Mapping the deadly cost of Trump’s Lies: From injecting bleach to fight COVID to FEMA
The man who said to inject bleach to fight COVID is back, now spreading lies about FEMA!
"Trump encouraged his top health officials to study the injection of bleach into the human body as a means of fighting Covid... Some ex-Trump aides say they don’t even think about that day as the wildest they experienced — with the conceit that there were simply too many others. But for those there, it was instantly shocking, even by Trump standards. It quickly came to symbolize the chaotic essence of his presidency and his handling of the pandemic." - Politico
As Trump lies (and lies and lies) about FEMA, GOP gets called out on Hurricane Helene ‘hypocrisy’... Trump was at it again, lying about the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s response to victims of Hurricane Helene. There have been so many Trump lies on the storm that CNN felt compelled on Sunday to post a story: “Fact check: Six days of Trump lies about the Hurricane Helene response... dozens of congressional Republicans voted against FEMA funding, or voted to cut its funding" - NJ
See how many people died from COVID and a real time weather map with the areas that FEMA is helping with this StoryMap. Don't fall from Trump's disinfo again!
Republicans defund FEMA
“Republicans almost uniformly oppose funding for FEMA,” Goldman tweeted. “Yet when a natural disaster happens in their state, they not only come running for FEMA assistance, but they have the gall to complain about how quickly they are getting that assistance. GOP hypocrisy knows no bounds.”
Republican South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster said at a press conference that federal assistance had “been superb.” He said President Joe Biden and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg had called and told him to let them know whatever the state needed. McMaster also said FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell had called.
Glenn Jacobs, mayor of Knox County, Tenn., tweeted that if MAGA “could maybe put aside hate for a little bit and pitch in to help, that would be great.”
Trump's deadly lies
"Trump has delivered a barrage of lies and distortions about the federal response to Hurricane Helene. While various misinformation about the response has spread widely without Trump’s involvement, the Republican presidential nominee has been one of the country’s leading deceivers on the subject. Over a span of six days, in public comments and social media posts, Trump has used his powerful megaphone to endorse or invent false or unsubstantiated claims." - CNN
Biden, calling Trump a liar, reminded Americans that Trump was president, Trump redirected emergency funds. “Once again, Donald Trump is a liar,” Biden tweeted. “He’s the guy who redirected relief funds as president. We are moving heaven and earth to make sure that everyone affected by Hurricane Helene gets what they need.” - NJ
TakeAway: Don't fall for Trump's lies. Vote for Kamala Harris and Democrats to fully fund FEMA, provide disaster relief and fight Global Warming.
