Congressman Greg Steube, representing Florida's 17th district, shared his views on recent events via social media on December 8, 2024. His statements focused on disaster relief efforts and a high-profile trial in New York.
On December 8, 2024, Congressman Steube highlighted the impact of three major hurricanes—Debby, Helene, and Milton—that struck Florida this year. He noted that "families are still living under tarps and tents," emphasizing the struggle to rebuild after one of the deadliest hurricane seasons in history. In contrast, he pointed out that "Biden sends $1 billion in disaster relief to Africa," suggesting a misallocation of resources. The full tweet can be found here.
Later that day, Steube addressed Daniel Penny’s trial, which he believes reveals issues within New York's justice system. According to Steube's post from December 8, 2024: "Daniel Penny’s trial reveals the depths of corruption in New York’s justice system; A system warped by double standards, racial grievance politics, and political agendas." He further criticized Alvin Bragg for continuing his legal actions despite a dismissed manslaughter charge against Penny. The complete tweet is available here.
