The Harris administration has diverted monies meant for the flood victims in North and South Carolina. There has been an outcry by those who need to salvage their lives. However, Harris has not delivered. And now, with another ‘CANE about to hit the Gulf Coast of Florida, funds will be scarcer than ever. We know how long it takes to repair the damage; it will be years in the making.

Karine Jean-Pierre leaves briefing after Doocy questions Lebanon funding during hurricane season
‘You can’t call a question you don’t like misinformation,’ Doocy said

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre got into a heated exchange with Fox News Channel’s Peter Doocy over the White House sending aid to Lebanon during the hurricane season, which has had devastating effects on North Carolina.
Harris pledged Saturday to send $157 million of “additional assistance” to Lebanon while Israel attacks Hezbollah infrastructure and targets in the country. Harris argued the country was “facing an increasingly dire humanitarian situation.”
Doocy asked Jean-Pierre Monday about the Biden administration asking Congress for approval to fund Small Business Association disaster loans to help areas hit by Hurricane Helene, but not to send funds to a foreign country. “On this issue of funding, the administration has money to send to Lebanon without Congress coming back. But Congress does have to come back to approve money to send to people in North Carolina. Do I have that right?” Doocy said.
“The president and the vice president has had a robust whole-of-government response to this… More than $200 million …for the disaster help,” Jean-Pierre responded, adding that “people want to do disinformation, misinformation, which is dangerous because then when folks on the ground hear that, they may not want to ask for the help that they need that is there for them.”
KJP says that the premise of your question is “MISINFORMATION.”
