The FEMA Spokesperson, Jaclyn Rothenberg, may have locked down her “X” account temporarily as was reported; in fairness though it was open when I checked. However, of the top 11 “X”s for Jaclyn Rotheberg, six the 11 (55%) were re-“X’s” of attacks on Donald J. Trump, lessons on dis-information, and accusatory reports of dis-information. As a former press officer, I would suggest that the FEMA Spokesperson focus on success stories of what the U.S. Government is accomplishing and the next steps of the response and recovery effort. Spending the majority of social media time on shutting down others does not reflect well on U.S. Government efforts to save American lives and properties.
On the 12th “X” from Jaclyn Rothenberg, I had to a little math. The “X” was a good news story on aid to South Carolina. There is nothing wrong with this – the story presented hard metrics on effective delivery of Federal Government Services. It said, “In South Carolina, FEMA has delivered over $4.7 million to over 5,700 households”; sounds impressive, but that is only $824 per household. This is where the Harris response and recovery story falls apart. $824 is not much for a household that was just wiped out or damaged. Many Americans are outraged at the crazed give away of pre-paid debit cards to illegal aliens. The New York Times wants to quibble and argue that the cards for illegals are not $10,000 debit cards, but the reality is that in New York City, the cards are being loaded at $350 a week which is $18,200 a year. This is on top of many other perks and benefits. If FEMA was delivering equal support for U.S. Citizens, they might not have to spend 55% of their “X” time attacking and silencing others.
