During an appearance on Fox News Channel's “The Ingraham Angle,” Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) called on the New York Times to retract. the report Then-candidate Donald Trump had “falsely claimed” that FEMA was ignoring certain areas affected by Hurricane Helen because of political leanings.
video evidence shows that At least one FEMA employee Officials were instructed to avoid affected homes with signs featuring President Trump.
“I mean, it’s upsetting,” she said. “I was hearing reports from North Carolina as well that people were being turned away. And I think that's when I started raising my head a little bit and listening to some of those claims. Because, again, after the hurricane hit, both William and Milton here, Biden called and assured them that they would get all the help they needed, but now this is not just an isolated thing. We can see that this was not the case. So this woman went as far as directing some of the people making the allegations to be directly ignored, which is completely unacceptable.”
“I don't think it was a conspiracy theory,” she added. “We know President Trump was right, but I think news outlets like the New York Times should retract their accusations as false information because clearly we were right. And clearly this is further evidence that this administration is not focused on people and Americans uniting the country, but only dividing us further.”
