Biden warns of the “storm of the century” and fake news

Trump recently promoted the narrative that EMA funds were going to immigrants without legal status.

Shortly before Hurricane Milton reached the west coast of Florida, US President Joe Biden once again clearly warned of the strength of the storm. “It appears to be the storm of the century,” Biden said in a meeting with top officials, including the Secretary of Homeland Security and the head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Kamala Harris, Biden's running mate and Democratic presidential nominee, participated in the briefing, which was broadcast live on television.

The US President also warned against circulating false information. Biden said misinformation and lies have spread in recent weeks in a “reckless, irresponsible, and ruthless” manner. These anxious people. Former President and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is at the forefront of this campaign of lies.

At campaign events in recent days, Trump spread, among other things, the conspiracy theory that money from the ADA would flow to immigrants without legal status — Democrats wanted to use this to convince these people illegally to vote for Harris. Biden called Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene's false claims that the federal government controls the weather “absolutely ridiculous.” This must end now.

It's not often that Biden mentions Trump or other politicians by name in his speeches. In less than a month, on November 5, the US presidential elections will be held, with opinion polls predicting a tight competition between Harris and Trump. Milton, currently the second-highest Category 4 hurricane, is expected to hit the west coast of Florida on Wednesday evening (local time). Just days ago, Storm Helen caused devastation in the southeastern United States and claimed the lives of more than 200 people. (APA/DPA)
