It'll be interesting to hear what South Carolina's two senators say when South Carolina needs hurricane relief again- as it assuredly will one day.

Think Progress found 31 of the 36 senators opposing the hurricane aid have requested mergency relief for their states in the past, among them-

Lindsey Graham (R-SC): Requested disaster relief after freezing and boasted of obtaining emergency drought relief.
