This is what happens when polititians are permitted to lie without consequence.

The people who are spreading the misinformation about FEMA funding are the same people who voted against funding FEMA in the first place.

[Matt-fluy]

I live in the Carolinas. I've answered the calls for help. It's CRUEL for these politicians to say no help is there.

[karld]

They go back to their multi-million dollar homes and laugh about getting people hurt and killed, disgusting.

[paladinfilm]

Why are they demanding FEMA aid? I thought they hated Socialism...?

[JamesMiles-rv]

After 9 years, it’s mind-boggling how people still praise the biggest complainer out there.

[DoctorPMD]

People who spread misinformation need to be banned from public service. There is simply no place for such people to be entrusted to manage the serious problems our citizens deal with.

[peggyross]

Residents need to understand that many of their GOP politicians voted against disaster relief aid recently.

[christinekraeger]

It's time for another lawsuit against FOX!

[ralphwemberly]

If a lot of people die over this, these people need to be criminally charged.

[filmboyultimate]

I feel like anyone can be qualified to be a politician

[madnessintomagic]

They never realized that THEIR lies would actually impact THEIR district/regions before ours. Now they’re scrambling to debunk THEIR own lies, because it’s destroying their own power. I live for this.

I live in Black Mountain, NC. I can tell you that FEMA was there and the state and federal agencies were there from the beginning. These agencies, as well as the community efforts, are stellar! I am so grateful for the men and women who are volunteering🙌🙌🙌🙌

[ycxoney]

He should be charged with CRIMINAL NEGLIGENCE!

[amw]

Thank you for this report ! I hope enough people watch it!

[seanjones]

Hannity should be held accountable for his comments recently.

[Jack-mulz]

The Supreme Court Justices should be ashamed of their support for a political party. If they remained neutral this would not be an issue.

[ninamiller]

Sad that a Republican Judge in Florida would not extend the Oct 7 registration and give the
people who had to evacuate because of the Hurricanes. He said that they people should have
went on line and registered while they were evacuating the storms. How ridiculous that is.

[mstrwil]

When are these people going to be sued for lying and defaming people? It's running rampant because they're not being held accountable for their behavior.

[ButUrWrongTho]

This HAS to stop. America will not survive these mass delusion forever
