Victims of Hurricane Helene’s devastation are voicing their frustration with the federal government’s response to the storm that wiped out communities and claimed the lives of more than 200 people.
The western portion of North Carolina appears to have been hit the worst, with the towns of Asheville, Chimney Rock, Swannanoa, and Biltmore Village among the most damaged by flash flooding.
When asked by an NBC News anchor if she had any “faith” in getting aid from the government, one Asheville woman replied, “No. No.”
“Nobody’s going to help us… I don’t know what we’re going to do,” the resident said from a pile of debris.
Jordan Lanning, another Asheville resident who lost a friend to the floods, told Fox News’ Jesse Watters that the response took “too long”:
Sad to say but the government is too busy helping other countries to be worried about their own country. This is what happens when democrats are in control. Some of the money that is sent to these foreign countries is funneled back to the democrat politicians They don’t get any kickback when the money is used for our people
