There have been threats against Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) employees responding to Hurricane Helene in North Carolina, according to a local sheriff. "Recently in the mountain region, there have been threats made against them," Ashe County Sheriff Phil Howell posted on Facebook regarding the alleged threats against FEMA employees. "This has not happened in Ashe County or the surrounding counties," Howell added.

    OK, alex-aware take that I don't mean to be taken seriously:

    Since the politicians neglected to properly fund FEMA, they are intentionally exploiting/provoking the chuds' fear of the government to create an excuse for why they are failing to address the devastation from the storm effectively

    Which I guess is my way of expressing how completely baffled I am at how conspiracy theories that are completely misaligned with their interests are started and propagated by sincere participants
