is for Americans to pull together — not go into the political spin game of blaming Trump.

Many people are grieving, and they shouldn’t have to hear a bunch of nonsensical idiots play the blame game.

At the end of the day, it is a weather event which happens all the time.

Oh boy: The Democrats really hit the ground blaming President Trump for the floods in Texas.

They should thank the almighty it wasn’t one of their children. How low has this party gone?

No wonder people are changing their affiliation and going Republican.

While a robust warning system is undoubtedly necessary, it’s important to also consider the historical context (“Critics try to blame Trump for weather,” Rich Lowry, July 8).

As Lowry highlights, the Guadalupe River has a long history of flooding, with hurricane remnants contributing to rainfall exceeding 15 inches on 19 occasions since 1913.

Given this history, one must ask: Why would anyone choose to build children’s camp cabins along the banks of a river in an area known as “flash-flood alley?”

How long is Trump going to blame every one of his failures on former President Joe Biden?

Despite the fact that extreme weather — such as long drought and resulting flash floods — are due to climate change and the deep cuts to the National Weather Service and FEMA are putting our citizens in danger, our Teflon Don continually refuses to man up to his responsibilities.

Carol Puttre-Czyz

The finger-pointing and hysteria following the horrific flooding in central Texas is deplorable and disgusting.

As it appears now, all the necessary steps were taken to warn people as far in advance as possible.

Could some things have been done differently?

Maybe — but hindsight is always 20/20.

This tragedy seems to be the result of unprecedented circumstances that no one foresaw, leaving almost no time to react.

Looking for people to blame is a waste of time and energy and is doing no one any good.

The tragic deaths of the Camp Mystic children are heartbreaking and some of the children are still missing and presumed dead.

Parents haven’t even had time to mourn their loss and bury their children.

Yet some stone-hearted left-wing zealots made political hay out of this sad occasion by blaming Trump for the tragedy.

Do these people have any shame?

Joseph Valente

I can’t even imagine how terrible the grief must be for those who lost family members in the devastating flood in Kerr County, Texas.

It must be even worse to know that if President Trump hadn’t fired meteorologists and weather forecasters in order to give tax cuts to billionaires, their loved ones might have been better forewarned and their deaths prevented.

The deadly Camp Mystic tragedy in Texas questions our lack of public-safety alerts in all publicly occupied spaces throughout our country.

Now is the time for a national review of all our early-warning safety-alert systems.

Our lives may be at risk when traveling to new destinations that do not have an early-warning system in place.
