<p>What made this vote tally even more inexplicable than the Senate, however, is that four Republican representatives <i>in Texas</i> voted against the measure.</p>

<p lang="en" dir="ltr">4 Texas House Republicans voted against the Harvey/CR/debt limit increase deal.</p>

<p>The Texans who voted “no” <a href="https://twitter.com/twpolk/status/906178115541618688">were</a> Sam Johnson, Jeb Hensarling, Joe Barton, and Mac Thornberry — all of whom represent congressional districts in the northern parts of the state, which experienced little or no damage from the storm.</p>
<p>When pressed, Thornberry gave the implausible excuse that he thought the bill did not go far enough in military spending:</p><div class="share-content" id="share-1270087002"><!-- /3925315/shareblue-in-post -->

<p><script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<p>Not only did these lawmakers reject critical funding that is necessary to keep the government and the <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2017/08/30/debt-ceiling-would-be-more-catastrophic-than-lehman-s-and-p-says.html">entire economy</a> functional, but they heartlessly denied desperately needed aid to their neighbors just a couple of hours south of their districts.</p>
<p>Even Sen. Ted Cruz, who led the charge to <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/how-cruzs-plan-to-defund-obamacare-failed--and-what-it-achieved/2016/02/16/4e2ce116-c6cb-11e5-8965-0607e0e265ce_story.html?utm_term=.2a9a9a64844a">shut down the government</a> in 2013, and who voted to <a href="https://shareblue.com/ted-cruz-spends-week-lashing-out-at-people-who-catch-him-lying-about-hurricane-relief/">deny disaster relief for Hurricane Sandy</a>, was not cruel enough to refuse aid to his fellow Texans.</p>
<p>These House Republicans ought to ask themselves what they are even doing in a position of public service, if they are opposed to the most basic, fundamental role of government in helping the public.</p>
