Rumors, misinformation and lies about the federal government’s response to Hurricane Helene in the southeastern United States have run rampant since the storm made landfall, especially around funding for the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
The claims have become so widespread that FEMA set up a response page to debunk many falsehoods around how disaster funding works and what the agency’s response has been.
As of Sunday, FEMA says it has provided more than $137 million in assistance to six states in the southeast, including 7,000 federal personnel, nearly 15 million meals, 14 million liters of water, 157 generators and more than half a million tarps. Politics In many instances the disaster response to Helene has been politicized The agency also says more than 3,000 North Carolina residents have been rescued or supported by more than 1,200 urban search and rescue personnel, with recovery efforts aided by National Guard and active duty troops. North Carolina has also received $100 million in federal transportation funds to rebuild roads and bridges washed out by the storm.
Republicans, especially former President Donald Trump, have sought to wield the storm as a political tool against Vice President Harris with less than a month to go before Election Day. Trump has repeatedly attacked Harris and President Biden as doing a “bad job” handling the storm’s aftermath without specifics, instead using misleading math to complain about immigration and foreign aid.
“They’re offering them $750 to people whose homes have been washed away,” Trump said Saturday at a rally in Butler, Pa. “And yet we send tens of billions of dollars to foreign countries that most people have never heard of. They’re offering them $750. They’ve been destroyed. These people have been destroyed.”

Claims FEMA helicopters blocking runway used for private aid.
“You can trust us, we’re the government!”
More like CYA.
The first solid premise we can base our conclusions on is:
THE GOVERNMENT IS CORRUPT.
npr has found Jesus!
The same people who took 3 years to admit Hunter Biden’s laptop was real and not russian disinformation. Who do I beleive?

THIS ⬆️ is what NPR calls ‘misinformation’ ??
They can’t handle the truth.
The second solid premise is:
A majority of management-level government workers are left-leaning.
Another solid premise is:
LEFTISTS HAVE NO OBJECTIVE BASIS FOR THEIR MORAL CHOICES.
Howwver they spin this, FEMA passes out hundreds of millions to citizens of foreign countries.
137 million to storm victims,
150.7 BILLION on illegals.
So, they can spare me the violins.
As a result of having no real moral foundation, the leftists in government are not deterred when their political agenda causes death and destruction.
Particularly when they believe they can get away with it.
Sure they do. "What will help me win/make the most money?"
FEMA has been so concerned about the victims, that they fought Elon Musk’s Starlink. Wouldn’t want those people communicating with the outside world would they?
You mean steal.
NPR is generally fact free on things that tend to the Political.
NPR is the government, so the government is fact checking itself.
Didn’t NPR push the hoax that Donald Trump colluded with Russia to win the election?
