FEMA has been forced to temporarily stop disaster recovery efforts in several areas suffering the impacts of Hurricane Helene. Those pauses came from threats on workers and, in one case, the reported presence of an armed militia.

The sheriff of Ashe County in northwestern North Carolina shared via Facebook that FEMA offices had paused operations in the county after facing unspecified threats in the state...

The news comes after weeks of right-wing misinformation about the storm and the government's disaster response, spread online and boosted by both Donald Trump and JD Vance. President Joe Biden has publicly condemned Trump, who has stated that recovery efforts are being intentionally delayed because Helene impacted Republican voters.

Only a sociopath would spread disinformation to hamper hurricane relief efforts. This is a new low for Trump. He can go lower, though. His lowness has no limits.

    The US has a right-wing Trump-inspired terrorism problem.

    Armed Militia 'Hunting FEMA' Causes Hurricane Responders to Evacuate

    Federal emergency response workers operating in North Carolina's Rutherford County in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene were told to evacuate on Saturday over concerns that an "armed militia" was threatening workers in the area, it has been reported.

    An official with the U.S. Forest Service, which is supporting recovery efforts along with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), sent an message to numerous federal agencies at around 1 p.m. on Saturday warning that FEMA has advised all federal responders in Rutherford County to "stand down and evacuate the county immediately," The Washington Post reported.

    National Guard troops had come across two trucks of "armed militia saying they were out hunting FEMA," the email said. "The IMTs [incident management teams] have been notified and are coordinating the evacuation of all assigned personnel in that county.

    When you read about the despicable behavior of Trump supporters, it makes it easier to understand what happened in Germany that led to rise of Hitler.

    (The Hill)A North Carolina man was arrested Saturday after threatening to harm Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) employees who were aiding in the Hurricane Helene recovery effort, according to the Rutherford County Sheriff’s Office.

    Trump supporters?


  4. by Donna on October 14, 2024 12:39 pm

    Trump's sidekick Laura Loomer advised people not to cooperate with FEMA.

    None of this kind of crap ever happened before Trump.





  5. by HatetheSwamp on October 14, 2024 12:55 pm

    Lara Loomer. Yeah, right.


    But, Donna. Splain how "not to cooperate" equates to "making threats."

    On Curt's Holy Trinity and po's metaphorical Rachel I'm sure that logic holds. But, in the real world? Nuh uh.


  6. by Donna on October 14, 2024 1:27 pm

    To be exact, Loomer posted on X:

    The people of Appalachia should NOT comply with FEMA.

    This is a matter of survival.

    Do NOT compky with FEMA.


    So she's implying that complying with FEMA will get you killed.

    Loomer is a surrogate that Trump has been seen with frequently, and he didn't refute her tweet.




  7. by HatetheSwamp on October 14, 2024 2:30 pm

    "Loomer is a surrogate that Trump has been seen with frequently, and he didn't refute her tweet."

    It's odd.

    I monitor right-wing media regularly. I've never seen a clip of Loomer or read anything about her or from her on right-wing media. I ain't saying that there ain't none. But, from the progressive Swampcult? All the time.

    Now, if you can produce a Trump quote from a reliable source...


  8. by Indy! on October 14, 2024 2:34 pm

    Good lord, peebs. It's getting embarrassing. Maybe take a few days off to reassess your life?


  9. by Donna on October 14, 2024 2:55 pm

    You can visit X and read Loomer's tweet yourself. It's just like what I posted, but without the typo.

    Trump is an instigator, like you, Hate, only you're a nobody. Trump has been feeding his unquestioning and dutiful minions malarky about FEMA refusing to rescue people in Republican areas and diverting funds to undocumented immigrants, iow casting FEMA as the enemy.

    If Trump disapproved of Loomer's tweets or the actions of those making threats against FEMA, you know damned well that all he'd have to do is tell them to knock it off and that FEMA is doing a great job. He could have done that on Jan 6th too, but instead egged on the insurrectionists.

    That's how Trump has always operated. And that's why so many of his minions have done jail time, but Trump always avoids jail. He's a sly one, not to mention a sociopath.

    Donna,

    From what I know. On the right, Loomer is considered to a wacko and totally disrespectable. No one on the right that I am aware of associates with her or values her.

    You woke Swampcultists do this all the time. You find a nincompoop with extreme, crazy, ultra right views and pretend that they represent our mainstream.

    I have no doubt that you are quoting Loomer accurately. But, truth? Over here it doesn't amount to a hill of beans.

    All you ever do is get your "information" from wacked sources of woke propaganda. You don't give a d@ng about truth.

    You are, happily, intentionally misinformed. Ignernt. You only feed the preferences and prejudices that you bring with you to every moment of your life.


  11. by Indy! on October 14, 2024 3:17 pm

    Google this and you'll get plenty of photos of Trump with the Looner...

    "Trump with laura loomer"

    Take a valium. You're so defensive. I've never claimed that Loomer is mainstream, even among MAGAs. Trump was palling around with her quite a bit not too long ago, though, she does have a lot of MAGA fans, and her tweet pertained to the topic thread.


  13. by HatetheSwamp on October 14, 2024 4:13 pm

    "Trump was palling around with her quite a bit not too long ago,..."

    I'm unaware of that. How about a link to a reliable source... which you never provide.

    Laura Loomer has recently seen walking side-by-side with Trump, and flying aboard Trump’s plane with him. Comically, and probably jealously, Marjory Taylor Greene denounced her. “This is such an important election. I don’t think that she has the experience or the right mentality to advise,” Greene told reporters.

    Wow. Now Greene is the voice of reason? 😳
