Grimm blasts Paul over Kentucky senator’s Sandy aid comments
US Rep. Michael Grimm stepped into the ongoing Republican Party feud between US Senator Rand Paul and New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, calling remarks the Kentucky senator made about the Congress-approved Superstorm Sandy relief package taking funding away from national defense “disgraceful.”
Grimm (R-C-Bay Ridge-Dyker Heights-Staten Island) said he was speaking out as a representative of a district where residents suffered devastating damage in the Oct. 29 storm.
“Senator Rand Paul’s remarks are disgraceful. I saw the Sandy devastation with my own eyes. I comforted those who lost children and husbands, and others who lost every treasured possession they own,” Grimm said on July 29.
