Democrats and their media allies kept trying to make excuses for FEMA’s failures.
That all ended after one scandal.
And Laura Ingraham was shocked when this alleged conspiracy theory about FEMA was true.
Anna Paulina Luna slams FEMA for targeting Trump supporters
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) botched the response to Hurricanes Helene and Milton.
Storm victims complained about the slow and sometimes nonexistent response from FEMA after the hurricanes.
Democrats and their media allies claimed that any criticism of the agency’s response was misinformation.
They wanted to protect Vice President Kamala Harris from taking a political hit from FEMA’s failures during the Presidential race.
President-elect Donald Trump was attacked by the New York Times for being a conspiracy theorist for saying that FEMA was neglecting to help Republican areas.
A bombshell report from the Daily Wire uncovered that a FEMA supervisor in Florida was telling disaster relief workers to skip homes with Trump flags and signs after Hurricane Milton.
Representative Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) told Fox News host Laura Ingraham that the New York Times owed Trump an apology after the latest FEMA scandal.
“I mean, it’s infuriating,” Luna said. “We were hearing reports out of North Carolina that people were also being denied, and I think that that’s when I started kind of picking my head up and kind of listening to some of those claims.”
FEMA’s actions in Florida could be the tip of the iceberg for targeting Trump supporters.
“Because again, you know, after the hurricane hit, both Helene and Milton here, Biden called down and assured us that we would have all the assistance that we needed,” Luna stated.
“But now you’re finding that this was not just an isolated thing,” Luna continued. “I mean, this woman went as far as directing in person some of these people that were doing the claims to just ignore them, and that’s simply unacceptable.”
The New York Times owes Donald Trump an apology for smear
Trump was pummeled in the media for his criticism of FEMA but turned out to be completely right.
“I don’t think that it was a conspiracy theory,” Luna explained. “We know that President Trump was right, but I do think that outlets like the New York Times should retract their accusations, saying that that was misinformation because clearly, we’re correct. And clearly, this is just more evidence that this administration, instead of focusing on people and Americans and uniting the country, they’re just further dividing us.”
Trump was “fact-checked” by the New York Times for a statement he made on Truth Social before a visit to North Carolina after Hurricane Helene.
“[I] don’t like the reports that I’m getting about the Federal Government, and the Democrat Governor of the State, going out of their way to not help people in Republican areas,” Trump wrote.
The Times claimed there was no truth that the Biden-Harris administration was intentionally ignoring Republican areas.
FEMA’s response to the hurricanes became its own disaster and the media did everything in their power to cover up the agency’s failures.
