Ask the people that’s affected not some politician

[stacynoeth]

Wow as soon as he started talking about the failures of FEMA she couldn't get him off quick enough. That's crazy

[JeanHampleman]

That's not what the people living in western NC are saying and since they are there and he isn't, I don't trust this guy.

[Grizzly-ck]

LOL funny how she just cut them off at the end

[susiesimpson]

She would not let him finish what he was saying about government neglect to take care of Americans

[coder]

Why doesn’t CNN go there and show us for themselves?

[dontlook]

You cut him off when he was talking about FEMA failures.. SMH

[jimkess]

You people are such puppets. The second this gentleman started raising real concerns, she couldn't end the interview quickly enough.
Quit with the partisan, political bulshit, and just get these Americans some help

[rustydevil]

My ex lives in Ashville and she informed me FEMA has been great but the local government has not been great.

[JonathnPaul]

She was REALLY trying to lead him and put words in his mouth.

[pattysmith]

I really got a chuckle from the CNN reporter trying so hard to put words in his mouth! The spin is reaching category 5 velocity.

[shielanunn]

Start damn well suing media along with their Hosts broadcasting this deliberate lies and misinformation

[diannebuckingham]

OH cut him off when he started talking about FEMA. She loved him when she thought he was going to praise FEMA. lol I trust people with feet on the ground more than I trust a person sitting in an office in Washington.

[MrMattMohler]

AT the end you asked him a question. Then you cut him off? What's up with that?

[HerAeolianHarp]

Two weeks ago 100 GOP senators voted NOT to increase FEMA funding. They were all the no votes.

[brenthood]

You can tell this guy really cares because he voted against funding FEMA.

[davids]

I haven't heard most of these rumors. My daughter lives just east of Asheville and like everyone else there she's struggling right now. She said obtaining federal aid thru FEMA (the $750 we've all heard about), is mired in red tape and she hasn't been successful so I sent her some money. But all the businesses are closed so they have to leave town and head for Greenville. She can't work due to everything being shut down.

[peltiereric]

CNN absolutely just lied because the FAA absolutely did Restrict Airspace forcing the Private Pilots who were flying their own aircraft with their own fuel in there to save people who were stranded out of food water and medicine and they even tried to arrest one pilot who had to go back up to retrieve his copilot who he left with the husband of the woman he just rescued when they tried to arrest him, he went back for his copilot who was his son but had to tell the husband he couldn’t help him and then that elderly man had to walk down the mountain then get a rope tossed across the river to him to tie onto his body so firemen could drag him through a rain swollen and debris filled raging river.

Sure some of the rumors are false but some of the most ridiculous ones that make no logical sense are true and there’s video evidence to back it up

[robertvasquez]

How RICH! cnn calling out misinformation

[PaulGilbert-oo]

I have no doubt this guy will vote for Trump and the GOP who want to defund FEMA or even remove it.. people will vote against their best interests every day of the week!
