Former President Donald Trump announced Sunday that he will do something no high-ranking member of the Biden-Harris administration has done: visit some of the areas devastated by Hurricane Helene. On Monday, Trump will be in Valdosta, GA, to talk to recovery teams and help deliver relief supplies. Over 90% of Lowndes County, GA, for which Valdosta is the county seat, is still without power.
The fairly useless head of the Biden-Harris Federal Emergency Management Agency, longtime emergency management apparatchik Deanne Criswell, says she will get around to visiting the massive disaster area spanning four states “as soon as it is possible.” [OPINION: if you can’t be bothered to move your headquarters to the sound of the guns, maybe you should just pack your s*** and get off the battlefield.]
Somehow, Trump making political hay out of this is wrong, never mind that only weeks after his inauguration, Trump was blamed for the response to Hurricane Maria despite the years of neglect and corruption by Democrat regimes in Puerto Rico. See — Trump brings Hurricane Helene into the 2024 campaign.
This is Trump’s schedule and the venue where he will speak.

It is good to see Trump will make the Biden-Harris response to the disaster, particularly in Georgia and the Carolinas, a campaign issue.
During a rally in Erie, Pennsylvania, on Sunday, Trump accused President Joe Biden of “sleeping” at his beach house in Delaware and dragged Vice President Kamala Harris for holding fundraising events in California over the weekend “when big parts of our country have been devastated by that massive hurricane.”
In my view, we’ve reached a point where it is fair to say if the Biden-Harris administration was deliberately trying to punish conservative areas of the country, what would look different than how they’ve responded to this disaster?
On Sunday, after his beach vacation, Joe Biden essentially said the federal government has done all it will do.
Reporter: “Do you have any words to the victims of the hurricane?”
Biden: “We’ve given everything that we have.”
Reporter “Are there any more resources the federal government could be giving them?”
Biden: “No.”pic.twitter.com/AETCVjcZM1

Kamala used a faux briefing on the disaster as a photo op; see HOT TAKES: People Notice Something Peculiar About a Staged Kamala Harris ‘Briefed by FEMA’ Photo. However, Harris seems to be the driving force behind the non-response. Though this is from 2022, it is very much in keeping with her Marxist ideology.
Kamala Harris thinks that aid for floods, hurricanes, tornados, & fires should be distributed based on race:

The principle of “equity” is also a priority for FEMA.

This is what “white privilege” looks like in Western North Carolina.
