Misinformation is beginning to take a toll on hurricane responders and survivors alike, the head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency said Tuesday as another massive storm headed for the southeast.

I hope hurricane victims have a place to vote this November

absolutely disgusting how people can believe this without looking anything up themselves. truly horrid.

Listen to the residents of North Carolina not to these mockingbirds

[NaomiSims-wg]

Yeah, you have no signs to be recognized as FEMA, & she just admitted to FEMA walking around neighborhoods unrecognized...WHY ARE THEY THERE THEN? WHAT IS THEIR PURPOSE?

[pennyplyman]

Oh yeah, a whopping 750.00 we all need to move to Lebanon if we want OUR OWN MONEY BACK FOR HELP! This is our money.

For God sake, I was in the guard we could’ve had tents and food and bathrooms for thousands. The same day we’ve done it with our own soldiers. It’s quick. It’s fast meals ready to eat. They last for 20 years for everybody to sleep on under some propane, Heating should’ve been set up immediately. Rescue stations all over the place that would’ve made Harris look goodand Biden if they saw we saw all over the place, military tents and food and bathrooms and cooking they blow it North Carolina victims are suffering

[eddieskeddie]

I wonder if the people in Lebanon will have to "register" like she is requiring the US hurricane victims to do for the $157 million in new aid we just sent to them.

FEMA REPORTED THROUGH THE HOMELAND SECURITY THAT FUNDS WERE RUNNING OUT AND WON'T MAKE IT THROUGH THE SEASON.

Stop doing interviews and get out there and help people

[camig]

So, are the people who went through this tragedy pushing misinformation? Because if that's what you're implying that would be as low as you could go.

[michlarabee]

Video after video of people on the ground state other wise. Stop lying to everyone. Shame on you

[patriciahoequist-breeze]

In 2022, Karine Jean-Pierre was at the podium in 2022 in a press briefing and said out loud that FEMA money was being used for housing/shelter and food and other related expenses for migrants. I hate being lied to. Crossing @Politico off my watch list.

[debratimmerman]

Not false not lies these people are PURE EVIL

[frankworkman]

This woman's trying to save her job FEMA is not helping I know I'm a hurricane victim

[denagooler]

The people that live there are saying it not just Trump.

[bobbymccowin]

Listen to the locals you will find out how little they are helping

[shanevinson]

If CNN is saying it’s “false, ” we all know it’s true

[janebarscz]

Do you believe the hurricane victims about FEMA or are you going to believe FEMA? I believe the hurricane victims who are going through this hell.
