“Quite frankly, these lies are un-American, and there’s simply no place for them: not now, not ever.”
President Joe Biden at the White House
Former President Donald Trump, according to President Joe Biden, has been accused of "reckless and irresponsible and relentless promotion of disinformation and outright lies on what's going on" in relation to efforts to respond to hurricanes Milton and Helene.
Biden stated to reporters on Wednesday, "It's undermining the confidence of the people in Florida and the incredible rescue and recovery work that has been undertaken." According to the president, Trump "has led this onslaught of lies," including the false assertions that FEMA has diverted funds from its relief funds to house migrants, that authorities are taking advantage of the storm to seize property from those in its path, and that federal assistance has been limited to $750. Additionally, he criticized the "even more bizarre" assertion that the federal government is "controlling the weather" made by Republican US Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, where 33 people lost their lives as a result of Hurricane Helene. Are we in charge of the weather? It is beyond absurd. He stated, "It has to stop because it is so stupid." Biden appeared to be at a loss for words when reporters in the room asked why Trump and others have taken advantage of the situation to spread false information. Biden stated, "I don't know, I simply don't know." You can speculate, but I just find it—the phrase has been used more than any other in my entire career: un-American. It's not who we are, and it's not American. What are they discussing?
