Some ppl gaslight.
Patriots tell the truth.

[dphillips]

I’ll trust the people on the ground in N. Carolina.

[robertjohnson]

The panic in Main Stream media is glorious they aren't the gatekeepers anymore

[snoogyboog]

The videos of the organizations and people on the ground are the truth. These people do not have a production stage to make up what is happening in the videos. He did not debunk the FEMA issues, he talked about nothing.

[khonzi]

"Debunking?" No. It's called major damage control!

[bxzon]

Busted… control shilling, but too late

[rlwetz]

From the same people who brought you "Russia did it!" and "pandemic of the unvaccinated"....

[jamesmanolakis]

Whenever the truth is told immediately these demons start throwing around the word " misinformation".

[BethBall-cf]

The people on the ground are living this nightmare not you, not your wordley sociology, Go help them, put your boots on, roll up your sleeves, go help people.

This production cost a lot of money, took time to organize. Someone invested heavily in this message, for their own reasons.

[brandienunziati]

I believe the people on the ground. I'm beyond tired of the gaslighting!

[cindymclaughlin]

This really doesn’t explain away why there was no apparent help for hurricane survivors for a week!

[ThepupsnameisBrian]

No one takes CBS seriously anymore. I'd be ashamed to work for them.

[hscollier]

Yes! Let's ignore the reports being published by the hundreds of local residents and journalists and believe the MSM! 😂

[yutb-xq]

what reason do disaster victims have to lie about a poor government response?

[DigitalDeath]

It's funny that these industry shills expect us to believe them over the people suffering.

[gailshaw]

Wanted bet?😮get off the chair 💺 and get to North Carolina and see 👀 the truth.

[wandatucker]

Why did doug emhoff just buy 5000 shares of lithium on 10/3?

[davidrobertson]

News Flash: Robert Deniro just donated ONE MILLION dollars of his own money for disaster relief
Nope….just kidding

[MP-ixjo]

Looks like a Mayorkas clone. Where do they manufacture these NPCs?
