From Breitbart: Vice President Kamala Harris announced $750 in aid for Hurricane Helene victims, just days after her and President Joe Biden’s administration announced $8 billion in a new installment of aid for Ukraine.
Harris spent the weekend campaigning on the West Coast as the hurricane unleashed deadly destruction across the nation’s southwest, killing hundreds of Americans, with hundreds more still missing.
On Wednesday, Harris visited Georgia — two days after former President Donald Trump visited — and announced what many are criticizing as a measly amount of aid for hurricane victims: $750.
“The federal relief and assistance that we have been providing has included FEMA providing $750 for folks who need immediate needs being met, such as food, baby formula, and the like. And you can apply now,” Harris declared while speaking in Augusta, Georgia.
She said that FEMA personnel are going door-to-door to interact with people who do not have electricity, and those who do have electricity can apply online. FEMA will just need to verify their address, Harris added.

The Trump campaign fired back, “Kamala went to Georgia today and bragged about giving $750 in federal assistance to the hurricane victims — whose entire livelihoods have been completely destroyed. Illegal aliens get free health care, shelter, and college, though!”

The announcement has been met with outrage, with many noting that the Biden administration has sent billions to Ukraine, and are doling out cash, EBT cards and freebies to illegal aliens living in the U.S., but are putting American citizens at the bottom of the list.
“Is this a joke? Seriously?? $750?? Other countries get whatever the F they ask for!! Billions!! This is for us… AMERICANS! These people just showed…yet AGAIN… it’s America LAST,” X user Debbie wrote.

Eric Trump blasted Harris, saying in a Fox News interview, “There are 157 hotels in New York City that are full of illegal immigrants, and then you see these pictures of husbands and wives and children who’ve lost everything, and what does Kamala do? She comes out and offers $750!”

Fox News contributor Sara Carter wrote, “$750 for assistance for Americans devastated by Hurricane Helene $1.4 Billion plus FEMA funding (US Tax Payer $) for illegal aliens ( money allocated and spent since 2022) This is beyond Unacceptable… Kamala Harris uses our tax payer dollars to buy phones, hand out debit cards, housing, etc for illegals … she, Biden admin and the Democrats abandon Americans in need. Pray for the victims of Hurricane Helene and vote these failures out of office – November can’t come fast enough.”

One social media user, “Texas Boomer,” posted an EPIC slam: “We have given $200B to Ukraine alone, that’s $5,263.16 for each of their 38M citizens. Americans in dire need of disaster aid are getting $750. I would ask @KamalaHarris if that is ‘EQUITY’ in her mind.”

Multiple people are saying they applied for the $750 assistance and were denied:
It’s bad enough when all Kamala is offering flood victims is a check for $750…
It’s even WORSE when you hear stories like this, where their applications have been denied.
This is unforgivable. Remember in November, or you could be next. pic.twitter.com/6da0CFlBhm

BREAKING: WHATS HAPPENING TO ASHEVILLE IS A NATIONAL DISGRACE! Kamala is on the ground in Georgia 2 DAYS AFTER PRESIDENT TRUMP to offer A MEASLY $750 to those who’ve lost everything.
Mayorkas says there’s no FEMA money for hurricanes, because it’s being used for settling illegals.
Kamala missed her hurricane preparedness brief for 3 years in a row, because she never thought anyone would care. Joe attended but not this year, because he’s too senile.
And Hurricane Katrina had nonstop wall to wall MSM coverage, but Hurricane Helene is being swept under the carpet.
Guys, there is NOTHING about this administration that is AMERICAN or even just plain RIGHT. We’ve been taken over from within by people who hate us. Trump is the only way forward.

Nick Shirley wrote, “Illegal immigrants in NYC admit to receiving 7 months free rent, free meals, free insurance, and more… Meanwhile Americans affected from Hurricane Helene receive $750… Make it make sense.”
Shirley shared a video of two illegal alien women who admitted they aren’t having to pay a dime to live in a hotel for months, have their meals provided for them, and said the hotel staff even comes in to clean their room and change their sheets every day. The women said they also get medicare coverage, so their medical bills are paid. They confirmed their support for Joe Biden, because “we aren’t working or anything and he’s the one helping us.”

“Chimney Rock, NC right now. I bet $750 ought to cover it,” mocked Brandon Morse, sharing a video of the utter devastation.

The $750 is conditional on your income and whether or not you have home insurance. So even when Kamala gives, it’s conditional. Shameful because there are no conditions for illegals

Billions to Ukraine.. $750 to Americans.
Trump raised over $4MIL via GoFundMe and he’s not even in office.
America last vs. America first
