FEMA accused of playing the victim after insisting criticism of Helene handling is 'dangerous:' 'The audacity'
[FOX] The administrator of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) argued Sunday that criticizing the agency's response to Hurricane Helene is "dangerous."
In an interview on ABC’s "This Week," Deanne Criswell addressed public outcry over the federal government's response to Hurricane Helene, warning that the "false" narratives spread online about the agency's handling of the hurricane could hinder FEMA's recovery efforts.
"It has a tremendous impact on the comfort level of our own employees to be able to go out there, but it's also demoralizing to all of the first responders… FEMA staff, volunteers," she told host George Stephanopoulos. "I need to make sure I can get the resources to where they are needed, and when you have this dangerous rhetoric like you’re hearing, it creates fear in our own employees."
