"This is a flat out lie"
#NorthCarolina Governor #RoyCooper on Trump's lies about #HurricaneHelena aid.
Posted on 10-11-2024
"This is a flat out lie. We’re working with all partners around the clock to get help to people. Trump’s lies and conspiracy theories have hurt the morale of first responders and people who lost everything, helped scam artists and put government and rescue workers in danger. - RC "
#Trump #uspol deadly #disinformation
[Fact Check] No #votes, no #aid?
No, 2020 #votes didn’t determine #disasterrelief #delivery in #NorthCarolina #counties.
North Carolina’s Democratic governor, #RoyCooper, requested a #federal major #disaster #declaration on Sept. 27 and #President #JoeBiden #approved it the next day. "Twenty-five counties were included in the #declaration, regardless of how they voted in the 2020 presidential election."
— This claim is false
The former #POTUS #DonaldJTrump has made an outrageous claim that the #Democrat #Governor of #NorthCarolina, #RoyCooper, and the #Federal #Government, are “going out of their way to not help people in #Republican areas” following #HurricaneHelene (1).
Remember that every accusation is a confession. During the early period of #COVID the Republican #Trump #Administration reportedly baulked at a large-scale national plan in response to the #pandemic because the #virus seemed to initially favour #Democratic #states and was not (then) affecting Republican states (2, see also image).
Here in #Australia, we had a #conservative prime minister that in 2022 was faced with massive #floods and politicised the response to them: funding his party’s seats and states but not the other party’s seats and states (3). What happened to that prime minister is instructive: he led his party to the next #election and was soundly defeated: recording the worst result for Australia’s centre-right governing parties in seventy years.
