Republicans led by Orange Jesus are lying so much and the conspiracy theories and misinformation about the federal government’s response to Hurricane Helene have gotten so out of control that the Federal Emergency Management Agency created an entire page on its website, “Hurricane Helene: Rumor Response,” aimed at countering unverified claims circulating online.

A Republican senator, Kevin Corbin, in the North Carolina legislature has issued a public plea for people to stop spreading conspiracy theories about the disaster recovery efforts in areas ravaged by flooding from Hurricane Helene: “Will you all help STOP this conspiracy theory junk that is floating all over Facebook and the internet about the floods in WNC.”

Here's one for Dope1...

Rumor:
Funding for FEMA disaster response was diverted to support international efforts or border related issues.

Fact:
This is false. No money is being diverted from disaster response needs. FEMA’s disaster response efforts and individual assistance is funded through the Disaster Relief Fund, which is a dedicated fund for disaster efforts. Disaster Relief Fund money has not been diverted to other, non-disaster related efforts.

You lying liars should stop with the lies.
