Since Hurricane Helene caused widespread devastation throughout the South, the Trump campaign and other conservatives have touted a lie that federal agencies are intentionally responding slowly to Republican-voting areas. In a fiery response, FEMA spokesperson Jaclyn Rothenberg slammed the idea that FEMA takes party affiliation into account.
“FEMA helps all people before, during, and after disasters,” FEMA Spokesperson told MeidasTouch. “We help people regardless of background, across all of these states that need assistance. Our goal is to get assistance into the hands of people who need it most, regardless of their background, and that’s what we’ll continue to do.”
