NC Newsline reports:
Trump visited North Carolina on Friday evening, taking questions from supporters in Fayetteville’s Crown Center Arena during his first visit since Hurricane Helene devastated the western part of the state. Trump said he believed the federal response to the storm had been “rotten” and “terrible.”
“They are doing — this is Katrina — the worst job on a hurricane that any administration has ever done. And these people don’t want to talk about it,” Trump said, gesturing toward the press.
And U.S. Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Florida), who moderated the event, said it was her opinion that federal authorities have “intentionally not helped out residents” because “it’s red communities impacted.”

Anna Paulina Luna voted to cut FEMA by $2.5 billion.
That’s not all. Luna supports a #Project2025 agenda that would:
End NOAA and its vital storm forecasts and warnings
Eliminate aid for families and businesses rebuilding after storms.

The day before Hurricane Helene devastated Florida, Anna Paulina Luna voted to shut down the government – proving she’s willing to put partisan games above you, our safety, and her responsibilities.
