Former President Donald Trump criticized Vice President Kamala Harris for attending fundraising events on the West Coast while Hurricane Helene wreaked havoc in Florida. Trump accused Harris of neglecting her duties by not being present in the hurricane-affected areas.
During a rally in Erie, Pennsylvania, Trump expressed his disapproval of Democrats raising funds from what he referred to as 'radical-left lunatic donors' while parts of the country were grappling with the aftermath of the devastating hurricane. He extended his condolences to the families of the victims and those affected by the storm.
Trump highlighted Harris' absence in the hurricane-stricken region, questioning her priorities and suggesting that she should be actively involved in providing support and assistance to the affected communities. He emphasized that public officials like Harris should prioritize responding to natural disasters and supporting those in need.
Meanwhile, Harris was reported to have engaged in fundraising activities in San Francisco and Los Angeles, raising significant amounts of money for her campaign. The Vice President's fundraising efforts have been substantial, with her campaign amassing a considerable sum in recent months.
The contrast between Harris' fundraising activities and the hurricane devastation prompted Trump to criticize her actions, implying that her focus should have been on addressing the crisis rather than attending fundraising events. The former president's remarks underscored the ongoing debate over the appropriate response of political leaders during times of national emergencies.
