As FEMA fends off allegations about its disaster relief funding, a 2023 webinar hosted by the agency has resurfaced depicting panelists discussing the need to reshape FEMA’s policies to emphasize “equity” over those that benefit the greatest number of people. 

The agency held the webinar in March 2023, and one the following month, featuring panelists from faith-based organizations, private non-profits, local and state governments, and others who work in disaster preparedness and relief. 

Emergency Management Specialist Tyler Atkins, who moderated the discussion, lamented that disasters compound the disadvantages experienced by the LGBTQ community. 

“LGBTQIA people, and people who have been disadvantaged are already struggling. They already have their own things to deal with. So you add a disaster on top of that, it’s just compounding on itself,” Atkins said.  

FEMA HEAD DENIES AGENCY IS SHORT ON MONEY FOR DISASTER RELIEF BECAUSE FUNDS WENT TO ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS

MIGRANTS MORE IMPORTANT THAN AMERICANS

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 slammed after Hurricane Helene over mixed messages on whether FEMA resources used for migrants

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre is facing heavy criticism after sending mixed messages on whether the Biden-Harris administration has been using FEMA resources to support migrants last week.

Jean-Pierre flatly denied that FEMA resources were going to migrants in a press conference last week, but she stated the opposite when asked about the issue in the fall of 2022.

“Former President Trump is accusing the Biden administration of using FEMA funding to support undocumented migrants.  How is the White House responding to that?” a reporter asked during a Friday press conference.

“I mean, it’s just categorically false. It is not true. It is a false statement,” Jean-Pierre responded, going on to cite a Washington Post fact-check article on the subject.

LAWMAKERS OUTRAGED OVER FEMA FUNDING CONCERNS

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said Wednesday that FEMA, which he oversees, may not have enough funds to get through the hurricane season. But officials say that disaster relief funds come from a different part of FEMA’s budget than the reported $1.4 billion in FEMA funds spent addressing the migrant crisis over the last two years.

Social media critics compared Jean-Pierre’s statement to comments made in 2022, where she appeared to explicitly state that FEMA resources were available to illegal immigrants.

She made the statement during a Sept. 16, 2022, press conference when Jean-Pierre was asked about assisting cities in handling the busloads of migrants being sent across the country from Texas.

FEEBLE JOE ADMITS THAT KAMALA MADE ALL THE DECISIONS

‘We’re singing from the same song sheet,’ Biden said of Harris’ involvement

Many conservative commentators said Friday that President Biden tying Vice President Kamala Harris so closely to his administration’s record is a boon to former President Trump’s campaign.

For the first time, Biden made an appearance during a White House press briefing where he spoke briefly about the averted port workers strike, Friday’s positive jobs numbers and announced that he may request additional money from Congress to fund Hurricane Helene relief efforts.

Biden was asked what role Harris has played amid numerous crises at home and abroad. 

“Well, she’s, I’m in constant contact with her. She’s aware we all, we’re singing from the same song sheet. We, she helped pass all the laws that are being employed,” said Biden.

“Now, she was a major player in everything we’ve done, including passage of legislation which we were told we could never pass. And so she’s been, and her, her staff is interlocked with mine in terms of all the things we’re doing,” Biden continued.

As Harris seeks to turn the page on Biden’s embattled presidency, conservatives on social media called this a gift to the Trump campaign.
