Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene politely informed Vice President Kamala Harris that, contrary to her claims, hurricanes are not and cannot be racist, and thus government relief should assist all who were impacted by Hurricane Ian regardless of skin color.
Last weekend Harris suggested that Hurricane Ian was racist and targeting “people of color” worse than everyone else, prompting the Vice President to announce that federal disaster relief would be dished out “based on equity.”
“It is our lowest income communities and our communities of color that are most impacted by these extreme conditions and impacted by issues that are not of their own making,” Harris said.

“And so we have to address this in a way that is about giving resources based on equity, understanding that we fight for equality, but we also need to fight for equity, understanding not everyone starts out at the same place,” said Harris.
“And if we want people to be in an equal palace, sometimes we have to take into account those disparities and do that work,” she added.
The comments drew widespread criticism who were shocked to hear the Vice President suggest that people would not receive disaster relief because of the color of their skin.
Among those shocked in the Republican Party was Greene, who later informed the Vice President that Hurricanes are not racist and government assistance should not have anything to do with people’s skin color.
.@KamalaHarris hurricanes do not target people based on the color of their skin.
Hurricanes do not discriminate.
And neither should the federal government giving aid to people suffering from the devastation of Hurricane Ian.
Is your husband’s life worth less bc he’s white?

“Hurricanes do not target people based on the color of their skin. Hurricanes do not discriminate,” Rep. Greene said in a tweet directed at Harris. “And neither should the federal government giving aid to people suffering from the devastation of Hurricane Ian.”
Greene pointed out that Second Gentleman Douglas Emhoff, the husband of Harris, is white, and asked Harris if she believes her husband’s life is worth less because of his skin color.
“Is your husband’s life worth less [because] he’s white?” Greene added.

It is shocking to see an American VP frankly say that the Biden administration chooses to serve black Americans before white Americans. All that people did for Civil Rights in this country, only to go back to Jim Crow, but make sure Jim Crow inflicts racism on white people, the same white people who were not even born when America did not have Civil Rights, were not in Selma, Alabama. What kind of people are these, they are the racists. They are the dividers. It has nothing to do with helping black people. It has to do with polarizing America, making sure we don’t get along, fomenting ignorance and hatred. This started in 2008 with Obama. They have made great headway.
What a cruel thing so say to hurting Floridians.

RIGHT ON! You hit the nail right on the head! It ALL began with the Muslim Boy King along with his “Hope & Change”! (He?) It got in because of “white guilt”, not wanting to be called a name & the worst yet, just to “make history”! He (it) was NOTHING but a “community activist”! Who votes for a Community activist!? NOT ME!

Take South Africa as a case study in what the Progressives want for America. FYI, it ain’t safe being European South African in South Africa. You might find yourself raped and given a tire necklace by that Mandela/ANC crowd.

Kamala “Knees” Harris is a racist, of this there has never been any question. It’s using her bully pulpit to attempt to legitimatize it that is astounding, but then she’s only following the lead of Dear Leader O’Biden, the Head Racist.

kamel face, and the entire devildemocommiecrat party don’t care about blak people!!!!! All they do is posture, using “equity” as an excuse to discriminate ahainst white people without helping blacks one bit!!!!! The devildemocommiecrat party is the one responsible for the KKK, segregation, Jim Crow, and racism!!!!! It wasn’t republicans calling out fire hoses and standing on school steps to prevent blacks from registering and attending schools!!!!! Devildemocommiecrats are full of hatred and are greedy for personal wealth and power!!!!! If they truly cared about blacks they would have helped them over the last 70 years!!!!! It was republicans who pushed and passed civil rights legislation in the 1960s, over the objections of devildemocommiecrats!!!!! You don’t have to take my word for it, look up the voting in congress on the Civil Rights and Voting Rights Acts of 1964 and 1965!!!!! Look at who used the filibuster to try to stop both bills!!!!!!!!!!

Camelface said what now? That is contrary to the Chocolate City with the post Katrina Aid. Plenty of N’awlins Folks lived quite well in Texas for about a year (longer in many cases). Of course, that was the “reason” Gov Blanco (D) and Bush Admin flooded the Gulf Coast with every illegal alien imaginable, giving the impetus for Obama’s mass import of moslems and opening the Border in 2011 for the 2012 election. Many of those N’awlins Folk came back with new Monte Carlos riding on insane 24″+ DUB/spinner rims with rubber band tires, as well as, some killer beats in the trunk. If I utilize my Diversity training, I can openly tell you that the diversity of those vehicle owners was completely lacking any participation from any European Americans, including the multitude of French Americans in former French Louisiana. Sadly, those N’awlins Folks did have to “sell” their vehicles. Those DUB rims are no match for N’awlins potholes. They can swallow a car whole, hand in the air. So why they were out getting their 5th or 6th Obamaphone, they headed on down to the new car dealership and took advantage of Obama’s ‘Kash for Klunkers’ giveaway. Unfortunately, over time, all that Grubermint Lurve for the non-European American Louisiana Folk has completely shifted to pure Grubermint Lurve for their moslem and Central American colonizers. Must be harsh getting kicked to the curb like that. Can’t say that they weren’t given ample warning this entire Century.
