Rep. Jo Crowley just said Trump cashed in on 9/11

He got $150k in federal funds earmarked for small businesses hurt by that tragic day. Even though he stated none of his businesses were affected.

Just when I thought he couldn't be anymore atrocious

And how could our government allow that to happen?!

but the claim is that he "Cashed in" i.e. that he may have had a technical legal right to the money, but he didn't have a real need, that money could have gone to someone else, and he certainly played no leadership role in rebuilding NY or helping after 9/11.
