Republican Sen. Rick Scott of Florida declined to criticize former President Donald Trump's recent comments attacking Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.
He added later:"But it's also not helpful what the vice president says when she when she thinks that FEMA is going to treat people differently based on their skin color."
Harris said during the Democratic National Committee's Women's Leadership Forum on that the Biden administration has to provide resources"based on equity." "It is our lowest income communities and our communities of color that are most impacted by these extreme conditions and impacted by issues that are not of their own making," she said."We have to address this in a way that is about giving resources based on equity, understanding that we fight for equality, but we also need to fight for equity, understanding not everyone starts out at the same place.
Scott, though, said the Federal Emergency Management Agency , which administers assistance to those affected,"has to be colorblind." on"Face the Nation," FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell said she is focused on removing barriers to accessing the agency's programs for all who need relief in the wake of natural disasters.
"These people that need our help the most are going to be able to access the help that we offer. I know that the vice President and the president, they share the same values," she said."And again, I was on the ground Friday and Saturday, and I committed to the governor then that we are going to provide assistance to all Floridians because we know that there are people that are just completely devastated from the storm. We are going to be there to support everybody that needs help.
