Hurricane, FEMA and Political Theater: VP Role In Disaster Response

from Firing Lane · host Croaky Caiman

In this Firing Lane episode, we dissect the political missteps of Vice President Kamala Harris during recent hurricanes, where she attempted to politicize disaster response and position herself as a leader. However, we break down the actual FEMA chain of command, governed by the Stafford Act, showing that the Vice President has no operational role. Governor Ron DeSantis capitalized on this, making it clear Harris had no involvement while President Biden praised DeSantis’s effective leadership. The episode explores how Harris’s political maneuvering backfired, leaving her looking like a pretender instead of a leader.
