If this is true we are going down a very ugly hole.
Government officials were forced to flee a North Carolina county amid reported threats of armed civilians out “hunting” for hurricane relief workers. “We wanted to address the current issues being spread about FEMA in Ashe County,” Sheriff B. Phil Howell wrote. “As a response, they have been here to help and assist those in need. Recently in the mountain region, there have been threats made against them. This has not happened in Ashe County or the surrounding counties. Out of an abundance of caution, they have paused their process as they are assessing the threats.”
On Saturday afternoon, the Washington Post reports a U.S. Forest Service official sent an email to several different federal agencies warning “National Guard troops had come across x2 trucks of armed militia saying [they] were out hunting FEMA,” the government body responsible for overseeing emergency response management.
The message, which has been confirmed as authentic, added that incident management teams “have been notified and are coordinating the evacuation of all assigned personnel” in Rutherford County.
While it’s understood that officials had been given the all-clear to return to the area by Sunday afternoon, similar threats were reported in Ashe County on Sunday, such that the local Sheriff’s office warned FEMA had again been forced to “pause their process” while an assessment of the risk was carried out, Axios reports.
These incidents offer the starkest evidence yet of the havoc caused by the rampant spread of misinformation as to the origin of Hurricanes Helene and Milton and the nature efforts to contain the damage caused.

So goddam stupid. 8 years, and the republic was just fine.
Just willfull stupidity.
12 years so far in direct control, 4 in subversive activity, trying for another 4.
Or do, you really think Joe has been making the calls…..lol. Who made him step down again?
Who made the phone call that caused Sanders, and Buttigeig to step down in the ‘20 primary while leading again?
Who moved into a brownstone near Georgetown and has all of the world leaders stopping by to his residence when there are important decisions to be made, and who told the MSM to stop monitoring his home? (And who immediately and obediently complied?)
What other former presidents have behaved in this fashion?
And then you actually try to throw out the dictator card in classic Liberalism Rule #1 fashion.
Like this one now (of many) under Harris’ regime?
FEMA won’t be under DEI influence under Trump, and he won’t politicize it like is being done by the D’s here.
The impact of one malignant individual and his cultists.

My take is that people are fed-up with our Government feeding billions of tax payers dollars
overseas. Then we had the current VP roll into NC and promise $750 in relief. I would hate to see this happen but I also would understand the frustration and taking matters into their own hands. This administration has feed millions of dollars to illegals only to have the VP promise $750. People are going to do what is needed to make sure their families are taken care of.
Are there any pictures of these armed militia people?
With cell phones omnipresent, it’s hard to believe no pictures are available.
Are there pictures of threats? That is seriously your question?
I'm sure you're right and FEMA is making it all up so they can slow down aid to help Harris.
One fucking moronic conspiracy after another.
The conspiracy theory that there is a widespread armed militia threat to FEMA has not been verified.

It takes a special kind of stupid to believe this story, Ned.
They have to be dumb enough to believe the redneck stereotype, they have to be dumb enough to miss the obvious manipulation of their own emotions and prejudices, and they have to be willing to cast aside the incompetence of FEMA’s response and misuse of its money that is right before their eyes.
A special kind of stupid.
“Out of an abundance of caution”.
This goes along with the Biden/Harris DEI FEMA director earlier claiming that criticism of their poor performance and misuse of funds was potentially dangerous to their agents,
R’s were correctly doing this,
The D response in the last month of the election is to go nuclear to try to blame Trump for this incompetence somehow as Harris flags in the polls.
Of course, this means they cannot be called out for bad performance. This is the result of putting DEI “safe spacer” officials in charge.
Incompetence + wrong priorities.
I don’t believe for a minute that those agents are at risk, but this dies show that HarrisHandlers will abandon American citizens to win an election. Doubt it works.
Fellow Americans will step up where the Biden/Harris govt has abandoned them
Further insight- reported by political mouthpiece Axios with this gem of a commentary at the end:
“These incidents provide the starkest evidence yet of the havoc caused by the rampant spread of misinformation about the origins of the hurricanes (wtf?) and the nature of efforts to contain the damage”.
What a total BS jump to a false conclusion. Not the claim of a credible news journalism story, but a perfect conveyance of Democrat rhetoric by mouthpiece Axios who could be trusted to deliver for them.
The claims (if they are actually true at all) do not serve as evidence.
Meanwhile, it is now off limits to criticize poor performance that costs lives and misuse of govt funds or the HarrisHandlers will take their ball and go home and let people die?!
Let no crisis go unused, Dems.
I do expect this to be swallowed hook, line, and sinker by the true libs though. Just like Jan 6 was the Day Democracy Almost Died.
Hmm. Wonder if this will make it harder to vote in those areas.

Of course it will. Meanwhile, aid in gang ridden inner cities will bravely continue.
