At a campaign rally in Michigan on Thursday, Trump claimed that “Kamala spent all her FEMA money, billions of dollars, on housing for illegal migrants, many of whom should not be in our country.” He added in an election-related conspiracy theory, saying, “They stole the FEMA money, just like they stole it from a bank, so they could give it to their illegal immigrants that they want to have vote for them this season.”

This is false.

Good article.

Never though I would post some guy who is an Newsmax contributor, but he seems rational, and I am responding to my right wing crazy Maga extended family with this.

Yeah, the NewsMax bit surprised me. But he is the type to go on NewsMax to "set the record straight" because he's really big on Cybersecurity and combatting disinformation.
I'm thinking he sees it as a homegrown social media adjacent news source that regular simple people go to because they don't like politics. Unlike Fox, which he sees as a Russian Mouthpiece.
He's a bit too "GOP and Dems are both good and bad" for my taste, but his opinions on disinformation, tactics, and strategic policy are pretty spot on. He's also pro - diversity (LGBTQ+) in the military, because he cares about what works.

Anyway, it's a damn good clip that he's set up as something that will appeal to the Liberal Hating MAGA types - to help save lives.

All our local media is owned by Sinclair.
At the bottom crawler where emergency info is streamed all day, one stream is a message from them.
“The Parent Company of this Station, Sinclair, is taking donations for victims of the disaster here in NC”. Blah Blah send your cash here.
How can we possibly believe that the money WIL NOT be sent to GQP or directly to Trump campaign (Lara) to continue airing Trump FEMA fraud bullshit or Mark Robinson is a Saint gifted us from God adds that are dominating every commercial break.
No thanks. I would rather mail a mortgage payment in cash and trust it will go towards the payment.
If I still had one 😊

and I'm sorry your local media is so biased!
