The Tragic Texas Flooding Exposes Media's Moral Decay and Misplaced Blame

The devastating Texas floods that killed more than 80 people, including young girls at Camp Mystic, revealed not only nature’s destructive power but also the disturbing politicization of tragedy. Despite substantial warnings from the National Weather Service, many victims were caught off guard, partly due to the sudden, overnight escalation and "warning fatigue" in the region.

Andrew Klavan condemns the left-leaning media and social commentators for using the disaster to attack President Trump and accused agencies falsely, highlighting sickening remarks celebrating the deaths of children. He stresses this behavior reflects a deep moral and ideological sickness, contrasting it with the heroism of rescuers risking their lives to save flood victims.

Klavan calls for mourning, faith, and decency instead of political exploitation, urging the media and individuals to prioritize empathy over ideology.
