Biden Slams 'Lying' Ex-President Over Hurricane Helene Response
It's always a case of projection with Donald J. Trump. This time, he's been lying about President Biden and Kamala Harris's response in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene while politicizing it at a devastating time for Americans in the Southeast.
At nearly midnight, Trump rage posted this lie on Truth Social: "A REALLY BAD RESPONSE TO HURRICANE FROM KAMALA AND JOE!"
President Joe Biden announced Monday that he would visit flood-ravaged North Carolina to survey the damage from Hurricane Helene. He had a few words to say about Trump's lies over his hurricane response.
Via Politico:
Biden, seated behind the Resolute Desk at the White House, appeared visibly frustrated when asked about the criticism from his predecessor.
“He’s lying,” Biden said. “I don’t know why he does this. And the reason I get so angry about it — I don’t care what he says about me — but I care what he communicates to the people that are in need. He implies that we’re not doing everything possible. We are.”
Biden said he would visit Raleigh on Wednesday for a meeting with the Emergency Operations Center and would take an aerial tour of the damage in the area. He also said he hoped to travel to Georgia and Florida “as soon as possible.”
