The New York Times ‘fact checked’ Trump for ‘falsely accusing’ Biden of ‘neglecting’ GOP hurricane relief victims—The Daily Wire proved him right

In October, in the wake of the horrific impacts of Hurricanes Helene and Milton, now-President-elect Donald Trump accused the Biden-Harris administration and disaster relief agency FEMA of "neglecting" areas that were primarily comprised of GOP voters. The New York Times said these were "false claims," but a recent expose from The Daily Wire shows that Trump was accurate. The Times has not apologized, corrected, or redacted their story.

"Trump’s False Claims About the Federal Response to Hurricane Helene," read the headline of a New York Times "fact check" on October 4. It claimed that "After Hurricane Helene battered several Southeastern states last week, former President Donald J. Trump wasted no time in criticizing President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris for the federal government’s response — often making false accusations." 

The Times took issue with a Truth Social post from Trump, which read "I’ll be there shortly, but don’t like the reports that I’m getting about the Federal Government, and the Democrat Governor of the State, going out of their way to not help people in Republican areas. MAGA!"
