Mayorkas' claim that FEMA is 'tremendously prepared' comes back to haunt him amid Helene aftermath
Fox News ^ | Oct 4, 2024 | Peter Aitken

U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas' words have come back to haunt him as video from earlier this year touting the Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA’s) preparedness before Hurricane Helene exposed shortcomings in the organization.

Mayorkas this week warned that FEMA was running out of funds as hurricane season continued to slam the southeastern United States. The organization has enough funds to deal with the aftermath of Helene but would not have enough to "make it through the season."

"FEMA is tremendously prepared," Mayorkas assured reporters in a video from July. "This is what we do, this is what they do, and the key here … is to also make sure the communities who are potentially impacted are prepared as well."

Mayorkas stressed the need to be ready for the “consequences” of increasingly severe weather events as climate change continues to exacerbate disasters such as hurricanes and wildfires.

Haunt him?

Pretty funny. The guy does not give a crap. He’ll just say whatever works at the moment and carry on with his agenda.

Mayorkass is a fraud. He was in over his head from the beginning. Wrong person to send to orchestrate the illegal alien takeover of America with the invading hordes from the south.

Incompetent bureaucrats in the Biden Administration?
I’m so shocked!🫢

Seriously, apparently 50% or so of American votes will say: “Thank You Sir! May I have four more years.”

This a@@hole is a LIAR! And a criminal in re: the Border and clearly with distribution of FEMA funds to NON-Citizens— illegals is a criminal act.

Thank Chuckie Schmuckie Schumer for blocking the Impeachment of this jacka@@!

Incompetent and skimming money through kickbacks from his “contractor” corrupt “no bid” contracts.

FEMA is enormously prepared, all right, to support the flood of illegal aliens surging over the border. As far as supporting the citizens who are paying for it in times of emergency, not so much.

On the Q thread somebody posted a link to a post by a woman who overheard 4 FEMA executives talking about the Helene response, saying they are too busy at the border to send help for Helene.

This guy Mayorkas and Garland are the Two Chief Psychopaths of the Biden Administration. They have this tag-team thing going. They switch off.

Mayorkas is already impeached.

Get on with the trial.

It doesn’t look like he’s very busy now.

“Mayorkas’ claim that FEMA is ‘tremendously prepared’ comes back to haunt him amid Helene aftermath”

Gee and I remember about 12 million illegals ago he said “The border is closed”.

Chuck Schumer ruled that the impeachment was groundless and the Senate declined to hold a trial. This is the same Schumer who did hold a trial for a President who was out of office.
