[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Say what you will about Biden, he believed his job was to serve all Americans. He spent a considerable amount of time and effort producing bipartisan legislation. [b]Whenever a natural disaster happened on his watch he dispatched aid immediately, whether it was in a red state or a blue state.[/b] Trump, on the other hand, has gone on record saying he hates Democrats. When his Big Beautiful Bill recently passed the House he truthed "WOW! 218-2. Has a number like that ever happened before???"...as if Democrats aren't worthy of being counted. And Trump was reluctant to dispatch federal aid to California because the state voted against him - only relenting when his advisors reminded him that millions of people in the state are Trump supporters.[/quote]

LOL.  No. 
East Palestine comes to mind.  And, his handling of the floods in NC was horrible.  Remember how FEMA personnel were told to skip over "Trump voters?"

Add to that his rhetoric of referring to people who supported Trump as "garbage" and "extreme MAGA Republicans" one can hardly claim he was serving all Americans.  [/quote]

This is a dishonest narrative.

On East Palestine you can blame DeWine and Ohio Republicans.  The Biden administration reached out immediately but got pushback from state and local officials, DeWine himself admitted Biden called and offered “anything you need” but DeWine did not take Biden up on it for almost two weeks.  And the state and local Republicans spent far more time and energy pointing fingers and blaming than actually coordinating a response and asking for help.

Likewise in NC state and local officials were far more invested in the blame game than following incident response process and requesting federal support, this time with an added element of chaos and disruption due to violent threats toward FEMA from groups claiming to be armed militias in places like Rutherford and Ashe counties along with widespread misinformation campaigns falsely claiming FEMA was blocking local response, falsely claiming FEMA was stealing supplies, falsely claiming that FEMA would only give $250 or nothing at all, leading to only 15% of affected households even reaching out for aid.  Ultimately a lot of the suffering in rural NC was self-inflicted due to deranged Republican messaging that sowed distrust through lies and disinformation.

Were there missteps by the Biden administration in both of those disasters?  Sure.  But nothing compared to the willful, intentional and damaging actions by Republicans who were clearly far more interested in smearing Biden than helping their own constituents.[/quote]
