Mayorkas on N.C. Resident Feeling Abandoned: We Warned About Extreme Weather Events Increasing
Breitbart ^ | 10/01/2024 | Pam Key

Posted on 10/01/2024 9:20:03 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said Tuesday on MSNBC’s “Ana Cabrera Reports” that people who feel the federal government’s response to Hurricane Helene was insufficient were warned about increasing extreme weather events.

Cabrera said, “So you’re still in that search and rescue mode, it sounds like. Some residents into these impacted communities are telling us they feel like local and federal government was caught flat-footed. I want to get your reaction to some of what we’re hearing.

North Carolinian Ricky Brown said, “There you go that is your government. They don’t care about us. You know what I mean, they care more about the damn election and all that stuff than they care about these people that just lost everything.”

Cabrera said, “Mr. Secretary, how do you respond to that? Should the federal government have been better prepared to get to these isolated areas?”

Mayorkas said, “Well, our first priority is the well-being of people. That is absolutely critical and we are executing on that accordingly. We have been speaking about the fact that the frequency and gravity of extreme weather events have only been increasing. This Hurricane Helene is unprecedented in the amount of terrain it has devastated and we are responding accordingly. People should rest assure that we will be there for them.”

"Well, our first priority is the well-being of people."

BALDERDASH. It's Tuesday, Oct. 1st. The storm -- well telegraphed as to its path and expected impact -- hit 3-5 days ago. No Federal resources were staged in anticipation of this event.

There have been over 100 hurricanes since the mid-1800s but now they are caused by climate change. Nice try.

Smarmy bureaucrats don’t play well outside congress. Get them out in the public running their mouth and things get a little too real. They ain’t used to that.

I guess that is supposed to absolve all of them for their abysmal failure to deal with the situation

When will people understad that the gov’t is not there to “take care of us”?

The gov’t is good at one thing: killing.

The federal gov’t was created by the Constitution for basically one reason: to repel and defeat any invader with superior military force and killing power.

The feds are like the wolf guarding the hen house and the Constitution is the chain on the wolf that has been broken so now the wolf meant to protect the henhouse is the greatest threat to the henhouse.

There simply hasn’t been increasing bad weather events in the way Mayoukis describes and even if there were, saying “I told you so” is so over the top hard hearted. Mayorklis can just go to the blazes!

Bad weather happens from time to time.

Even if (it’s laughable, I know), this was a climate-change-induced hurricane, nobody wants to hear that right now.

People are still dying out there and what they’re getting isn’t the needed help: instead it’s excuse-making and this ludicrous “I told you so” message.

Nothing extreme about Helene. What’s new is “location”.

To me, this is proof positive that they have weaponized weather. There is some technology that is causing this to be exponentially worse than normal

compare this to the convoy of temporary bridge parts/etc heading from FL to NC thanks to Gov DeSantis. Callous Mayorkas v compassionate DeSantis.
