White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre got into a heated exchange with Fox News Channel's Peter Doocy over the White House sending aid to Lebanon during the hurricane season, which has had devastating effects on North Carolina.
Harris pledged Saturday to send $157 million of "additional assistance" to Lebanon while Israel attacks Hezbollah infrastructure and targets in the country. Harris argued the country was "facing an increasingly dire humanitarian situation." Doocy asked Jean-Pierre why the Biden administration was soliciting congressional input before sending disaster loan funds to North Carolina, but not to send the slush funds to a foreign country.
"On this issue of funding, the administration has money to send to Lebanon without Congress coming back. But Congress does have to come back to approve money to send to people in North Carolina. Do I have that right?" Doocy said.
"The president and the vice president has had a robust whole-of-government response to this… More than $200 million, …for the disaster help," Jean-Pierre responded, adding that "people want to do disinformation, misinformation, which is dangerous."
Critics on social media were quick to slam Harris for touting the foreign aid to Lebanon, arguing that many North Carolina residents are struggling to recover from Hurricane Helene.
"Kamala is touting giving money to the people of Lebanon-while stiff-arming the humanitarian crisis in North Carolina," Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said on X. "This is Kamala’s Katrina."
"Could this be any more tone deaf? We have Americans suffering and in danger right now after the hurricane and this is what Kamala has to announce. America First!" Rep. Nick Langworthy, R-N.Y., said on X.
The controversial tweet comes as the Biden administration has continued to face backlash for its handling of Helene, with former President Trump calling the federal response to the disaster the "most incompetently managed ‘storm,’ at the federal level, ever seen before."
"No, what you're asking me is why Congress needs to come back and do their job. That's what you're asking me. Congress needs to come back and do their job and provide extra assistance, extra funding for the disaster relief fund. That's what Congress needs to do," she responded. "You may not want that, but that's okay. That's what this president wants, and that's what the vice president wants."
Jean-Pierre then stormed out of the briefing room.
