We are witnessing the most unrepentant pathological liar in US history intentionally reek havoc against the American people — and it needs to end. As Hurricane Milton barrels towards Florida, FEMA administrator Deanne Criswell went on CNN to beg Trump to stop lying: "His accusations are just completely false,” Criswell said Tuesday on CNN. “... Just because you don't see somebody on the ground in a FEMA shirt, doesn't mean that we don't have people there. We have people that are embedded in the state Emergency Operations Center. I have teams that are walking around neighborhoods. I have teams that are embedded with all of the county EOC’s.” “People are on the ground, but we're also bringing in resources. And it's not just FEMA. We are one part of the federal family. We have over 3,400 members from across all federal agencies in North Carolina, helping to support this response. We will continue to bring in more resources as we go into the recovery and the long term needs that these communities have.” “We really have just got to stop this rhetoric, because what it's doing is it's putting fear in the people that we're not going to be there to help them,” Criswell continued. “And I worry that they won't register for assistance with us and get access to the critical resources that they are eligible for.” The FEMA administrator noted that on the ground, “The majority of people, the local leaders, the sheriffs” are “also helping to fight back on this narrative, letting people know that FEMA has been there with them.”
