Obama Called Out Trump’s And MAGA’s Hurricane Response

Obama said: “Even local Republicans said it was not true, and now the people of Florida are dealing with another devastating storm. And I want you to watch what happens over the next few day. Just like the last time, you’re going to have leaders who try to help, and then there’s — you have a guy who will just lie about it to score political points and this has consequences.”

“People are afraid and they’ve lost everything and now they’re trying to figure out ‘How do I apply for help,’ and some of them may be discouraged from getting the help they need,” he said. 

Biden, of course, pushed back at claims that his administration is keeping money from Republican communities, and even Marc Lotter, Trump’s former 2020 White House campaign spokesperson and a continuing supporter, admitted that Republican communities in Florida are receiving federal aid — though he said Republicans “feeling” like they haven’t “gotten enough support or help” is what truly matters.
