Biden responds to Trump's false claim about Hurricane Helene aid

President Biden accused former President Donald Trump of “lying” about the federal response to Hurricane Helene after a reporter started to ask Biden about Trump’s baseless accusation that he and the federal government were going out of their way to avoid helping people in Republican areas. #CNN #News

Will you, CNN, talk about Mayorkas saying that FEMA doesn’t have the funds to offer any more help after saying earlier in the year that they are more than ready to deal with the hurricane season? Didn’t think so.
Will you, CNN, talk about Biden not even knowing what storm reporters were talking about when being questioned and then responding with, "oh yeah, that storm. People have all they need, and we are happy, across the board." People do not have everything they need, and many, many people are most definitely not happy.

Press secretary herself said that FEMA funds are being spent on migrants for hotel accommodation, phones, plane tickets to a city near you etc. Then Mayorkas said that FEMA didn't have enough money left to support hurricane victims. Look it up.

750 has been denied, the government isn't doing 💩

[DavidLyles]

Reporter: "What do the people in the storm zone need after what you saw today?"
Biden: "In the storm zone? I'm wondering what storm you were talking about. *visibly confused* They've got everything they need. They are very happy across the border. I'm going to have to go to the congress and get some more money for approval."

Its amazing how they try to avoid saying that he told a blatant lie. He is a serial lier.

The Hurricane Helene disaster relief response by our government is a total embarrassment to the country. The stories about government failure is absolutely true all over North Carolina. Thank God for the locals for doing the heavy lifting or the death toll would be much higher. So quit taking political sides and think about our fellow Americans. Whether you support Trump or Harris, stick with the facts, the effort our government is making is pitiful.

You all are disgusting. Biden literally asked “what storm” last night when questioned about aid. He said everyone is perfectly happy and taken care of. I just worked with a family who desperately called because FEMA just got to her area right outside Asheville and before they would help with a place to stay, she had to provide a letter from her insurance company stating that they are not covering her losses. They are literally asking people with no electricity and no cell service to provide documents that washed down the river before they would approve her a place to stay. Of course her insurance agency was also destroyed so she couldn’t provide that at 7pm on a Friday night. Keep watching CNN and sit on your high horse believing everything is perfectly fine.

750 for hurricane victims and billions for illegal migrants so that they can buy guns and ammo

[elmerfudd]

And biden trying to take credit for getting starlink sent to hurricane victims 😂

[UpFrunTnBlunTeD]

We aren't getting help in SC, NC, or TN. The government is doing nothing to help us. Msm is disgusting with lies like this

[theaftermath]

Trump is helping the people out of his own pocket what about joe

[LindaMarquette]

So $750 is ALL our government has to offer these hurricane victims? Why can’t Ukrainian or illegal immigrant money be redistributed into FEMA or other relief agencies so that more can be used to help AMERICAN citizens??

[dholtman]

Leaders lead while politicians blame others...

[stunnerofagunner]

The only thing 'false' about this headline is the agenda of those who push it 😂

Why does media say " he seem to suggest "
The correct wording is what the president said.
"He's lying "
