NICE TRY, but NO: Desperate FEMA blames 'rumors' for the hurricane response backlash they've received
Twitchy.com ^ | 10/4/2024 | Amy Curtis

FEMA's response to Hurricane Helene has been, in a word, terrible.

And that's an understatement.

The Biden-Harris regime has made DEI FEMA's top priority and wasted hundreds of millions of FEMA funds on illegal immigration.

So while roads are washed out across the rural southeast U.S. and people are getting vital supplies delivered by drone and donkey, FEMA really doesn't want you to spread 'rumors' about how much they suck.

There has been a lot of rumors spreading about the #Helene response.

Rumors can create confusion & prevent people from getting assistance they need. Help us share accurate information: https://t.co/Z5vxuBTths pic.twitter.com/U3DCtmC1LN

Do your jobs and maybe people won't talk.

Why did you spend all our money on illegals?

— Catturd ™ (@catturd2) October 4, 2024

That's not a rumor, either.

We already know. You prioritize people in this country illegally over US citizens.

— Lisa (@Rockprincess818) October 3, 2024

We aren't supposed to talk about that, though.

Thank God all the fake news is just a rumor. pic.twitter.com/nvwWv5oQRU

— Golden Advice 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲 (@RichardStiller4) October 3, 2024

'Rumors' -- except for all the headlines.

First, just answer the question as to whether or not FEMA/DHS spent $640 million on illegals.

Second, think about the utility of tweeting, when many of the people affected by hurricane Helene aren’t getting Internet.

Seems like you’re just tweeting to save face, not to serve…

— Viva Frei (@thevivafrei) October 4, 2024

It would be nice if they did answer that question.

And yes, they're just trying to save face here.

The old rule we learned in elementary school is still true- the first person who blames someone for farting is actually the person who did the farting.

— Among the Wildflowers (@deaflibertarian) October 4, 2024

It sure is.

Lolololol. You’re the organization that everyone knows has dropped the ball and is trying to stop citizens from helping each other. So, nah, I don’t think I’ll be checking out your website for you to tell me why you’re the good guys. Do your job and ppl will respond accordingly.

It's really that simple.

That could rebuild Asheville, but nah.

Confusing and contradictory messaging https://t.co/iqYQ20CTEt pic.twitter.com/8eAgC4HAEj

— Wontonimo Bae .🤍. (@wontonimobae) October 4, 2024

Because we are governed by unserious clowns.

FEMA wants you to stop talking about how they gave all their money to help the illegals

They're even posting about this in the middle of a massive crisis! https://t.co/e6UXZHKdCH

— Peachy Keenan (@KeenanPeachy) October 4, 2024

They really, really want to control the narrative.

I’m talking directly to volunteers on the ground who are saying you’re completely worthless. https://t.co/YdVtAlQ35s

— Mostly Peaceful Memes (@MostlyPeacefull) October 4, 2024

Those are rumors, too, apparently.

People dead, injured, and desperate aren’t rumors, your organization failed the American people. If trump gets in I wonder if legal action will be taken for treason https://t.co/3bSZRJnhF5

— Zdeb (@zdebowski) October 4, 2024

The organization should be cleared top to bottom and reset.

Know what else prevents people from getting assistance?

FEMA! https://t.co/riMvTrYRqH

BOOM.

Last night, I watched Rep Cory Mills from FL, on Laura Ingraham. He was in NC helping stranded victims get to hospitals via helicopter. He said FEMA had just arrived in NC yesterday, and gave other execrable facts about FEMA. Yes, Helene is Harris' Katrina. I'd say Biden-Harris, but the world knows he is too mentally incompetent to be acting president.

Neither of them have been running anything except their mouths.

Sounds like the people who installed them are worried, though.

But given that they’ve tried to lock up Trump over and over, and tried to kill him at least twice, we could figure that out for ourselves, couldn’t we...

Gummit can not solve major problems and especially something this size. God is showing his power and the insignificence of man.

The feds are renewing their occupation efforts in North Carolina.. Wait until FEMA imports tens of thousands of illegal immigrant slaves to “clean up the mess!” caused by the flooding in Asheville.They will pay them with aid money that should go to the State.

FEMA should be called , “Commies at Work.”

I also accuse them of intentional late responding to assure fewer red voteds this election cycle. Yes, I am that cynical of this.

My guess is that after the Rally with Trump tomorrow, Musk will go to the disaster areas and show them how you get things done....something that both he and Trump have mastered.

I'm sure that any Military will be on his side.

FEMA...will shake in their boots.

Does anyone remember the flooding in the northern Mississippi Missouri areas under Obama that received little to no help? Or was it train explosions?

I think that Hurricane Helene has opened the eyes of quite a group of Americans that may finally see that democrats cannot govern or lead this country…praying for a LANDSLIDE win next month! Please God, show us your mercy, even though we DO NOT Deserve it.

Incompetence is okay until competence is required. The entire executive branch is run by incompetents.

They are tools of the government that will claim they are only following orders... Just like the guards at Auschwitz.

Bottom line for me is they book hotels full that should be for victims. Paper pushing bureaucrats can work and sleep in tents.

Worked for our troops in WW2.

Go to hell FEMA.
