Republicans grapple with storm misinformation from their own party

 Republicans representing states hit by hurricanes Helene and Milton are grappling with the spread of storm misinformation, much of which has stemmed from prominent figures in their own party — including sitting lawmakers and former President Trump.

The false claims have run rampant on social media since the deadly pair of storms made their way through parts of the Southeast — most notably Florida and North Carolina — with Republicans floating inaccurate allegations about the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), disaster relief and the weather.

  1. Meanwhile Biden and Harris demand that Israel ensure every Gazan gets 3 square meals a day. Not Egypt, or Jordan. No call for Hamas to surrender immediately to end Gaza's suffering. No, Israel must aid and assist Hamas in surviving and if it doesn't, there will be a weapons embargo. But by all means, distract from that.

    1. Why every claim against the obvious misdeeds of the Republicans elicits claims of "What about this ?"- or it is simply distracting from the Democratic Crimes?

    2. I think a threatened arms embargo is more important to discuss than some ignorant Republicans getting the weather forecast wrong.

    3. The embargo is actually just a term in the contract to supply more weapons and to mollify the Arab states.
      America is provided so much aid to Israel in the last year. It's probably worth 50 years of normal aid.
