North Carolina Governor Smacks Trump On Eliminating FEMA … from Crooks & Liars John Amato

Durham, North Carolina, is facing horrible flash floods this week.

NEW: ABC 11 News helicopter captures footage today after floods swamped neighborhoods in Durham County, North Carolina overnight.

80 reported rescued by boat and almost 20,000 without power.

Gutting NOAA and FEMA is insanity and deadly.

North Carolina Gov. Josh Stein explained why Trump trying to eliminate FEMA is a fools errand and will lead to disaster.

I’ve just witnessed FEMA in action after the Pacific Palisades wildfires, and they have been essential to many of the people who lost their homes.

QUESTION: As you know, the Trump administration wants to retool FEMA, maybe get rid of it, maybe put some of this responsibility back on the states.

Does that work? Can the state handle that?
