No, Biden didn’t take FEMA relief money to use on migrants — but Trump did
Washington Post, MSN ^ | 10/4/24 | Glenn Kessler

Posted on 10/05/2024 10:03:22 AM PDT by DallasBiff

“The Harris-Biden administration says they don’t have any money [for hurricane relief]. … They spent it all on illegal migrants. … They stole the FEMA money just like they stole it from a bank, so they could give it to their illegal immigrants that they want to have vote for them.”

Trump has been trying to weaponize the Hurricane Helene relief efforts, accusing the Biden administration of failing to provide adequate assistance. As part of his critique, he claims there is no money available for hurricane relief because it was spent already to handle the surge of migrants at the southern border.

“They stole the FEMA money just like they stole it from a bank,” Trump charged, referring to the Federal Emergency Management Agency, adding in the additional falsehood that Vice President Kamala Harris wants illegal immigrants to vote for her. As we have explained many times before, this would be against the law and there is no evidence to support this claim.

Wash post cheerleading the lies of Biden/Harris/Mayorkis.

Hey Wash Post, how did 20,00o impoverished illegal Haitians show up in Springfield, OH.

And the above picture is the first trans cheerleader in the NFL.

Wait. Trump took the FEMA relief money? Is Trump currently in charge of FEMA? If so, I missed that little news item.

The mismanagement today wasn’t done today.
The mismanagement today was done 4 years ago.

The spending of this year’s budget was spent about 4 budgets back. The 2019 money that ought to be solving problems of 2024 was spent back in 2019. Because Trump.

One persons truth is another persons lie. We see this with consistency so they at least have that to brag about.

It’s worse than that. Trump caused Hurricane Helene by running for President and the earth rebelled.

Mayorkas says FEMA doesn’t have enough funds for hurricane season after nearly 1 BILLION given to illegals: report:

“We are meeting the immediate needs with the money that we have,” Mayorkas said, referencing FEMA’s response to Hurricane Helene. “We are expecting another hurricane hitting. We do not have the funds. FEMA does not have the funds to make it through the season.”

When I see who the source is I don’t bother to read it. I know it’s going to be lies.

I would like to hear from the FEMA whistleblowers that Matt Gaetz referred to in his letter to Mayorkas.

Regares of where the $is, FEMA isn’t there to help. This administration had 4 years to remedy FEMA and they did not. And they did give away money that could hav been used to assist Americans in need.

The lies of the left don’t make sense which is proof of lies.

They wouldn’t be publishing this crap if it weren’t a powerful issue. We need to keep hammering on it.

FEMA has 23k employees per Wikipedia. Why can’t our own military handle these emergencies?

“Is Trump currently in charge of FEMA?”

LOL! Actually, some lady I met a couple months ago seriously told me that Trump and his “white hat” military have been in charge of everything since Jan. 2021. What a kook.

I saw mayor-kiss say that to the camera and it was live on journalistic outlets.

More fake fact checking by the MSM.
The Regime already said they were out of money for FEMA and now they’re giving money to terrorists in Lebanon and Gaza. So who’s lying?
I never heard the Trump administration say they were short on funds for American citizens.
What a bunch of f’ing propaganda from the Washington Post!
