Tolliver on Trump’s FEMA Comments: It’s Dangerous to See How He Uses Disinformation to Feed His Base This Disgusting Message

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
SHARPTON: “Juanita, switching gears to the politicalization of hurricane helene’s recovery efforts. First Trump accused the Biden Administration of not being in touch with Georgia Brian Kemp, which kemp disputed and praise the response. Trump spoke Friday in a fayetteville, North Carolina, where he continued to criticize the response efforts. He has also pushed false claims that federal emergency disaster money was given to migrants in the U.S. illegally. North Carolina attorney general and democratic candidate for governor had this to say earlier today.”

UNKNOWN: “My buddy up in avery county said these rumors about FEMA are growing like wildfire. That is incredibly devastating. It is devastating psychologically to those people because they now believe, some of them, that FEMA is going to be contrary to their interest rather than trying to help them get back on their feet and get their lives put together again.”

SHARPTON: “How dangerous is trying to run a credit as communities are this vulnerable right now and need help? Not to be divided.”

Tolliver: “It is deeply dangerous when you keep in mind there are thousands of people still without power, which means they do not have internet access. And they are struggling to ask is clean running water. It is deeply dangerous to see how Donald Trump, yet again, uses lies and disinformation to feed his base this disgusting message. But when you have Republican governors, like the governor of Georgia, like the governor of Tennessee, going on record saying, that is wrong. That is a lie. It shows just how far Donald Trump is gone. And it shows the court of his intentions. He has never intended to serve the public. He has never done anything for anyone except for himself and these lies are another example. He uses that as a tool for the campaign.”
