We can no longer trust or count on our government for assistance. We're on our own, folks!

[Moose]

It caused many Deaths. Mostly due to the time it took to rescue people. Thank god our citizens out in North Carolina and Tennesee rescued people themselves. I can't listen to her voice and empty words.

[jenniferbolton]

The fact she doesn’t understand it’s regular citizens who are helping the most..not the government.

[baldovin]

Trumps Gofund me Helena Hurricane has reached over 4 million

[zinaallen]

Help American citizens just like you did the immigrants without hesitation! They need real action not just words! They need more than $750.00 dollars for food etc. don’t short change our people! Dig deep down in that government purse for us make sure they get everything they need because We the People are paying attention and November 5th 2024 is coming.

[commandoslayer]

Bringing power, edible food and water, and medicine is a priority.

[sherryrichmond]

She was scared to answer any questions only took one

[Dellahpu]

How about the millions sent overseas. She has the nerve to say $750 to these communities

[marybelle]

She’s completely lost without a teleprompter!!!

[SpanishAngels]

So many words. So little comfort. This response is a joke.

[Riclmnopp]

Wow… giving the residents $750 in aid, while you give billions in aid to Ukraine.

[zali]

$750 when immigrants are getting 3k a month, homes, and vehicles for free???? WHAT? how pathetic

[JustinThomas-qthv]

If you're voting for this specimen and she wins you deserve everything that you have coming..

[MimiUEyesNotBlue]

What a crapfest. Do you remember when Reagan fired the Air Traffic Controllers? These people need supplies from those DOCK WORKERS!!

[Apexpurrfection]

Shes awfull. Disgusting lack of care for Americans. Cut foreign speeding now.

[TheNecessaryEvil]

Hearing about her middle class upbringing really comforts people in their time of need 😂💩

"And though the forest was shrinking, the trees kept voting for the axe, for the axe was clever and convinced the trees that since her handle was made of wood, she was one of them."

[colonizedgrain]

The same people that told you Biden was perfectly fine are the same people that are telling you Kamala is the best choice.
(I stole this comment)

[oscarquin]

She found a way to sneak in her famous little "We have so much more in common than what separates us". Thrash, scary to think that anyone would find leadership in her. Extremely weird time in this country that she is regarded president material. If she wins the country will fall deeper into ruins, because this country is in the pits since this administration has been in power.

[richardbaughman]

Why are yall sending foreign aid and shutting down aid for our people???
