President Joe Biden criticized former President Donald Trump and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., for spreading misinformation about Hurricane Milton, calling their comments “beyond ridiculous.” Biden emphasized that the misinformation undermines rescue efforts and affects those needing assistance the most.
He specifically refuted claims of the federal government controlling the weather and diverting disaster aid to migrants, labeling them as “off the wall.” Things that were singled out include Trump’s claim that people will only receive $750 in aid, and that FEMA had redirected disaster relief funds to support migrants.
