President Joe Biden has had it with Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans spreading misinformation about the federal government's response to Hurricanes Helene and Milton and said as much during a press conference at the White House on Thursday afternoon.
The President was asked if he's spoken to Trump directly.
"Are you kidding me?" President Biden said. "Mr. President Trump, former President Trump, get a life, man. Help these people," Still-The-President Biden responded.
Trump's lies regarding FEMA relief are just the latest distraction tactic from his failing campaign. With lives at stake, President Biden told reporters at the White House earlier this week that he just had "no idea why" Trump would keep lying about the White House's response.
The lies from the right have grown so dangerous that Vice President Harris called into the Weather Channel on Wednesday ahead of Hurricane Milton's Florida landfall to discuss the FEMA response and how people impacted by the deadly storm will receive the aid they need.
The death toll from Milton was at 10 at press time on Thursday as the Category 3 hurricane continued its path of destruction across central Florida, bringing tornadoes, powerful winds, and flooding rains. The monster storm forced millions to evacuate with hundreds of thousands of others forced to shelter in place. Over 3 million residents were without power on Thursday afternoon.
House Speaker Mike Johnson has continued to refuse demands to recall the House back from its pre-election recess to vote on increasing the FEMA aid package, saying it can wait until after the election, despite the obvious need for help.
