Biden and Harris Under Fire as Hurricane Helene Victims Claim Government Aid Nonexistent
Despite assurances from the White House that President Biden is actively assisting Appalachia’s Hurricane Helene victims, those on the ground paint a starkly different picture. According to firsthand accounts shared on social media, families like one in Burnsville, N.C., are struggling without any substantial government aid.
An emotional video (source) circulating online shows a distraught woman lamenting her elderly aunt’s plight, missing since the storm hit. “Other than a few civilians, there’s been no real help,” she explains. “My aunt, who’s 70 and has mobility issues, is stranded with no power, water, or supplies.” (Warning: Language)

On social media platforms, calls for local sheriffs to intervene and prioritise community relief efforts over federal interference are gaining traction. Concerns also echo regarding the allocation of critical resources, such as generators and transformers, which some argue should be redirected to aid domestic crisis zones rather than international causes.
