FEMA debunks rumors like Hovde’s on funding, illegal immigrants ahead of Milton:
Hope Karnopp reports Senate candidate Eric Hovde circulates false Hurricane Helene claims debunked by FEMA:
Key Points
Hovde claimed FEMA is “out of money.” FEMA says it has enough money for immediate response and recovery needs.
FEMA money is not being diverted to illegal immigrants, and individual assistance is being distributed from a dedicated fund.
FEMA urges people to seek official, trusted sources of information.
Eric Hovde
Statement: “FEMA is out of money and doesn’t have money to transfer to those people affected by the hurricane … they used the money to assist illegal immigrants.”
Eric Hovde, the Republican candidate for U.S. Senate in Wisconsin, has been circulating false claims about Hurricane Helene that federal officials are urging people to stop spreading.
“FEMA is out of money and doesn’t have money to transfer to those people affected by the hurricane,” Hovde said in a video posted Thursday on X, formerly Twitter. “They used the money to assist illegal immigrants.”
It should be unsettling for the customers of California man Hovde’s Utah-based bank to have a liar for a CEO, but perhaps opinions differ even on that simple point.
