President Biden accused Donald Trump of “outright lies” regarding the federal government’s response to Hurricane Helene, causing moral issues among emergency medical workers and confusing victims of the storm, the New York Times reports.
Said Biden: “The last few weeks, there’s been a reckless, irresponsible and relentless promotion of disinformation and outright lies.
It’s undermining confidence in the incredible rescue and recovery work that has already been taken and will continue to be taken. It’s harmful to those who need help the most.”CNN: Inside the White House’s desperate scramble to swat down hurricane misinformation.
