No matter. Despite zero evidence, partisan ghouls are already blaming the crash on Republicans and “lack of funding.”

So the right wingers aren't disturbed by the inadequate safety funding for #Amtrak that transportation officials have decried for decades.

Congress poised to slash #Amtrak’s annual funding to $1.13 billion, was $1.4 billion.http://t.co/544inK0Jwr pic.twitter.com/0knKgHPciR

Barely 2 hrs after a human tragedy, we have network(s), decrying funding for Amtrak. I hope the rest of America is praying. #priorities

Never let a crisis go to waste…
@AntDeRosa @joanwalsh Are we sure it does relate? What evidence do you have?

Ignorant tweets about funding minutes after a disaster makes me proud to be an American @Amtrak #timeandplace Praying for all involved

Common sense: Always in short supply when political vultures are hovering overhead.

Amazing how many people are sure the #Amtrak accident was caused infrastructure funding without any evidence whatsoever. #experts

Goodbye, decency. Hello, evil.
Hope there are lots of Republicans on that Amtrak train then maybe they'll have a come to Jesus moment and fund infrastructure. #LastWord

@TuxcedoCat Because there's no better moment than a tragedy to do your partisan shit-shuffle.
