Hurricane Hell-ene

tell us something we didn't know...

In an interview with E&E News, Mark Harvey, Trump’s one-time senior director for resilience policy on the National Security Council staff, revealed that the former president heavily resisted signing off on disaster aid to wildfire-afflicted California because it had voted heavily against him in the 2016 presidential election.

Harvey says he finally convinced Trump to authorize disaster relief to the state one time by pulling up voting results showing a significant concentration of Republican voters in Orange County.

“We went as far as looking up how many votes he got in those impacted areas... to show him these are people who voted for you,” Harvey explained.

Harvey added that Trump only saw providing disaster relief solely through the lens of his own political benefit.

"There’s no empathy for the survivors," he said. "It is all about getting your photo-op, right? Disaster theater to make him look good.”

Harvey's account was backed up by fellow former Trump official Olivia Troye, who revealed that she often had to go to Vice President Mike Pence to get Trump to fulfill his basic duty to provide help to Americans struggling in the aftermath of a natural disaster.

FEMA debunks these lies on their webpage.

All the non-FEMA eye accounts point to FEMA lying, blocking aid, hindering rescue efforts and just generally obstructing and getting in the way. Aleady accounts of locals beating up at least one FEMA "manager". Probably won't be too long before there's a dead FEMA worker or two the way they're behaving.

I don't take the usual conspiracy accounts seriously, but when Elon Musk says they're hindering rescue efforts then I believe it
