Harris Accuses Trump Of Playing Politics With Milton After She Played Politics With Helene

From the woman who never called Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis for any other hurricane for the entire length of her vice presidency until Hurricane Milton, Vice President Kamala Harris has accused former President Donald Trump of playing politics with the hurricanes.

Her ridiculous comments came when she spoke to Late Night host Stephen Colbert and after Florida was hit with both Hurricane Helene and Hurricane Milton.

“It just upsets me. So is the idea that any politician would play political games with these folks? With people who are in the midst of such suffering, loss of life, loss of their homes, loss of normalcy, and then for the sake of political gain, tell these lies in a way that is meant to make people distrust the help that is there for them to receive. It just is something we have to say. Look, at some point we have to work together. And I’ll tell you, there are plenty of leaders who are working in a bipartisan way. I’ve talked to governors of both parties who are working in a bipartisan way to get the aid to people on the ground,” the vice president said.

“This kind of manipulation is as a cynical and corrupt luck luxury,” the host said.

“And it’s crude! Have you no empathy, man!? You know, for the the suffering of other people. Have you no sense of purpose? If you purport to be a leader, to understand that being a leader means lifting people up in a time of need. And not manipulating them, you know,” the vice president said.

“But before we go on, if I may, just tonight, the hurricane that is about to hit Florida is extremely serious and is predicted to be historic in proportion in terms of the damage it will cause. And I know there are a lot of tough Floridians who have waited out many hurricanes and may think that they can do the same with this one,” she said.

“This one’s going to be different. And so I ask anybody who is watching, if you are in Florida in the predicted path of this hurricane, if you got a family member who might be, you know, thinking they can wait it out, please get in touch with them, tell them it’s not going to be like the ones we’ve seen before. Please follow your local leaders instructions. And if they’re telling you to evacuate, grab your stuff and get out,” she said.
