Daniel Dale, CNN's fact- checker par excellence, has been keeping tabs on the Malignant Loser's lies about Hurricane Helene relief efforts. These are the top lines, so go to the link for the details:
Monday: Trump falsely claims Biden hasn’t answered calls from Georgia’s governor
Monday: Trump cites baseless ‘reports’ about anti-Republican bias in the North Carolina response
Thursday: Trump falsely claims the Biden-Harris response had received ‘universally’ negative reviews
Thursday: Trump falsely claims Harris spent ‘all her FEMA money’ on housing illegal migrants
Friday: Trump falsely claims $1 billion was ‘stolen’ from FEMA for migrants and has gone ‘missing’
Saturday: Trump falsely claims the federal government is only giving $750 to people who lost their homes
Saturday: Trump falsely claims there are ‘no helicopters, no rescue’ in North Carolina
Of course, a good rule of thumb when it comes to the Malignant Loser is, "if his lips are moving, he's lying."
It's been noted that his lies about Hurricane Helene are particularly sociopathic since the people who need the help, and who he's sowing distrust with, are predominantly his supporters, who need to trust that the government (local, State and Federal) is desperately trying to help them regardless of their political affiliation. It's the "depraved cruelty" that has always been at his core.
BONUS: In North Carolina, FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell blasted Republicans for trying to score political points with blatant lies about the Administration's recovery efforts: “It’s really a shame that we’re putting politics ahead of helping people, and that’s what we’re here to do. We have had the complete support of the state."
