Former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard harshly criticized the lack of answer the Biden administration has given to Hurricane Helene subjects, comparing it to the government’s response to last year’s Maui fire.
” And I have friends it in Asheville, North Carolina, and in other areas that have been devastated by Hurricane Helene, and they are saying the exact same thing”, Gabbard said on Fox News’s The Ingraham Angle. ” As you heard from that sheriff, they do n’t have access to water, they do n’t have access to electricity and communication. The same thing happened to our west Maui communities, and yet they claim we have n’t seen a single federal official. No even a FEMA peach vest-wearing individual going out there and conducting that examination.
Gabbard recalled Deanne Criswell, the head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, declaring that all Maui homes had receive$ 700 as compensation. Criswell claimed that he made this statement believing it to be something honorable, and the original senator from Hawaii refuted this assertion.
” It is unlucky that the people of North Carolina are facing a command in the White House who cares more about government than going out and helping these families and communities who desperately need it,” said Gabbard.
