A North Carolina man was arrested over the weekend for allegedly threatening harm against FEMA employees responding to Hurricane Helene, according to the Rutherford County Sheriff’s Office.

 

William Jacob Parsons, 44, was arrested and charged with Going Armed to the Terror of the Public, a misdemeanor, Capt. Jamie Keever said in a news release issued Monday.

“Parsons was armed with a handgun and a rifle,” Keever said.

 

Threat caused some FEMA offices to close
“We are aware of significant misinformation online and reports of threats to response workers on the ground and the safety of responders must be taken seriously,” said Jordan Monaghan, deputy communications director for North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper. “The Governor has directed the Department of Public Safety to identify with local law enforcement the specific threats and rumors and coordinate with FEMA and other partners to ensure safety and security as this recovery effort continues.”

I don't think the nut jobs targeting Trump pay any attention to Democrats.

 

But members of the cult of Trump sure pay attention to Trump's lies. Like you, for example.

How hurricane falsehoods are dividing the Republican Party

(4 days ago)

As Donald Trump and his allies spread false claims about Hurricanes Helene and Milton, the Republican Party has split into two camps: those who try to dispel the falsehoods, and those who are doubling down on them.

 

As the country digs out, Republicans in storm-battered states appear torn between the need to curb misinformation and fear of drawing a rebuke from Trump just weeks before the election. Many lawmakers and officials have sought to counter these rumors without directly criticizing the former president or their party.

 

North Carolina state Sen. Kevin Corbin was among the first GOP officials in the hard-hit region to speak out against the rampant misinformation, decrying the “conspiracy theory junk” in a Facebook post last week. (Republican) Mayor Glenn Jacobs of Knox County, Tenn., also urged his followers last week to “quit spreading those rumors as they are counterproductive to response efforts.”

Washington Post? You mean the Newsmax of the left.

 

My cousins house survived with minor damage. Without getting into the details, she is now a Trump voter.

I guess when you got nothing, personal anecdotes whether true or make believe will have to do.
