Hurricane Helene Victims Lash Out at Biden, Harris: ‘Disgraceful’

Published October 5, 2024

North Carolina Hurricane Helene victims are furious at the government for, what they say, has abandoned them without proper resources or supplies. Even so, the storm has taken more than 200 lives and the feeder Al government’s response has been less than urgent. 

More than a week after the storm hit, North and South Carolina states continue to be isolated with hundreds being without power and lousy service, making it difficult to communicate outside of their community.

Sue Riles, who lives in the tourist-friendly city, told the Associated Press that she longs for a hot shower, as the storm severely damaged water facilities— resulting in thousands of homes and businesses without running water. Officials said it “could be considered unprecedented” and that repairs could take weeks.

An NBC News anchor asked a woman if she had any confidence in getting aid from the government, to which she said “No.”

At the same time, residents lack faith President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris will respond the way a normal pro-America administration should. 

Speaking to Fox News’ Jesse Watters, Jordan Lanning, an Asheville resident, criticizing Biden for not visiting the destroyed areas for five days and accused the president of not thinking “we were worth coming down to see us himself.”

Biden made a quick pit stop in Asheville on his way to Raleigh.

“It’s disgraceful,” he continued. “I mean, they keep saying ‘We the people.’ No, there is no ‘We the people.’ It is them versus us. Like, they’re not for us. It’s all about them — they tell us what we need instead of listening to us.”

RELATED: Biden, Harris Behind FEMA Shortfall ‘Cataclysm’

Published October 5, 2024

Reports that the Federal Emergency Management Agency is running short of funds for emergency relief, particularly after announcing earlier this year hundreds of millions of dollars in grants for communities receiving migrants, is a “cataclysm” of President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris’ “own making,” Rep. Pat Fallon told Newsmax on Friday.

“As far as FEMA claiming they don’t have money, and Joe Biden saying that he wanted to bring Congress back in to pass something to give FEMA more money, they didn’t read the continuing resolution we just passed,” the Texas Republican told Newsmax’s “Newsline.” “It had $20 billion in there specifically for emergency relief, for FEMA. So, I don’t know, maybe they could do their jobs and they would know that they actually have the funds.”

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, while en route earlier this week to survey damages left by Hurricane Helene in South Carolina, told reporters earlier this week, however, that FEMA does not have enough money to finish out the rest of this year’s hurricane season, reports The New York Times.
