Original Note:
Congress is responsible for funding FEMA, not Biden or Harris. The claim that FEMA is low on money because it gave money to "illegals" is false and has been debunked. Spreading unfounded conspiracy theories hinders recovery efforts, even GOP politicians say so. https://www.fema.gov/disaster/current/hurricane-helene/rumor-response https://www.pbs.org/newshour/nation/disinformation-and-conspiracy-theories-cloud-helene-recovery-efforts-in-hard-hit-areas https://apnews.com/article/hurricane-helene-congress-fema-funding-5be4f18e00ce2b509d6830410cf2c1cb https://thehill.com/policy/energy-environment/4916009-north-carolina-lawmaker-hurricane-helene-conspiracy-theories/amp/
