Mayorkas on Lack of Water in Asheville Area: Some Areas ‘Better Equipped and Better Managed’ Due to Experience
Breitbart ^ | 1 Oct 2024 | Ian Hanchett

Posted on 10/01/2024 6:04:14 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

On Monday’s broadcast of NPR’s “All Things Considered,” Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas responded to delays in getting water into the Asheville, NC area by stating that the impacts of Hurricane Helene were underestimated and “We are still in search-and-rescue mode in certain communities. There are local communities that are better equipped and better managed because of experience.”

Co-host Ailsa Chang asked, “Well, was access an issue when it came to supplying water there? Because Buncombe County, where Asheville is, says they put in a request for water before the storm, but they hadn’t received anything until this morning.”

She then played audio of County Manager Avril Pinder saying, “We’ve been asking for water and we’re just getting water and it’s still in low quantities. There’s a large need in our community, and we would like to see a better response from our state partners.”

There is no amount of evil that I wouldn’t wish on Mayorkas.

Is he blaming the victims? If things aren’t going well, then it’s just local mismanagement and it’s their own damn fault?

Seems a bit tone deaf.

Doublespeak. Nothing more. He’s made quite the career out of it, and quite the fools of the public.

Mayorkis was asleep at the switch, like Biden and Harris.

So… yeah… it’s all their fault because they don’t know how to handle the situation.

“Aren’t you in charge of emergency handling and should know more than them?”

Well yes… but you see it’s just a very complicated manner.

When Justice returns to the U.S., Mayorkas will be tried, convicted, and sentenced as a traitor to the United States.

Yup...
When you need someone to kick the victims while they are down, call on Mayorkas.
He is scum.

Seriously.. hard to excuse this..

A sky crane helicopter can carry how many pallets or tons of water?

If water is not in a FEMA warehouse.. Load up at the closest unaffected walmart and drop to the needed site in what? 30 minutes?

Don’t worry, they will get on it ... after the election.
Need to make sure the people in the south are without electricity, food, and water so they can’t vote in Republican areas.

This administration doesn't work on weekends - that's problem number 1. Second, they all know they are out of a job in a couple of months, so they aren't doing their jobs.

He's better equipped at deceit due to experience. He is truly the most disingenuous bureaucrat in Washington DC., and that's a contested field to compete against.

His reckoning with truth and decency will come some day.

The first mistake was getting a middleman- FEMA- involved. FEMA doesn’t bottle water and deliver it. FEMA contracts out to bottle the water and deliver it.

The County Manager should have contacted the bottler and delivery service himself. When days count, FEMA is weeks away.
