Vice President Kamala Harris recently spoke out against former President Donald Trump for spreading disinformation during response and recovery efforts following the devastating hurricanes in the Southeast. At a rally in Greenville, North Carolina, Harris accused Trump of prioritizing fear-mongering over problem-solving.
Harris specifically called out Trump for falsely claiming, without evidence, that disaster relief aid was being diverted to unrelated migrant programs. She also criticized Trump for his baseless accusations against the Biden administration's handling of Hurricane Helene, including claims of bias and lack of responsiveness.
During her speech, Harris emphasized her commitment to addressing the needs of the American people and vowed to focus on solving real problems that impact families across the country.
Before delving into her remarks, Harris offered prayers for those affected by the recent storms, which have resulted in over 100 deaths in North Carolina alone since Hurricane Helene made landfall. The widespread devastation caused by Hurricane Milton in Florida further underscored the urgent need for effective disaster response and recovery efforts.
As the nation grapples with the aftermath of these natural disasters, Harris's words serve as a reminder of the importance of leadership that prioritizes truth, empathy, and proactive problem-solving in times of crisis.
