Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) called the federal response to Hurricane Helene a "massive failure" and pointed to the hundreds of people still missing.
"At the federal level, this has been a massive failure. And you can just ask the people there on the ground. I have been there. I was in Georgia. I was in Florida, where Hurricane Helene made landfall, there on the coast. And then we'll be going to the hardest hit parts of North Carolina on Wednesday of this week," Johnson told Shannon Bream on "Fox News Sunday."
Johnson said the federal government had advance notice of the hurricane and should have been better equipped to respond. |
