Political News and Conservative Analysis About Congress, the President, and the Federal Government
Administrator Deanne Criswell criticized claims and conspiracies that money for the federal emergency agency was not reaching conservative areas hammered byfor disaster relief was being funneled to migrants. “This kind of rhetoric is not helpful to people. It’s really a shame that we’re putting politics ahead of helping people, and that’s what we’re here to do.”
Federal officials have also been critical of the misinformation on social media sites that are hampering the ability of emergency responders, such as false claims that another storm is headed to Asheville and a dam was about to burst in western. These claims sent residents into another round of worry after their homes were already ravaged by Helene, and many called the reports to the emergency responders, who were already struggling to meet the needs of Helene’s victims.
“People need resources, and we need them to get into the system,” Criswell said. “It’s just a shame that people are sitting home on their comfortable couches while we have thousands of people here on the ground that have left their own families to be able to help those in need.”
