An exasperated South Carolina sheriff slammed the Biden-Harris administration’s offer to Hurricane Helene survivors of $750 in “immediate” relief funds, arguing it was nothing compared to what they gave Ukraine and because it requires access to the internet — which residents in the worst-hit areas still do not have.

Carter, who conducted the interview in Chimney Rock, North Carolina, without internet connection and later uploaded it to X, said that a lot of people she talked to have been turned down for the $750. Carter noted, “There’s nothing up here, there’s no phone or communication. I’m going to be posting this later, there’s no way to access the internet unless you have a Starlink net.”As Breitbart News reported Monday, more than 255,000 customers across the southeast were still without power.

Vice President Kamala Harris last week announced that Americans affected by Hurricane Helene could apply for $750 for immediate needs. She said FEMA personnel would be going door-to-door to get residents the immediate relief money, and those who had an internet connection could go online to apply.
