'This needs to stop!' FEMA chief goes on CNN to beg Trump to halt hurricane lies

Donald Trump is accused of trying to capitalize on catastrophic hurricanes wreaking havoc on the southeastern United States, sending a false message to his supporters that the federal government isn’t delivering aid to those affected by the historic storms.

And a senior official pleaded with him to stop Tuesday.

Since Hurricane Helene made landfall last month, killing at least 227 people, the former president has spread several lies about the federal government’s emergency response — including that Vice President Kamala Harris “spent all her FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) money, billions of dollars, on housing for illegal migrants.” He’s also said the Biden Administration is giving only $750 “to people whose homes have been washed away."

The former president delivered a variation of these false claims Monday in an interview with Fox News’ Laura Ingraham.

'Disgusting': Latest Trump rant leaves Morning Joe hosts reeling

The former president has made immigration the centerpiece of each of his campaigns, and he told conservative commentator Hugh Hewitt on Monday that migrants were genetically predisposed to criminal violence, which he often describes in graphic detail on the campaign trail despite abundant evidence that immigrants are no more likely to commit crime than native-born Americans.
