Former President Donald Trump criticized the Biden administration’s response to Hurricane Helene, saying that the Federal Government were “going out of their way to not help people in Republican areas.”
“We are now heading to Valdosta, Georgia, in order to pay my respects and bring lots of relief material, including fuel, equipment, water, and other things, to the State,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
“Many politicians and Law Enforcement will be there. We’ll be saying hello to Franklin Graham, Burt Jones, Tyler Harper, Mike Collins, Austin Scott, Russ Goodman, Sam Watson, and the Mayor of Valdosta Scott James.
“They are working very hard. I was also going to stop into North Carolina, which has really been hit hard. I have a lot of supplies ready for them, but access and communication is now restricted, and we want to make sure that Local Emergency Management is able to focus on helping the people most affected, and not being concerned with me.
“I’ll be there shortly, but don’t like the reports that I’m getting about the Federal Government, and the Democrat Governor of the State, going out of their way to not help people in Republican areas. MAGA!”
On a visit to Valdosta, Georgia, Donald Trump made a stop to deliver essential aid including food, water, and other supplies on Monday in the wake of Hurricane Helene’s destruction. Accompanying him was Franklin Graham, the elder son of Billy Graham and the leader of Samaritan’s Purse as well as the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association.
Upon his arrival, Trump shared plans to collaborate with Graham and his organization, Samaritan’s Purse, to facilitate the distribution of the aid to those affected.
