Washington Post reporter Hannah Dreier has been accused of misleading people on Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis’ response to the recent residential building collapse in his state.

On Saturday, Dreier posted on her Twitter an account of FEMA’s response to the recent building collapse that occurred early Thursday morning in Surfside, Florida. From FEMA’s statement, she concluded that DeSantis had waited over a crucial twenty–four hours to provide emergency relief for victims.

"There's a saying in emergency management: The first 24 hours are the only 24 hours," she tweeted. "FEMA was ready to deploy to the condo collapse almost immediately, and included the crisis in its daily briefing, but didn't get permission from Gov. DeSantis to get on the ground for a full day."

If journalists are talking or writing, they're probably lying.

This is just the first salvo, hauling out the Katrina playbook.

FEMA are not first responders. Never have been, and should never be.

Local emergency response was on scene within minutes. The media are just lying liars who lie.

Why would FEMA even be needed. They would most likely just be in the way.

FEMA has no way of responding in 24 hours. After all, it’s a federal agency.

The pushback here to Hannah Dreier is that she used this tragedy, one where the death toll isn't even known yet but certain to be great, as a political hit piece. What kind of filth does that?

These newspaper only mislead.

Purposely.

All propaganda all the time for the Ministry of Truth.

Don’t read them

Don’t talk about them.

Don’t feed them.

We do not need to defend ourselves against their lies.

Local response is what was called for and what happened faster than one would any more expect. This one is not a FMA job. FEMA would just get in the way and tie the scene up in red tape. Subsidiarity is what it is about. Even Katrina was not what is propagandized. There were rules that had to be observed i.e. the mayor had to call for FMA. The mayor refused to call, said he didn’t want Bush’s hands on the project. Like any other Democrat he preferred that people die and the disaster get worse than for the Republican to possibly get any credit.

She should have first learned what is considered large enough for a Gov. to declare such an emergency. Biden had to exempt the guidelines for Desantis to qualify for Fema before e could declare it.

Stupid journalists like her never do their homework!

Washington Post always looking to re-create a story that has little if anything

to do with the facts. Certain reporters are better at it than others.

Ghouls do.

She’s a ghoul.

But then, they teach this in the “Hate Conservatism 101” course that’s required to get your journalism degree in most American colleges and universities.

The followup top that class is “It’s okay to lie about them if they’re Nazis 201” course.
