The people most damaged by Trump’s lies are his cult members. Trump's cult followers take his lies to heart. Furious relative of North Carolinian cannot get his father in law to accept FEMA aid. FEMA workers & weathermen get death threats.

 






MARJORY TALYOR GREENE FUELS HURRICANE  CONSPIRACY THEORY


"A meteorologist based in Washington, D.C., was accused of helping the government cover up manipulating a hurricane. In Houston, a forecaster was repeatedly told to “do research” into the weather’s supposed nefarious origins. And a meteorologist for a television station in Lansing, Mich., said she had received death threats…

“Murdering meteorologists won’t stop hurricanes,” wrote the forecaster in Michigan, Katie Nickolaou, in a social media post. “I can’t believe I just had to type that.”

Emergency workers have also been targeted with abuse. In the aftermath of Helene, Federal Emergency Management Agency personnel received a significant amount of harassment, including false claims that the agency was stealing donations and diverting disaster aid to Ukraine. Calls were made for residents to form militias to defend against those workers, who also faced antisemitic and misogynistic threats."
