Surveying storm damage in North Carolina, former President Donald Trump on Monday blasted federal emergency responders whose work has been stymied by armed harassment and a deluge of misinformation, but he said he was not concerned that the aftermath of Hurricane Helene would affect election results in the battleground state.
He responded by again attacking the agency and repeating the falsehood that the response was hampered because FEMA spent its budget helping people who crossed the border illegally, a claim that was debunked weeks ago by US Rep.Chuck Edwards, R-N.C., who stood behind Trump as he spoke.
Trump was asked whether it was helpful to criticise hurricane relief workers after the Federal Emergency Management Agency recently paused its work in the area because of reports they could be targeted by militia.
