Republican Officials Counter MAGA Lies About Storm Aid [View all]
Right-wing media and social media across all platforms has pushed out a firehose of lies about the federal response to provide relief to those who suffered devastating losses in the recent storm.
Donald Trump and his MAGA allies view this as a golden opportunity to stop Kamala Harris's momentum in North Carolina and Georgia - two of the states hardest hit by the storm. They have spread one lie after another about it, but those lies run counter to the public statements of state officials on the ground in distressed areas, many of whom are Republicans.
Here are some examples of statements that these officials have said about the federal response:
Georgia Governor Brian Kemp: Earlier today, I spoke to @POTUS and thanked him for visiting our state and for adding counties to the disaster declaration list. I also pushed for more counties to be added and for additional support as we work day and night to recover from the devastating impacts of Helene. [X]
