President Lambasts Congresswoman for Hurricane Aid Misinformation

In a charged Hurricane Milton update, President Joe Biden forcefully countered Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene’s claims about federal disaster relief efforts. Addressing the nation on recovery operations following Hurricane Milton’s widespread southern U.S. destruction, Biden directly challenged Greene’s assertions.

The president rebutted Greene’s recent allegations of biased aid distribution. The congresswoman had claimed on social media that relief resources were being misallocated due to political motivations, suggesting certain hard-hit areas were intentionally overlooked.

Biden declared emphatically, “We’re fully committed to aiding all Hurricane Milton-affected communities. No state or individual will be neglected. Such false claims are not only incorrect but harmful to those in need.”

Emphasizing disaster response impartiality, the president affirmed that aid allocation is based on storm impact severity, not politics. He highlighted FEMA’s ongoing multi-state efforts in damage assessment and critical aid delivery.

Biden’s statements aimed to curb social media misinformation, largely stemming from Greene’s comments. He urged citizens to rely on official sources for relief updates and disregard unverified information.

Greene, a staunch Trump supporter, has frequently opposed the current administration. This latest dispute unfolds amidst government-coordinated recovery efforts affecting millions.

Concluding, Biden stressed national unity’s importance during the crisis: “Now is the time for solidarity, not for spreading falsehoods that hinder our aid efforts.”
