A day after her Alabama counterpart said Californians “don’t deserve” money for the Los Angeles wildfires “unless they show that they’re gonna change their ways,” Sen. Katie Britt suggested putting policy conditions on an aid package would be the wrong approach.

“I think what we need to be doing right now is standing firmly with the people of California, letting them know they have our prayers, they have our support and that we stand ready to be thoughtful about ways that we can help in making sure that they have the resources they need,” Britt said in a conversation Tuesday with Politico’s Jonathan Martin.

But Britt said California should not be given unfettered access to federal funds.

“That being said, obviously, you’re not just going to write a blank check,” she said. “We have to be judicious with our dollars, and I think that we certainly will be. But I think the people of California need to know that America stands with them, and that’s certainly the message that I plan to send.”

Britt’s stance on aid is a departure from Sen. Tommy Tuberville, who on Monday said California doesn’t deserve a dime without policy concessions.

During an appearance Monday on Newsmax, Tuberville was asked why other states should “be bailing out California for choosing the wrong people to lead their state.”

“We shouldn’t be,” Tuberville said. “They got 40 million people in that state and they voting these imbeciles in office, and they continue to do it. And it’s just a very small part of them in that state that’s doing it.

“If you go to California, you run into a lot of Republicans, a lot of good people, and I hate it for them,” the senator continued, “But they are just overwhelmed by these inner-city woke policies with the people that vote for them.

Tuberville said he does not object to some federal funds being earmarked to help California, on one condition.

“I don’t mind sending them some money, but unless they show that they’re gonna change their ways and get back to building dams and stormwater, doing the maintenance with the brush and the trees – everything that everybody else does in the country, and they refuse to do it – they don’t deserve anything, to be honest with you, unless they show us they’re gonna make some changes,” he said.

Tuberville’s response drew the ire of several critics, including Comedy Central’s Jon Stewart.

During a segment on “The Daily Show” Monday, Stewart expressed anger at Tuberville and other Republicans that are trying to attach their, “I told you so’s as a condition of funding California’s disaster relief.”

Stewart responded to the clip of Tuberville’s Newsmax interview saying that the senator’s comments were “psychotic” and that despite Alabama’s horrible educational benchmarks aid would never be conditioned for disaster relief.

“Really senator from Alabama?” Stewart said.

“The state near the bottom in math, reading and test scores. Next time you get hit by a f****ng hurricane, why don’t we have a little parent teacher conference to see that if you got your scores up, you would get the money, or actually, let’s not do it, because you’ll get the money anyway, because we’re not f****ng psychos. That is psychotic. There’s something wrong with you.”
