Lara Trump rips FEMA's Hurricane Helene response & bashes CNN for claims failures are misinformation

Republican National Committee co-chair Lara Trump ripped into the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) handling of Hurricane Helene and sparred with CNN host Dana Bash over whether her father-in-law was spewing misinformation.

Lara Trump contended Sunday that the Harris-Biden administration hasn’t been spending money wisely on recovery efforts and lamented the devastation that had been unleashed by the storm upon her native state of North Carolina.

Whenever someone says something Bash doesn't agree with she immediately "stops them right there."

[Pa-welw]

$750 isn’t going to go far for a family who’s been wiped out. Maybe 2-3 days.

[summerd]

Why did she “stop her right there”? She was doing just fine with the facts.

[zvltpti]

Why is Dana Bash answering for the White House? I mean her best friend?

[glennhubbard]

Dana, you have got to stop acting like Kamala's press secretary. I mean, you really need to stop.

[javiruiz]

750 is pocket change! I’m sorry! I’m not sure what states people live in, but I have only lived in California and NYC. That’s absolutely nothing! 🤷‍♂️

[RITPA]

After Hurricane Sandy, FEMA only gave us a single payment. We went to NY rising afterwards and was denied. So not sure where CNN thinks multiple checks are coming. One night of pain followed by 2 years of disappointments.

CENSORING HER IS WHAT THEY DO PEOPLE 😂😂😂😂

[notsorryyouretriggered]

WOW, $750!!!! That’s like half a mortgage payment. Incredible.

[FrankGallagherr]

Who else loathes Obama, Kamala Harris, Walz, Biden, Jack Smith, Mayorkas, Schumer, Newsom, Schiff, Hochul, Willis, Fauci, Pelosi, Cheney, Hillary, AOC, Woke Hollywood, CNN, ABC, CBS and MSDNC?

[LindaChavous-jqtj]

You always have to blame someone else for your mistakes. Can’t tell truth. The biggest problem is people actually believe it.

[tomf]

If CNN was so concerned they will get out from behind their Ivory tower and go to the areas and stay there until the area is fixed that would mean something. CNN needs to be hand in hand supporting the people suffering in the hardest hit areas and hold the government accountable not defending the lack of action. There are tons of people streaming what’s really happening, CNN is just clueless.

[robertl]

The question to Dana should be:
"If you just lost EVERYTHING you own, had no money, and nowhere to go, what would YOU do with a $750.00 check?"

[roybramlett]

Look at that reporter trying to shut down the conversation cause she knows that that person is telling the truth

[bobgorski]

These are not false claims. I have friends in and around Ashville. NC who agree. Furthurmore FEMA is taking supplies off of incoming trucks, warehousing them, and then loading onto 'FEMA' trucks to deliver.

[scarletbailey]

The government needs to stop giving our tax $ away to other countries and take care of our people!

[LearnAllUCan]

Give $750 in "immediate assistance" to people in an area where there is no electricity, no banking, no cell service, HOW, EXACTLY?

[DonaldDunn-en]

Does this so-called news lady ever pay attention. A want to be journalist?? Get your facts straight lady or you're fired.

[kathychanning]

Yup, the video of Mayorkis saying that FEMA is out of money is still up for viewing

[KeithMoore-tkrh]

Everyone who tried to get the $750 was immediately denied. No one has received anything.
